Odds as of May 8th

Kawhi Leonard With the Dishes

One of the most underrated aspects of Kawhi Leonard’s game is his ability to dish the rock. His coaches know it as he plays more of a point forward for the Los Angeles Clippers so he has the ball in his hands often. The books seem to forget this as they consistently forget how smooth of a passer he can be.

Leonard is averaging 9.5 potential assists per contest over his last four games. In those games, Leonard has recorded at least six assists in three of them. At +122, this is a great price for this number. Bettors will likely see 6.5 assist totals for Leonard moving forward.

Over the last three games, the New York Knicks are allowing an assist on 65.8% of opponents’ field goals made. Only three teams in the association are allowing a higher percentage. They are a ripe target for Leonard today and he should hand out at least six assists as a result.

  • The Pick: Leonard OVER 5.5 Assists (+122)
