NBA Best Bets Today (May 29, 2025)

Mikal Bridges Under 3.5 Assists

-145, Bet365

Bet by Sam Choudhury

Mikal Bridges has three or fewer assists in 53 out of 98 (54.1%) games, averaging 3.6 per game. He has benefited as a playmaker due to injuries throughout the season, but has been significantly worse with Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart all active, failing to record more than three assists in 44 out of 71 (62%) games, averaging 3.3 assists per game. Since the start of the playoffs, Bridges has been under this mark in seven out of 10 (70.0%) games overall and seven out of eight (87.5%) games at home, averaging 2.8 assists in the postseason and 2.4 at home. He has yet to top two assists in each of the last three games against Indiana, including both games with Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup, averaging 1.7 assists on 3.0 potential assists during that span. The Pacers are also allowing the fourth-fewest assists to opposing small forwards.
