Landry Shamet (New York Knicks) Over 7.5 Points + Rebounds (+101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Landry Shamet steps onto the court against the Atlanta Hawks, there's a palpable buzz about his potential to exceed the 7.5 points and rebounds mark. Playing at home, Shamet has been a force, hitting this over in 10 of his last 12 games at Madison Square Garden. His recent averages-6.6 points and 1.4 rebounds-don't fully capture the upward trajectory of his performance, especially against the Hawks. In their last few encounters, he's averaged 7 points at home and has shown flashes of brilliance that suggest a breakout is imminent.The Knicks are counting on his ability to stretch the floor, and with an expected stat value of 10.73, it's clear the numbers support the narrative. With a hit rate of 13 out of his last 17 games, Shamet is poised to deliver when it matters most, making the over an enticing play.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hawks take on the Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but I believe the smart play is to bet the Under on his rebounds at 10.5. While Johnson has averaged a solid 11.2 rebounds over the last five games, his numbers dip when he's on the road, bringing his away average down to just 10. Against the Knicks specifically, he's pulled in only 9.8 boards per game in their previous outings. With the Knicks boasting a formidable frontcourt, the chances to collect rebounds will dwindle. Moreover, Johnson has hit the Under in four of his last five away games, showcasing a trend that suggests he might struggle to reach that 10.5 mark. Given the tight matchup and the defensive prowess of the Knicks, I find the Under to be a compelling choice in this matchup.
