Over his last five games, Johnson has averaged a solid 10.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists, but those numbers dip when he's on the road, where he's managing just 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists.Against the Cavaliers, he's averaged only 7.7 boards and 4.3 assists away from home, significantly lower than his overall stats. Additionally, his recent performance shows an impressive hit rate of 5 out of his last 6 games going under this line. With Cleveland's strong defense and the unpredictability of away games, it feels like a wise move to lean into the under on Johnson's combined total.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks head into Cleveland, I'm keeping a close eye on Jalen Johnson's rebounding numbers, particularly targeting the under on 9.5. While he's been solid overall, averaging 10.6 boards in his last five outings, his away games tell a different story-he's only pulling down 8.8 rebounds. Against the Cavaliers, who boast a robust frontcourt, Johnson's average dips to just 7.7 on the road. Moreover, in their last five matchups alone, he's only reached double digits twice, highlighting a clear pattern when playing away from home. The odds favor this under with an expected stat value of 8.87, suggesting that hitting under 9.5 is not just plausible but likely. With a hit rate of just 3 out of his last 5 away games, it feels like a smart move to take the under here.
