Adam Thompson

Morant averages 7.9 assists per game, but in his four games since a one-game injury absence, he’s dished out 10, 8, 13 and 8. Knicks point guards allow the second-most assists to opposing PGs. Morant’s shot isn’t there right now, so he can continue being a playmaker for others here.

Washington averages 15.4 ppg on the season for the Mavericks, but has a top-flight matchup here. Milwaukee is allowing a hilarious 30 ppg to opposing small forwards, by far the most in the league. He scored 15 in all four games Anthony Davis has played, so AD’s return doesn’t hurt Washington’s scoring potential.

In his two games since starting the season on the shelf, the Packers WR has four targets in each, with two receptions and four receptions. No Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden in the pass game means balls must go elsewhere. Watson should get ample opportunities.

The Eagles QB had 40-plus yards in three of the Eagles’ first four games. The last four games, however, Hurts has 28 total rush yards. The Packers have allowed the fewest rush attempts and yards to opposing QBs.

Detroit has covered 12 straight games coming off a straight-up loss. This season, the Lions have post-loss wins over 31 and 15. The Lions are coming off a disappointing loss here, and the Commanders don’t have Jayden Daniels or Terry McLaurin. When Marcus Mariota plays but McLaurin hasn’t, Washington is 0-3, with the losses by 24, 22 and 7 (vs. the Falcons). Jared Goff and his weapons against a D that’s given up over 400 yards in three straight weeks? Lions by any less than 10 would be a surprise.
