Nets vs. Pistons NBA Player Props for Saturday, March 1
- Ausar Thompson Over 2.5 Assists (-150)
- Cameron Johnson Under 18.5 Points (-120)
Ausar Thompson Over 2.5 Assists (-150)
Nets vs Pistons, 7:00 p.m. ET
I'm going back to the well on Ausar Thompson dimes.
He's been dishing the ball out well this month, hitting the over in 9 out of 11 games at this number and averaging 3.9 dimes per game.
The spread is sitting at -11, which makes the blowout a concern, but on the second leg of a back-to-back for the Pistons, I think this game stays close.
I'm will also be sprinkling on some alternate lines at plus-money.
Pick: Ausar Thompson Over 2.5 Assists (-150)
Cameron Johnson Under 18.5 Points (-120)
Nets vs Pistons, 7:00 p.m. ET
Cam Johnson hasn't been playing well this month for the Nets, hitting the under at this number in 8 out of 9 games, and the matchup is just an average one.
Johnson does get a boost in usage without D'Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas in the lineup, but that's been consistent for the majority of the month.
I have Johnson projected for 2 full points under this number. Add in the 11-point spread and chance of a blowout, and this is a great bet.
Pick: Cameron Johnson Under 18.5 Points (-120)
