Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks travel to face the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson. While he's been hot lately, averaging a solid 11.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists over his last five games, the matchup suggests a different narrative. In fact, when playing away, his numbers dip notably, with just 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists. Against the Knicks, Johnson has averaged 9.8 rebounds and 6 assists in away games, falling well short of the 20.5 mark we're targeting here. With an impressive 73.5% implied probability for the under, and a consistent trend of hitting this mark, it's clear that the odds are stacked against him. Given his recent performance and the Knicks' tough defense, betting on Johnson to stay under 20.5 combined rebounds and assists looks like a savvy move.

As the Knicks prepare to host the Hawks, all eyes will be on Mitchell Robinson's rebounding performance. While Robinson has shown flashes of brilliance, especially against Atlanta, recent numbers tell a different story. He's been averaging just 7.8 rebounds over his last five games, and at home, that number only creeps up to 8.8. What's particularly striking is his trend against the Hawks-though he has pulled down 11.8 in the past, that's not the consistent expectation we're looking at today.With Robinson's stats reflecting a robust undercurrent, it's telling that he's hit under 12.5 in his last 11 outings. This trend, combined with an implied probability of 83.3%, suggests we should expect him to struggle to crack that threshold again. Betting the under feels like a smart play as he navigates a tough interior against a Hawks team that can be surprisingly resilient on the boards.

As the Hawks gear up to face the Knicks in New York, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson's rebounding numbers. Now, while he's shown impressive averages overall-11.2 rebounds over the last five games-his away performances tell a different story. Johnson has only pulled down an average of 10 rebounds on the road, which dips even further to 9.8 against the Knicks specifically. Adding to the narrative, his recent away hit rate shows he's only surpassed the 12.5 mark in one of his last nine outings. With New York boasting a solid defensive unit, it's tough to envision Johnson breaking through that threshold. Given all this, the under on 12.5 rebounds for Johnson feels like a smart play. The numbers align to paint a clear picture: expect him to fall short in this matchup.
