The obvious handicap is pointing out Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has cleared this prop in four of his last six games.

The standard line at FanDuel is over 10.5 assists at -138, which clearly offers value, but I’d rather attack the alternate line of 12+ assists at +128 for Jokic. I price 12+ closer to -165, so there’s a significant edge on the alternate number. Jokic is averaging 12.5 assists on 19 potential assists in two games against the Phoenix Suns this season, which highlights how this matchup has been played. It’s clear that Jordan Ott is comfortable letting Jokic operate as a passer, and I expect that approach to continue—if not be amplified—on Tuesday given the current personnel. With Mark Williams out and Oso Ighodaro starting at center, the Suns simply don’t have the size to deal with Jokic one-on-one. Ighodaro is a solid backup, but he’ll need consistent help against Jokic’s strength and interior presence. That extra attention should open up passing lanes all night.

Oklahoma City’s elite defense and Boston’s league-slowest pace create a half-court battle. Both teams are comfortable grinding possessions, and their last meeting totaled just 206 points. Expect a playoff-style game where scoring efficiency drops and possessions become limited.
