More wing minutes and an existing passing contribution give Walter several routes to two assists.
2.5 AST · 26.5 MIN · 4 GAMES — Walter's four-game assist production came within a guard rotation containing other initiators. [ESPN statistics](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/tor/toronto-raptors) Secondary drives and extra passes can create assists without requiring him to control every possession.
29 PROJECTED MIN · LEONARD OUT — Leonard's absence leaves wing minutes to redistribute. [NBA report](https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2026-11-01_01_00AM.pdf) A projected 29-minute stint gives Walter more possessions in which a drive or swing pass can become a teammate's basket.
Quickley and Shead could handle most of the initiation, leaving Walter to finish possessions rather than create them. Missed spot-up jumpers after his passes would also keep the assist total down.
Settlement Rule: CASHES JA'KOBE WALTER OVER 1.5 ASSISTS WITH TWO OR MORE ASSISTS; PUSH IMPOSSIBLE.
