Thompson's passing rate and restored minutes create a route to four assists without repeating his latest peak.
20 AST · 107 MIN · 27 FGA — Thompson accumulated 20 assists and only 27 field-goal attempts across four appearances. That balance gives him a path through secondary creation rather than requiring a high-volume scoring role.
25 THEN 29 MIN · 8 AST LAST GAME — His latest two appearances lasted 25 and 29 minutes, with eight assists in the latter. A 29-minute workload lets the passing opportunities recur, and the 4.6-assist projection allows a reduction from his realized per-minute rate.
Cunningham can control more of the initiation and leave Thompson finishing cuts rather than supplying the final pass. Thompson's foul trouble can shorten his stint, while missed shots by teammates can strand otherwise productive passing possessions.
Settlement Rule: CASHES AUSAR THOMPSON OVER 3.5 ASSISTS WITH FOUR OR MORE ASSISTS; PUSH IMPOSSIBLE ON THE HALF.
