Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the showdown between the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker presents an intriguing player prop opportunity. With the line set at 7.5 for combined rebounds and assists, betting the under looks like a savvy play. In his last five outings, Walker has averaged just 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists-well below our target. Compounding this is his recent history against the Mavericks; he averages a modest 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists in their last encounters. The Hawks' defensive style puts extra pressure on perimeter players, making it harder for Walker to rack up stats. Given his impressive 16 out of 17 hit rate for the under and the Mavericks' ability to limit production in these categories, it's hard to see him clearing the 7.5 mark. With an implied probability of 58.8%, this is a spot to consider going under on Walker.

Max Christie (Dallas Mavericks) Under 2.5 Assists (-189)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to betting on Max Christie's assists against the Atlanta Hawks, taking the under on 2.5 looks compelling. Sure, Christie has shown flashes of potential, but his recent numbers are telling a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 1 assist when playing away, and even against this Mavericks team, he's only managed 1.6 assists on average. With the Hawks boasting a solid defense, especially at home, it's hard to see Christie breaking out in this matchup. He's hit the under in five straight games, and that trend might continue in Atlanta. The Mavericks will likely focus on containing him, making it even more challenging to rack up assists. Trust the numbers here; there's a good chance Christie stays below that 2.5 mark.
