Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes should be on Jalen Johnson's contributions. While he's been solid lately, averaging around 9 rebounds and 8.2 assists over his last five outings, there's a deeper story to tell when he's on the road. His numbers dip significantly-away from home, he's only managing about 7.6 assists and 8.8 rebounds, which paints a picture of a player who often struggles to find his rhythm outside familiar confines.Against the Nets, his recent away stats are even more telling. Johnson has averaged just 2 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game in their previous matchups. With a hit rate of only 4 out of the last 7 games on the road, it seems wise to lean toward the Under 17.5 on his combined rebounds and assists. Expect the Nets' defense to keep him in check, making this bet a savvy play.

As we gear up for the matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks, keep your eyes on Zaccharie Risacher, particularly for the Over 10.5 points and rebounds.

Drake Powell (Brooklyn Nets) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+118)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Brooklyn Nets gear up to face off against the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes will be on Drake Powell's rebounding numbers. With the line set at under 2.5, it's a tempting proposition given Powell's recent form. Over his last 17 games, he's managed to hit this mark only 4 times, showcasing a 76% hit rate on the under. Playing at home, where the atmosphere can often lead to heightened energy and focus, we might expect Powell to be even more engaged. However, he's still up against a formidable Atlanta frontcourt that tends to dominate the boards. Given these factors, we're leaning towards the under here-Powell's expected stat value hovers just below the mark at 2.12, reinforcing our expectation. This matchup could see him struggling to find those extra rebounds amidst the intensity of the game.
