Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In Saturday's matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks, targeting Jalen Johnson for under 10.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. While Johnson has been solid overall, averaging 11.2 rebounds in his last five games, the away splits tell a different story. On the road, his average dips to 10, and against the Knicks, he's managed just 9.8 rebounds per game away from home recently. The Knicks are a formidable opponent, and their frontcourt prowess can stifle even the most reliable rebounders. Johnson's recent form shows a hit rate of just 5 out of 9 on the road, which aligns with our expectation of around 9.28 rebounds. With an implied probability of 52.1% for this under, it's clear that the numbers suggest the odds are in our favor here. Let's roll with the under on Johnson's rebounding total-it's a calculated move that makes sense.
