Dort's role as a defensive stopper and tertiary offensive option inherently limits his playmaking, making the 0.5 assist line exceptionally sharp. Across 62 games this season, Dort has logged precisely zero assists in 36 contests, translating to a stark 58.06% historical probability for the UNDER 0.5 assist prop. His anemic 15.1% usage rate and 6.8% assist percentage unequivocally confirm minimal on-ball creation responsibilities within the OKC offense. The Thunder's primary and secondary distribution points run through SGA, Giddey, and J. Williams, leaving Dort with only marginal, opportunistic passing lanes. This isn't a narrative bet; it's a hard data-driven frequency play against a razor-thin threshold. The raw season statistics mandate a fade on the OVER. 60% NO — invalid if Dort plays less than 15 minutes.
