Aaron Gordon assists was one of the hottest props in the NBA recently, but after suffering an ankle injury that’ll cost him the next 4-6 weeks, we might be finding some value elsewhere on the Magic. Using the help of OddsShopper to locate the best NBA odds, let’s analyze some NBA betting picks — particularly Cole Anthony in the Magic – Raptors game.

Cole Anthony OVER 4.5 Assists vs. Toronto Raptors
If you’ve been tailing my NBA prop, you know we went of a nice run with Aaron Gordon’s assist prop. Markelle Fultz went down with an ACL tear on Jan. 6, and over the next nine games, Gordon was essentially playing point forward for the Magic. He finished with at least 5 assists in eight of the next nine games, averaging 6.7 over that span. He did slow down, with just 5 total assists over his last two games, and then he was injured during Sunday’s game.

Part of the reason Gordon’s assist streak might have been slowing down was Anthony emerging as a point guard. The rookie has finished with exactly 6 assists in three straight games, including Sunday in this exact matchup against Toronto. With Gordon’s point-forward role out of the rotation, it’ll be a group effort by the Magic, but there’s almost no choice but to let Anthony take the reigns as the distributor. Already clearing this 4.5 number consistently in recent games, look for Anthony to take his playmaking to the next level in the second half of the season, starting on Tuesday.
