I’m fading Stephon Castle, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Williams, and Karl-Anthony Towns in some fashion as part of Monday’s 11-game slate.

Stephon Castle Under 30.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Victor Wembanyama back in the starting lineup and De’Aaron Fox listed as questionable, Stephon Castle’s usage might go down a bit for the San Antonio Spurs. Castle averages 1.6 fewer assists and six fewer points with Wembanyama on the court, according to Databallr.

In addition, Castle has collected 15 rebounds over his last six games as Wembanyama has increased his playing time. This PRA line has been above 30 only once since Wembanyama returned. Castle finished Under that mark (29 on Saturday), and I expect him to do so again.

Our Liam Fox backs Castle on a different combo total as part of his Cavaliers vs. Spurs player props.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 5.5 assists (+116) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Giannis Antetokounmpo made his return from injury against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. He played 25 minutes, scoring 29 points, capped off by a controversial windmill dunk.

But I’m fading Antetokounmpo’s passing, as he might continue to play limited minutes. He recorded zero assists on four potential dimes against Chicago. This season, he’s averaging 5.8 assists on 11.1 potential dimes, failing to clear this line in 10 of his 18 contests.

Rather than pay the steep price on Under 6.5 assists, I prefer the plus-money offering on 5.5 at FanDuel. I project four dimes tonight.

Jalen Williams Under 30.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams hasn’t been the same level of player since returning from a wrist injury. He’s averaging 17.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game this year. He hasn’t cleared this PRA line in nine of his 13 contests.

I don’t see that trend changing against the Atlanta Hawks, mainly because the Thunder might pull away in the second half. Atlanta has lost six in a row, forcing trade speculation to pick up over the weekend.

FanDuel is charging -128 for the same Under, meaning bet365’s bargain is worth taking.

Karl-Anthony Towns Under 2.5 assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart out, the market expects a big night from New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns against the New Orleans Pelicans. His scoring prop has climbed three points since the Christmas Day matchup, while his rebound line is up two boards.

The only market that has remained unchanged is Towns’ assists. He hasn’t had more than two assists in a game since Dec. 5. And he hasn’t had more than five potential assists in nine straight contests.

Assuming Towns looks to score more, I like his chances of finishing Under this line once again.
