Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker presents a compelling case for the Under on 7.5 combined rebounds and assists. His recent performance hasn't quite matched the level needed to surpass this mark. Over the last five games, he's averaged only 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists-barely making a dent in the total we're eyeing.Digging deeper, against the Mavericks, he's recorded an average of just 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists in their last encounters, while his opponents have collectively managed fewer rebounds (2.3) and assists (2.7) when facing him at home. With a staggering hit rate of 16 out of 17 on the Under, and a perfect record at home, the numbers overwhelmingly suggest that Alexander-Walker will struggle to eclipse 7.5 tonight. All signs point to a strong case for the Under here.

Max Christie (Dallas Mavericks) Under 2.5 Assists (-161)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Hawks, all eyes should be on Max Christie, particularly when considering his assist prop set at 2.5. Historically, Christie has been more of a scoring threat, and his recent performances echo this sentiment. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1 assist away from home, and against the Mavericks, that number dips to 1 as well. What's more telling is his perfect track record lately-6 of his last 6 games have seen him stay under this mark. With the Mavericks' defensive schemes tightening up, Christie might find it challenging to dish out assists amidst the chaos on the road. Given these trends, betting the under on Christie's assists feels like a wise play, especially when the numbers suggest he's more likely to fall short in this matchup.
