Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-179)

Mikal Bridges is primed for a standout performance against the Atlanta Hawks, and betting the over on his points and rebounds total of 14.5 feels like a solid move. In his last five outings, he's been hovering around that mark, averaging 14.4 points and 1.6 rebounds. However, when facing the Hawks, he steps up his game, dropping an impressive 17.6 points per night against them, and even better, he's lit them up for 25 points when on the road.Bridges' rebounding numbers also indicate a rise in production, with an average of 5 boards against Atlanta when away. His recent form shows he's hit the over in four of his last six away games, and the Knicks will rely on his scoring to compete. With a model edge suggesting he should realistically notch around 20, the value here is too good to ignore. Expect Bridges to exceed that 14.5 threshold with ease.
