  • Over (10.5) +104
  • Under (10.5) -135

Harden is second in the league in assists, averaging 9.9 APG. At home, harden is bringing in 9.5 APG in 15 games this season and has finished with more than 10 assists in seven of the last 12 outings for Brooklyn.

Harden’s primary matchup on the night will likely be Ja Morant, and in the three games they have faced one another, Harden is averaging just five assists. This could likely be why NBA sportsbooks are giving the Under such short odds.

Interestingly enough, however, is that Harden is averaging 38.3 PPG against the Grizzlies guard yet sportsbooks are still giving the slight edge to the Under.

  • Over (26.5) –112
