WIN
Pacers vs. Wizards
Bub Carrington Over 4.5 Assists
ANALYSIS
Our play on Carrington over 4.5 assists is bolstered by his 24.8% assist rate and Washington’s 2nd-ranked transition frequency. In the front end of this back-to-back yesterday, Carrington led a Wizards offense that exploited a Pacers defense missing Haliburton and McConnell, a matchup advantage that intensifies today with Indiana down to an 8-man active rotation. Carrington's facilitator floor remains high as he continues to see extended minutes with Trae Young and D'Angelo Russell still unavailable for Washington.
