Ja Morant OVER 6.5 Assists (-132)

This season, Morant has been up and down arsenic a scorer, averaging 20.8 points per crippled while shooting conscionable 40.6 percent from nan section and 15.6 percent from 3-point range.

So, I'm looking to backmost him arsenic a passer, arsenic he's averaging 6.7 assists per crippled while clearing 6.5 dimes successful 4 of his six appearances this season. Morant is averaging 13.5 imaginable assists per game, but this is simply a reliable matchup against a Detroit defense that is allowing nan fewest assists per crippled to opponents successful nan convention this season.

Still, this statement is simply a small debased for Morant, who has been capable to clear 6.5 dimes successful 4 games successful a statement and is averaging 7.4 assists per crippled for his career.
