Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Step into my office folks, let's talk Jock Landale and his upcoming game versus the Washington Wizards this Friday. Now, our man Jock has been struggling a bit from behind the arc recently. If you've been following closely, you'd know that he's averaging a mere 0.4 from downtown over his last five outings. Even when you factor in his home court advantage, the numbers are still not flattering. Then, let's take a look at his track record against the Wizards. The bloke's been shooting blanks from the three-point line in their recent matchups. Add to that, the Hawks are playing some serious perimeter defense recently, not giving away anything easy beyond the arc. So, while Landale is an exceptional player, the stats suggest that betting the under on 1.5 threes made for him looks to be the smart play here. As they say, numbers never lie. Trust the process, my friends.

Onyeka Okongwu (Atlanta Hawks) Under 3.5 Assists (-175)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to face off against the Washington Wizards this Friday, many eyes are on Onyeka Okongwu. The young dynamo may be a force to reckon with, but his assist game leaves a bit to be desired, especially against the Wizards. Okongwu has averaged a mere 1.4 assists against them in previous meetups, standing significantly below our target of 3.5. Even at home, where players tend to shine, Okongwu's assist average barely creeps up to 3.2. If we peek at the broader picture, Okongwu's overall assist hit rate in his last 19 games is 17/19, with a slightly better home hit rate of 10/11. But with the Wizards on the horizon, those numbers seem less impressive. Given these stats, Onyeka Okongwu falling under 3.5 assists is a bet worth considering. Let's see how the game unfolds.

Onyeka Okongwu (Atlanta Hawks) Under 1.5 Steals (-244)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Onyeka Okongwu has a reputation for defensive prowess, but if we look closely at his recent performance, a pattern emerges that suggests a different narrative. Specifically, let's focus on the Atlanta Hawk's home court form. Okongwu's average steals at home over the last five games is a mere 0.2 per match. That's well below the 1.5 line set by FanDuel. Even when facing off against the Wizards, his steal numbers remain unimpressive, averaging only 1 steal per home game. Despite his overall hit rate, Okongwu's home performance consistently falls short. Given the data, it's hard to see any reason for a sudden upswing in thefts when the Hawks host the Wizards this Friday. So, we're tipping Okongwu for under 1.5 steals. Remember, betting isn't just about the big picture. It's about understanding the nuances. And right now, the nuances are whispering 'under'.
