Landry Shamet (New York Knicks) Over 6.5 Points + Rebounds (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Knicks take on the Hawks, all eyes should be on Landry Shamet to exceed that 6.5 points and rebounds mark. Playing at home, Shamet has been a reliable contributor, hitting his over in 10 of his last 12 appearances in Madison Square Garden. Although his recent averages sit at 6.6 points and 1.4 rebounds, he's shown a knack for rising to the occasion against Atlanta, averaging 7 points at home against them recently. With a solid hit rate of 13 out of 17 games overall, Shamet thrives in the spotlight. The matchup against the Hawks, who often struggle to contain versatile guards, bodes well for his scoring opportunities. Given the expected stat value of 10.73, the odds favor a breakout performance. With Shamet in a groove, it's hard to imagine he won't surpass that 6.5 mark in this crucial game.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks head to New York, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but a closer look at the numbers suggests he might struggle to hit the over on 10.5 rebounds. Sure, he's averaged 11.2 boards over his last five games, but when you peel back the layers, his away performances have dipped to just 10 rebounds per game. Against the Knicks, he's managed only 9.8 rebounds in their recent matchups, and with the pressure of Madison Square Garden looming, it's tough to expect a breakout performance. His hit rate shows a solid 12 out of 19 overall, but when you narrow it down to away games, that drops to 5 out of 9. With an expected stat value of 9.28, betting the under feels like a smart play here, especially as the Knicks tighten up their defense at home. Let's trust the trend and go under 10.5 for Johnson.
