Dyson Daniels (Atlanta Hawks) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Dyson Daniels takes the court against the Orlando Magic, the smart play here is to lean towards the Under on his combined rebounds and assists total of 12.5. While Daniels has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 5 assists over his last five games, his home splits tell a different story. At home, he dips to 7.6 rebounds and just 4.2 assists, reflecting a tendency to distribute the ball rather than dominate the stat sheet. Moreover, his recent performances against the Magic have him averaging only 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists at home. With a hit rate of just 4 out of his last 5 home games, the numbers suggest he might struggle to reach that 12.5 mark. In what should be a tightly contested game, expect Daniels to play a supporting role, making the Under a compelling option to consider.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 32.5 Points + Rebounds (-130)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks get ready to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Jalen Johnson, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. Targeting the under on his points and rebounds total set at 32.5 makes a lot of sense here. Johnson's recent performance shows a marked decline, averaging just 12.8 points and 8.6 rebounds over his last five games-nowhere near the required total. Even at home, where he usually finds a bit more success with averages of 19 points and 9.8 rebounds, he's struggled against the Magic with just 8.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in their last encounter. Given his overall hit rate of 6/6 recently, the odds are leaning heavily toward him staying under this number. With an expected stat value of 28.45, it looks like a savvy move to bet the under here and ride this trend as the Hawks look to secure a win.
