Today's strategy is all about taking bigs who have been tearing it up offensively and on the boards and taking their non-PTS/REB lines. Those lines have steamed up too much while the others have not. Zubac is coming off games of 21/15 and 21/11 but is just 2-4 over 2.5 assists. Since last season his average and over 2.5 rate is much higher at home (2.9 avg, 26-22 over) vs the road (2.4 avg, 21-27 over). Our projection has him at 2.6 assists.
