Marcus Smart is coming in with a season line of 9.5 PPG, 2.8 RPG, and 2.8 APG, while his last-10 assist average has ticked up to 2.9 and his last-5 minutes have climbed to 32.8. The value data is strongest on assists, where the 2.5 line shows a 18.1% edge at DraftKings and similar positive edges across multiple books, making it the clearest plus-EV angle. Scoring is steadier than his recent spike suggests, with season and recent means both sitting at 9.5 points, and the opponent defense profile does not point to an obvious pace boost. The matchup context is helped by opponent absences, but with no specific defender matchup data, the best approach is to lean on role-driven props rather than chasing a big scoring ceiling.
No specific defender matchup data. The opponent profile shows a 109.53 defensive rating, pace of 100, and scoring suppression of -1.314, while opponent absences should still create extra playmaking opportunity.

This is the clearest value on the board, with multiple books showing a strong positive edge and DraftKings at 18.1%. Smart's recent role supports it too: 2.9 assists over the last 10, 3.03 at home, and 3.29 in b2b situations.

Value props show an 18.1% edge at DraftKings with our projected over probability at 0.668. His last-10 assists are 2.9, above the 2.8 season mean, and opponent absences should support more on-ball creation.
The best available value is only a 7.5% edge at DraftKings, so this is playable but not elite. His season mean is 9.5 points and recent mean is 9.5, but the scoring profile is volatile with a 5.56 season standard deviation.
His season rebound mean is 2.8 and recent mean is 2.1, so this is close to fair rather than a strong edge. The 1.78 season standard deviation keeps confidence modest, and the value data only clears the threshold slightly at 4.4%.
No positive edge is shown for the over; every listed book has negative edge on 1.5 threes. His season mean is 1.61 and recent mean is 1.9, but the lack of value and the opponent's three suppression make the under the better side.
He is averaging 1.4 steals on the season and 1.9 over the last 10, with last-5 steals at 2.0. The line is high at 1.5, but his defensive activity is strong enough to consider the over if price is reasonable.
His season stocks rate is 1.76 and recent mean is 2.3, both above the 1.5 benchmark. This is a higher-variance combo-style look, so confidence stays moderate.
This market also shows a 18.1% edge at BetMGM with our over probability at 0.668. With opponent absences and a recent assists average of 2.9, this remains the best statistical angle.
