De'Aaron Fox o5.5 Total Assists (-105)
De’Aaron Fox has topped out at five assists in the first two games of the NBA Finals, despite sitting second on the Spurs in total potential assists at 22. We’re seeing more pairings of him and Dylan Harper, with Fox taking a back seat in scoring when San Antonio goes small. The Spurs need to jump start their transition attack and play a quicker pace, so we’ll see Fox running the point more with Harper and Castle playing off the ball as the team banks on his steady veteran hand in what will be an insane MSG. He’s shown success getting inside on the Knicks defense and dropping the ball into Wembanyama at the rim or kicking to spot-up shooters. Most Game 3 projections lean toward six assists from Fox, with a ceiling at 6.2 dimes. My number comes out to 5.9 assists, which should have this Over asking around -112.
While rest should help Victor Wembanyama crash the glass regardless of the venue — he averaged 11.75 rebounds at home this regular season compared to 11.25 on the road — neither he nor the Spurs should be trusted to shoot on the road.
