Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Atlanta Hawks host the New York Knicks, all eyes will likely be on Jalen Johnson, but we're leaning towards his Under 19.5 combined rebounds and assists. While Johnson has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent numbers paint a more cautious picture. Over his last five games, he's averaged 9.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists-that's just 16.4 combined. Even at home, where he typically performs better, his numbers dip against the Knicks, tallying only 4.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds in their previous encounters. With the Knicks boasting a strong defensive front, it's tough to envision Johnson surpassing that 19.5 mark, especially with his recent hit rate of just 4 out of 5. The implied probability of 72.5% suggests this is a smart play. Expect Johnson to have a solid game, but not quite enough to clear that threshold.
