Pick #3: Aaron Gordon over 2.5 Asts (-108) 

Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets is trending up and the Toronto Raptors are allowing the 5th most assists to power forwards this season. If you want to cash in on the game, the over on 2.5 assists is the way to make it happen. In 27 games this season, Gordon has had more than 2.5 assists, with 2.9 assists at home and 2.91 assists on the road.

Over the last 20 games, Gordon has been averaging 3.7 assists per game, with more than 2.5 assists in 14 of those games. In his last 10 games, Gordon has been averaging 4.2 assists and has had more than 2.5 assists in 9 of those games. Most recently, Gordon has been averaging 4.4 assists over the last 5 games, with more than 2.5 assists in 4 of those games. It's clear that Gordon is on the upswing, and if you want to cash in on the game, the over on 2.5 assists is the way to go. 

The Toronto Raptors have been particularly vulnerable to power forwards this season, as they have allowed the 5th most assists to them on the season. With Gordon in top form and the Raptors facing a weak defense, taking the over on 2.5 assists is a smart bet. 


I think this line is about 1 too low and I would expect him to surpass this based on the hit rate and matchup.
