Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Knicks vs. Warriors showdown, targeting Karl-Anthony Towns for under 12.5 rebounds feels like a smart play. While Towns has been a powerhouse on the boards, averaging 12.2 rebounds across his last five games, the trend shifts when he faces the Warriors. Historically, he's managed just 9.2 rebounds per game against them, and when playing at home, that number drops even further to a mere 4. With the Knicks' interior defense tightening up lately, Towns may find it tougher to rack up those rebounds. He's hit the under in four of his last five home games, and with an expected stat value of just 11, it's hard to see him clearing that 12.5 mark against a team that's been limiting opposing bigs. All signs point to a calculated play on the under here-let's take advantage of it.

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Under 19.5 Rebounds + Assists (-1000)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New York Knicks gear up to host the Golden State Warriors, all eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns, but betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 19.5 seems prudent. Despite his impressive averages-12.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over the last five games-Towns has struggled to maintain those numbers against Golden State. Historically, he's only managed an average of 9.2 rebounds and 3 assists in their last matchups, with a mere 4 rebounds and 4 assists when playing at home. What's particularly striking is Towns' perfect hit rate in his last 20 games, but at home, he's only cleared this mark in 13 of his last 13. With the Warriors' disruptive defense and Towns' tendency to rely on his scoring, it feels like he might come up short. This matchup could be very telling, and betting the under here makes a lot of sense.
