    Cason Wallacepr
    under13—

    Both analysts agree with high confidence. Wallace has gone under in 14 of his last 20 games (avg 13.2) and is on a 3-game under streak averaging only 9.3 PR. The recent downtrend is sharp and the season average barely clears the line. Raybon notes the capped role is the key factor, not the matchup narrative. The panel is unanimous and the data supports it.

  11. 11
    Best betUTA @ OKC
    —
    Walker Kesslerassists
    under4—

    Both analysts agree with high confidence. Kessler has gone under 4.0 assists in all 5 of his last 5 games, averaging exactly 3.0 APG, and that holds even in games with 25+ minutes. The line is a full assist above his recent average. The data is unambiguous and the panel is unanimous.

  12. 12
    Best betUTA @ OKC
    —
    Ajay Mitchellpra
    over17.5—

    Both analysts agree with high confidence. Mitchell has gone over 17.5 PRA in 15 of his last 20 games (avg 20.8), and in games with 25+ minutes that rises to 21.9. Home splits are strong (8 of 11 games, avg 20.6). The line is well below his averages in key conditions. Panel is unanimous.

Oscar Tshiebwepa
under9—

Both analysts agree with medium confidence. Tshiebwe is under 9.0 PA in 12 of his last 18 games (avg 8.9), and OKC's #1 ranked defense adds a meaningful headwind. The season average sits just below the line. Levitan notes the notable guards context is irrelevant for a center but the defensive context is relevant. Raybon echoes this. Unanimous agreement warrants a keep, though the margin is thin.

—
Vince Williams Jr.pa
under12—

Both analysts agree with medium confidence. Williams is under 12.0 PA in 11 of his last 17 games (avg 12.2) and on a 3-game under streak (avg 11.7). Facing OKC's #1 defense adds a situational downgrade. Season average is just above the line but the recent trend and matchup support the under.

—
Aaron Wigginsra
under4.5—

Both analysts agree with high confidence. Wiggins is on a 5-game under streak averaging only 1.8 RA, and his season rate (4.4 RA) is below the line. He is under in 11 of his last 17 games. The data is overwhelming and the panel is unanimous.

—
Aaron Wigginspa
under10.5—

Both analysts agree. Wiggins' season average (10.4 PA) is below the line and he is under in 11 of his last 17 games. Utah's poor defense is a surface-level positive that doesn't override his limited role and consistent output below the line. Panel is unanimous.

—
Jalen Williamsra
under10—

Both analysts agree with medium confidence. Williams' season average (9.8 RA) is below the line and he is under in 12 of his last 20 games. Notable forwards vs UTA show modest outputs. Utah's poor defense is acknowledged but Williams' role distribution doesn't suggest a spike. Panel is unanimous.
