Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: Davion Mitchell Miami Heat OVER 7.5 Assists (+115)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tyler Herro looks to be all systems go and Davion Mitchell has eclipsed this line in 6\/7 games with Herro on the court while averaging 8.9 assists per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell’s volume shoots way up with Herro active as he’s averaged 14.4 potential assists per game compared to only 10.7 potential assists without him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chicago Bulls have allowed the 7th most assists overall with 27.7 per game and they rank dead last in assists allowed at the rim where Mitchell records 30% of his dimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell only recorded 6 assists in his lone head-to-head matchup against Chicago this season, but he did see 15 potential assists despite playing only 24 minutes due to a 36-point blowout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bulls play at the 6th fastest pace of play in the NBA with Miami ranking #1 and that’s reflected in the total being set at 238.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heat are also -7.5-point road favorites so we should see plenty of scoring leading to assists opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert NBA Player Props for Thursday: Tre Jones Chicago Bulls OVER 6.5 Assists (-140)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ll back both primary facilitators in this contest as these teams rank #1 & #6 in pace of play, and we have a huge total set at 238.5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fast pace will favor a player like Tre Jones as he thrives in transition will bringing the ball up the court as the pick-& roll ballhandler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones has covered this line in 3 of his last 5 games while averaging 17 potential assists and 60+ passes per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Giddey is on the shelf with a hamstring injury & it looks like Coby White will also miss this game and Jones has averaged 8.7 assists per 36 minutes without those players on the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Jones is facing a Miami Heat defense that has allowed the 8th most assists to opposing point guards with 9.4 per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This game sets up as a shootout with plenty of assist opportunities and Jones will be in control of the Bulls offense whenever he’s on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n
