Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hawks gear up for their away matchup against the Cavaliers, expect Jalen Johnson to face a challenging night. While he's been solid lately with averages of 10.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists over his last five games, his performance away from home tells a different story. Johnson's average dips to 8.8 boards and 6.8 assists when traveling, and against the Cavaliers, his numbers drop even further-averaging just 7.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in their last five encounters. Given that he's exceeded the 20.5 mark only once in his last nine outings, and with a current away hit rate of 7 out of 8 on the under, it feels prudent to lean towards the under on his combined stats. The Cavaliers' defense can stifle his production, making this prop a smart bet. Keep an eye on how he adjusts to the pressure in Cleveland!

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 9.5 Assists (-222)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Hawks' clash with the Cavaliers, Jalen Johnson's assist total is an intriguing focal point. While he's been a solid playmaker recently, averaging 6.6 assists over his last five games, the numbers tell a different story when he hits the road. On away games, that average ticks up slightly to 6.8, but against Cleveland, he's only mustered 4.3 assists in their last matchups. With the Cavaliers boasting a tough defense, it's no surprise that Johnson is hitting the under on assists more often than not lately-he's cashed in on the under in four of his last four games overall. The implied probability of 69% suggests that the books are anticipating a quieter night for him. So, targeting Johnson for under 9.5 assists seems like a savvy play as he navigates a challenging game environment in Cleveland.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, all eyes should be on Onyeka Okongwu's rebounding performance. With a line set at 10.5, there's compelling reason to lean towards the under. Over his last five games, he's averaged only 8.2 boards, but when you zoom in on his away games, that number dips to just 6.4. The Cavaliers, formidable at home, have stymied opposing bigs, holding them to an average of 6.0 rebounds against them. What's more, Okongwu has not surpassed the 10.5 mark in his last 17 outings, hitting the under every single time. With an expected stat value of just 7.39, it's hard to envision him breaking through in a hostile environment. As his stats reveal a clear downward trend, the under looks like a savvy play for this matchup.
