Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes should be on Donovan Mitchell to make an impact. With an average of 30.6 points at home against Atlanta in their recent matchups, he clearly enjoys this setting. His scoring has ramped up lately, with 28 points per game in his last five home games, making the over on 28.5 points and rebounds a tantalizing bet. Mitchell's overall performance has been stellar, hitting this mark in 6 of his last 8 games. The Cavaliers will look to him to guide the offense, especially against a Hawks team that struggles to contain explosive scorers. With Mitchell's ability to find the bucket and contribute on the boards, expecting him to surpass that 28.5 threshold feels both reasonable and rewarding. Given his current form and the home-court advantage, this prop is well worth considering.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hawks face off against the Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson's rebounding numbers. While he's averaged a commendable 10.6 boards over his last five games, the story shifts when he's on the road. His away average dips to 8.8, and against the Cavaliers specifically, he has struggled to find the glass, pulling down just 7.7 rebounds in their last matchup. With Cleveland boasting a strong frontcourt, Johnson will face stiff competition for those boards. Historically, he has hit the under in three out of his last five away games, and his overall hit rate suggests he's just not able to keep that momentum against tougher opponents. So, targeting the under 9.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play here. With an expected value of 8.9 and a volatile matchup, it's a calculated risk worth taking.
