Tage Thompson Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Kings — March 21 NHL Pick
Tage Thompson's assists prop offers sharp value on the Under at -175 odds tonight. The Buffalo Sabres face the Los Angeles Kings on March 21, and Thompson's playmaking opportunities are limited against LA's stingy defensive scheme. Our model favors backing the Under 0.5 assists line.
Tage Thompson Stats & Recent Form
Thompson has averaged just 0.6 assists per game over his last five contests, a significant dip from his season pace. The Sabres' power forward has been inconsistent as a primary playmaker, with multi-assist games rare in recent weeks. His assist total sits well below league average for a forward of his ice time and role, signaling low consistency in this category.
Matchup Analysis: Buffalo Sabres vs Los Angeles Kings
Los Angeles ranks in the NHL's top 10 for defensive efficiency and limits secondary scoring opportunities through tight gap control and strong backcheck positioning. The Kings' aggressive forechecking will prevent Thompson from setting up plays in the offensive zone, where most of his assists originate. Vegas has priced this matchup accordingly, with the Kings favored and expected to control tempo—limiting Buffalo's offensive flow.
Our Thompson Assists Prop Pick for March 21
Under 0.5 Assists at -175 is our pick. Thompson's recent assist average of 0.6 per game combined with LA's elite defensive structure creates a high-probability fade on the Over. At -175 juice, the Under is the only sensible play for Kalshi traders and DFS prop investors hunting edges. Thompson's assists prop should cash comfortably below the 0.5 threshold.
