Adam Fox Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Kings — March 16 NHL Pick
Adam Fox's assists prop is a contrarian play on Monday night's NHL slate. The New York Rangers defenseman faces the Los Angeles Kings on March 16, and our model projects Fox to fall short of his 0.5-assist line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Adam Fox Stats & Recent Form
Fox has been a steady offensive force for the Rangers this season, averaging 0.63 assists per game over his last 10 contests. However, his recent trend shows volatility: he's recorded multiple assists in just three of his last five games, with two performances yielding zero helpers. Against defensive-heavy opponents, Fox's assist totals dip noticeably—he's managed only 0.38 assists per game in matchups against top-10 defensive teams over the past month.
Matchup Analysis: New York Rangers vs Los Angeles Kings
The Kings rank 8th in the NHL in scoring defense, limiting opponent assists from the blue line effectively. Los Angeles's defensive structure emphasizes transition speed and neutral-zone pressure, which restricts Rangers defensemen from orchestrating extended offensive sequences. With the Kings playing at a deliberate pace and ranked 12th in pace-of-play metrics, Fox will face limited transition opportunities to rack up helpers.
Our Fox Assists Prop Pick for March 16
We're backing the Under 0.5 assists at -130 odds. Fox's recent performance against elite defensive teams combined with LA's defensive structure creates a clean contrarian edge on this Adam Fox prop prediction. The Rangers' top-line deployment has shifted toward more direct scoring plays rather than setup-heavy looks, further suppressing assist totals for their defensemen. Look for the Under to cash comfortably, especially in a tight defensive matchup where both teams will prioritize possession over open-ice playmaking.
