Ausar Thompson PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 3.5 Assists

The lines still haven't caught up to Thompson's new role. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said during the offseason that Detroit wanted to see him become more of a playmaker, and he's delivered, averaging 5.0 assists through his first four games with a season-high eight against Charlotte.

He's cleared 3.5 assists in three of those four games, and the only miss came in New York, when foul trouble held him to two assists before he fouled out. When Thompson stays on the floor, he's running the offense for long stretches.

He gets the Hornets again, the same team he dished eight assists against on Wednesday. Detroit is a 4.5-point road favorite, and while Charlotte plays the slowest pace in the league at 91.9 possessions per game, according to ESPN's Hollinger team stats, Thompson's role as a primary creator gives him a steady floor. Thompson at Higher 3.5 assists leads our PrizePicks NBA picks.

Domantas Sabonis PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 19.5 Rebounds + Assists

Sabonis has been a stat-sheet machine for an 0-6 Kings team. He's averaging 15.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists, and he's cleared 19.5 rebounds plus assists in five of six games.

The Kings need everything from him. Sacramento's offense runs through his passing, and he leads the league in rebounding, so his combined total has a high floor even on nights when his shot isn't falling.

Dallas is a heavy favorite with a total around 232.5, and the Mavericks play at one of the faster paces in the league. A blowout is the risk, but Sabonis has been productive in lopsided games all season. Add Sabonis to your PrizePicks NBA picks at Higher 19.5 rebounds plus assists, one of our favorite NBA props for Monday.
