Trae Young played 38 minutes against Detroit earlier this week and finished with seven assists. One more would clear his line in the rematch. Two more would pay at plus odds.
For Wizards parlay picks built around a Washington win, look at Young’s passing in past Wizards wins and Ausar Thompson’s scoring and passing in Detroit losses. Young has reached eight assists in all four wins he’s played in this season. Thompson stayed below 16 points and assists in all three Detroit losses he played in.

Trae Young: Over 7.5 assists
Young recorded 13 assists in a win over Milwaukee and exactly nine in the other three Washington wins he played. DraftKings had nine or more at +122, so the higher target would have covered the same four wins. The extra assist does narrow the margin: eight against Cleveland was enough for the main over at −138, but not for the milestone. Across all 12 appearances, the nine-assist line would have hit seven times, one fewer than the main over.
Young followed the seven against Detroit with four in 34 minutes against Indiana. Four wins are a small sample, and three landed right on nine. If you expect Washington to create more off Young’s passes this time, decide whether the plus price is worth giving up that one assist of cushion.
Ausar Thompson: Under 15.5 points and assists
Thompson scored eight and handed out four assists in Detroit’s win over Washington earlier this week. That’s a useful example of how the under can land even when Detroit wins. The line has held in all three Pistons losses he’s played in this season, and in 25 of 30 across last season and this one.
Charlotte showed how quickly the cushion can disappear. Thompson had seven points and eight assists in one meeting, just under the line. In the next, 14 points and four assists took him over. At −131, the under leaves room for Thompson to set up teammates. A bigger scoring night can use up that room quickly.

Which route fits a Washington win?
Young’s assists are the more direct fit if you expect Washington to get more baskets from its lead guard’s passes. Thompson’s under is a separate option if you see Detroit getting its scoring elsewhere. Check the book’s combined price if you want to pair either prop with Washington.
