As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes are on Jalen Johnson, but taking the under on his rebounds at 10.5 might just be the smarter play. While he's shown promise with an average of 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, a closer look reveals a dip in away performances, where he's only pulling in about 10 boards per contest.Against the Knicks, that number shrinks further; Johnson's away average against them drops to around 9.8 rebounds. With an impressive overall hit rate of 12 out of 19, it's clear he's capable, but the match-up seems daunting. The Knicks excel at controlling the paint, making it tough for him to hit that double-digit mark on the road. Given these factors, the under on Johnson's rebounds is a compelling play.
Landry Shamet (New York Knicks) Over 6.5 Points + Rebounds (-127)

When the Knicks host the Hawks, keep a close eye on Landry Shamet to exceed the 6.5 points plus rebounds mark. Shamet has been a reliable contributor lately, boasting a remarkable hit rate of 13 out of his last 17 games. At home, he's been even more impressive, hitting this over in all 12 of his recent home appearances. In the past five games, he's averaged a solid 6.6 points and 1.4 rebounds, and against Atlanta, he has stepped up his game with an average of 7 points at home. The Knicks are likely to rely on his perimeter shooting, especially against a Hawks defense that can struggle to contain effective shooters. With an expected stat value teasing upwards of 10.73, this bet feels like a strong play. Grab the over while the odds are still favorable!
Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (+214)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the New York Knicks gear up to face the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes should be on Mikal Bridges and his potential to surpass 19.5 combined points and rebounds. While his recent averages of 14.8 points and 2.4 rebounds might not jump off the page, history tells a different story when he takes the court at Madison Square Garden. In his last five home games against Atlanta, Bridges has exploded for an average of 22.4 points, showcasing his knack for rising to the occasion. He's also pulled down 3.6 rebounds per game against them at home, suggesting a strong synergy with the home crowd. With the Knicks needing a boost and Bridges' ability to capitalize on matchups, betting on him to hit the Over feels like a savvy play-especially considering the 15.2% edge in his favor. Expect him to step up and deliver when it counts!
