Bam Adebayo has recorded at least five assists in six straight games. He even reached 10 assists in two of those games. For the season, he is averaging 4.9 assists per game. The Lakers have the seventh-worst defensive rating in the league, which has contributed to them allowing the fourth-most assists per game. Take the over here for Adebayo.

Not a good couple of weeks for the Lake Show, just 2-5 SU the last seven and also beaten by 19 points or more three times during that span. Three-point shooting has gone on the blink for LA and it certainly did again on Monday at Minnesota when the Lakers hit only 6 of 31 (19.4%) from deep. With third wheel Austin Reaves (hip) iffy again for tonight, not sure things get much better. Note the Heat won a pair of games vs. the Lakers last season that both didn't clear tonight's 216. We'll see about the status of Jimmy Butler, nursing a knee. Any compromise of his status doesn't seem to translate into more offense for Miami. Play Lakers-Heat Under
