J.Brunson o6.5 Ast-125

Brunson has been the clear head of the snake for the New York Knicks without Julius Randle who is missing time with a dislocated shoulder. In 11 games without Randle, Brunson is averaging 7.7 assists on 13.6 potentials per game as he carves into defenses. He has exceeded 6.5 assists in 8 of those 11 games. This matchup against the Pelicans is tougher as they have the seventh-best Adjusted Defensive Rating. However, they still are susceptible to 3 point attempts which is how Brunson gets a decent percentage of his assists. In order to beat the Pelicans’ defense, it needs to come through ball movement, and despite that elite defensive rating, they allow 26.9 assists per game - 13th most in the league. This line is an assist low for Brunson, and I expect him to exceed 6.5 dimes tonight.
