Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks get set to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but perhaps with a focus on the under for his combined rebounds and assists line of 17.5. While Johnson has shown flashes of brilliance at home, averaging 10.6 rebounds and 9 assists over his last five games there, the matchup against the Cavs presents unique challenges. Historically, he's averaged only 5.6 assists and 7.2 rebounds against Cleveland at home, which already puts him in a precarious position to hit that 17.5 mark. Moreover, his recent form has been impressive, yet it's worth noting he's hit the under in three straight games. With the Cavaliers boasting a solid frontcourt, it's likely that Johnson may struggle to tally those numbers against a defense that can stifle scoring opportunities. The numbers suggest a lean towards the under, making it a compelling angle for this matchup.
