Daniel Gafford over 1,5 assists is an interesting player prop for this matchup. The Dallas center is averaging 2.0 assists per game this season, putting him above the line we need.
His recent numbers offer further encouragement. Gafford has cleared 1,5 assists in seven of his last ten games, including three assists against Indiana in his latest appearance.
Gafford can contribute through simple passes around the basket, particularly when he receives the ball in the paint and finds teammates cutting toward the rim. With Dereck Lively II unavailable, Gafford’s role in the Dallas frontcourt could be important.
