Amen Thompson is coming off a triple-double against the Phoenix Suns, during which he recorded 11 assists. It's exactly for that reason that we're getting such a good price on this player prop today.

  • Thompson has gone Over this number in just two of his last five, and he's averaging 4.8 assists per game as a starter
  • He's projected for right around that mark on Thursday with 4.6 assists
  • Based on that projection, we're getting a whopping 52% positive expected value, which is why this is five stars
  • You want to talk about value? The break-even point on this player prop is -219
  • With the Warriors' veterans potentially not playing, this one could be a blowout, leading to limited minutes for Thompson

DeMar DeRozan (Kings) Over 3.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +135 via bet365 | Implied probability: 42.55%

On the flip side, there are multiple reasons we should be optimistic about DeMar DeRozan's ability to facilitate for teammates when his Sacramento Kings take on the lowly New Orleans Pelicans.

  • He's gone Over this number in three of the last five, and he's averaging 4.4 assists this month
  • DeRozan is projected for 4.3 assists on Thursday, so based on that number, a "fair" price would be -157
  • I'd play this at any of the odds available at our best sports betting sites, including DraftKings' +114
  • However, you want to maximize your potential profit by placing this player prop at bet365; the difference in potential profit between those two prices on a $10 wager is $2.10

Trey Murphy has been one of the few bright spots for an otherwise abysmal Pelicans team. His numbers have jumped across the board from last year, including his assists per game. If you look at what he's done recently, this player prop might terrify you.

  • Murphy has gone Over this total in four straight, including last night's game between these teams
  • However, he's projected for just 3.1 assists on Thursday, and a big reason for that is because the Pelicans could be without some of their more established players (including Zion Williamson) on the second night of a back to back
  • Therefore, based on that projection, a fair price on this Under would be -390
  • That's why we're getting a whopping 67% +EV on this player prop

Is Zion Williamson playing today?

There hasn't been an official announcement, but it's very unlikely Zion plays tonight on the second game of a back to back.

Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves) Under 29.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -105 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 51.22%

Up To $1,500 First Bet

It never feels good fading Anthony Edwards, especially when he's one of the few players on today's slate with a hefty minutes projection. However, there's still a lot to like about his points Under.

  • Edwards is averaging 27.5 points per game this season, and he managed only 28 on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks
  • The main reason his points total is inflated is because in the three games prior, he scored 44, 41, and 49
  • We'll use that to our advantage, as he's projected for just 26.3 against the Thunder
  • This total is likely to dip to 28.5, so if you come across that, you can still play the Under to odds as short as around -130
  • Rob Paul digs more into this game with his Thunder vs. Timberwolves prediction
