Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, targeting Jalen Johnson for under 17.5 rebounds and assists feels like a savvy play. Despite his recent surge, averaging over 16 rebounds and assists combined in the last five games, context is key here. When hitting the road, Johnson's numbers dip, with averages of just 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists away from home-barely keeping him above the mark we're betting against.Moreover, the Knicks are known for tightening defensive screws, especially in their own arena. Johnson's performance against New York also suggests trouble; he's averaged just shy of 10 rebounds and 6 assists in their recent matchups. With a strong hit rate of 4-for-4 in the last four games, this may feel like a bold call, but the numbers tell us that the under is worth a shot as he faces a tough Knicks defense on their home turf.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but we're leaning towards the under on his combined rebounds and assists prop at 12.5. Away from home, Diabate has averaged just 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists over his last few games, which puts him well below our target. Historically, he's struggled against the Magic, averaging only 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists in their last encounters. With an overall hit rate of 75% in his last four outings and 66% away from home, it's clear that while he's capable, the numbers suggest he'll be hard-pressed to reach that 12.5 threshold. Given the Magic's defensive prowess, we're confident that Diabate will fall short of this mark, making the under a savvy play as we approach tip-off.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding prowess. While he's a solid player, recent trends suggest we should take the under on his 10.5 rebounds. Over his last five outings, Diabate has averaged around 8.6 boards, and when playing away, that number dips to 8. He has faced the Magic before, grabbing just 7 rebounds on average against them.Moreover, his recent form shows he's hit the under in five of his last six contests, and he's been especially effective on the road, hitting the under in all three of his last away games. The matchup against Orlando, who typically limits second-chance opportunities, adds another layer of caution. With an expected stat value of just 7.88, it feels like a smart play to bank on Diabate staying under 10.5 rebounds.
