NBA Finals Game 2 prop bet - Total assists of Rajon Rondo To go OVER or UNDER 8.5.I bet on total assists of Rajon Rondo to go UNDER 8.5. The average assists per game of Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo throughout the NBA playoffs is 9.6. In fact, he makes most of his double-doubles by getting at least 10 assists. He averaged 10.2 APG in the first round against the Miami Heat. He averaged 11.8 against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
However, his assists per game average depreciated in the Conference Finals against the Orlando Magic, where he only averaged 8.0 APG.
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Staples Center, Rajon Rondo only managed a game-high 8 assists. It's a game high, but we've seen him do better earlier in the playoffs. In his last two games against Orlando, he only dished out 6 assists each game. In the last 3 games of Rajon Rondo, he's only averaged 6.8 APG.
Rajon Rondo better step up in the assists department, and key players like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett should be making the assists of Rajon Rondo count by converting into points. Rajon Rondo also can't be too sloppy with his passing. At present, Rajon Rondo averages 3.1 turnovers per game in the playoffs.
However, Rajon Rondo will have a difficult time getting those dishes with Kobe Bryant guarding him and guards like Derrick Fisher and Jordan Farmar able to rotate. In fact, it would be easier for Rajon Rondo to score 15 points instead of give out 9 assists.
