LaMelo Ball o7.5 Total Assists (-120)
Ball finished with 13 assists in a 136-106 blowout of the Miami Heat on March 17. Since then, Ball has recorded at least eight dimes in eight of 14 games and did so against defenses much stiffer than Miami. Charlotte took on the likes of Detroit, Boston (twice), New York (twice), Minnesota, and Phoenix – all Top 10 in defensive rating. The Heat, on the other hand, are horrendous on D. Miami was 28th in defensive rating in the final 15 games while allowing 127.5 points against in that stretch. Foes racked up an average of 30 assists per contest – fifth most.

Dillon Brooks o19.5 Points Scored (+102)
Phoenix needs either Brooks or Jalen Green to complement Booker to pull off this upset and avoid the Oklahoma City Thunder. Portland is more likely to let Brooks get an advantage than Green. That is to effectively say, betting on Phoenix’s third option is both this best bet and the Suns’ best approach to winning this game.

Stephen Curry o4.5 3-Pointers Made (+125)
Worry not that he has been back for only four games since his knee injury. Curry hit 5-of-10 triples in his first game back, part of shooting 15-of-36 (41.7%) from beyond the arc in those four games. And the Los Angeles Clippers are only middling defending against 3-pointers, ranking No. 16 in both opponent 3-pointer frequency and percentage made since James Harden left the rotation.
