Gatsby recommends a forecast for the NBA.
In this forecast we bet that Josh Giddey will distribute 5 assists or more in the game that will face the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Utah Jazz.
The main arguments of the forecast are as follows:
- First game of the season for the Oklahoma City Thunder, probably at a competitive level one of the worst squads in the league since the franchise is in clear reconstruction leaving Shai Gilgeous Alexander as the star of the team and surrounding him with young players like the one of whom it is expected that some of them can take a quality leap in the future with these minutes that they will have this season.
- One of the young men called to take the leap is precisely Josh Giddey, the number 6 of this year's draft will have the opportunity to start the season as a starter and it is expected of him that he can deploy his talent as a passer next to a Shai Gilgeous Alexander who will have the task of adding the points.Giddey is a pure point guard of 2.03m in height, a height that attracts attention for a point guard and that precisely gives him an advantage over his rivals, at the scoring level it is not a big deal, surely he lacks speed and I do not think we will see him scoring 20 points per game, where if he should shine it is in the facet of assists and that is why we are going with the modified line at a 2.55 quota because if the reading is correct I think he can easily reach this line and we would take a very good quota.As I say, the main virtue of Giddey is the pass, surely the best passer of this generation of rookies, a player who really likes pick and roll and who we will be able to see abusing this play a lot that in the end what causes is that there are simple assists for him when he bends the ball to the interior men.I think the line is going to go up as we see more of this player and we have to take advantage now that the line is low because if Giddey adapts to the rhythm of the league I think he is a player who can average 7-8 assists per game more or less easily.
