Draymond Green Assists Prediction: Under 5.5 vs Celtics — March 18 NBA Pick
Draymond Green's assists prop is a sharp Under play on tonight's NBA slate. The Golden State Warriors face the Boston Celtics on March 18, and our model projects Green to fall short of his 5.5-assist line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Draymond Green Stats & Recent Form
Green has been a complementary playmaker for the Warriors this season, averaging 4.2 assists over his last five games. While he remains an active facilitator in Golden State's offense, his volume has declined as the team leans more heavily on younger wing playmakers. Green has hit the Under on this 5.5-assist line in three of his last four games, a clear trend worth targeting. His usage rate in the backcourt continues to shrink, making consistency above 5.5 assists a difficult ask.
Matchup Analysis: Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
Boston's defense ranks in the top 10 against opposing point guards and secondary ball handlers, forcing fewer dimes per game. The Celtics' intensity on the perimeter will compress passing lanes and limit Green's ability to orchestrate from his preferred spots. Additionally, Golden State's pace ranks 18th in the league, slowing the game down and reducing overall assist opportunities. With tight defensive pressure and a deliberate Warriors offensive flow, Green's assist ceiling drops significantly.
