Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (-102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hawks face off against the Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson. While he's been a solid contributor recently, averaging 10.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists over his last five games, it's worth noting that he's been less effective on the road. His averages dip to 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists away from home, and against the Cavaliers specifically, he's managed just 7.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his last five encounters. With an expected combined stat value of around 14.65, the 17.5 mark feels a tad too lofty. The Cavaliers' defense is stingy, making it tough for opponents to rack up numbers. Given Johnson's recent hit rate of just 2 out of 3 in away games, betting the under on his rebounds and assists could be a wise move. With the odds favoring this play, it's an opportunity worth seizing.

Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Over 24.5 Points (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Donovan Mitchell is poised for a standout performance as the Cavaliers host the Hawks. With an impressive average of 28 points at home over his last five games, he thrives in front of the Cleveland crowd. The Hawks' defense has struggled to contain scorers, allowing Mitchell to feast on their weaknesses; he's dropped an average of 30.6 points against them at home in recent matchups. His recent form is hard to overlook, too, with a robust hit rate of 6 out of his last 8 games going over 24.5 points. Mitchell's ability to elevate his game, especially against Atlanta, makes this an enticing wager. Expect him to rise to the occasion, especially with the Cavaliers needing a win to solidify their playoff positioning. Betting on Mitchell to score over 24.5 points feels like a calculated play with all signs pointing to a big night.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, especially when it comes to his rebounding. While he's been a solid performer, averaging 10.6 rebounds over his last five games, the narrative shifts when he's on the road. Johnson's away average dips to 8.8 rebounds, and against the Cavaliers, it's even tougher, where he's managed just 7.7 boards in his last five games against them. The Cavaliers' size and defensive prowess make it a challenging matchup for him, and with an expected stat value hovering around 8.87, betting the under on 9.5 rebounds seems wise. Given he's only hit this number three out of his last five games away, we're banking on Johnson to fall short once again in a demanding environment. Let's ride the under on this one!
