Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New York Knicks gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, targeting Karl-Anthony Towns for under 12.5 rebounds feels like the right play. Sure, Towns has averaged 14 boards at home recently, but he's also been trending down with just 10 rebounds against this very opponent in their last meeting at Madison Square Garden. Let's not overlook his overall average of 12.2 rebounds in the last five outings; it's a tight margin. His hit rate in recent games shows promise, but with an expected stat value of just 11.61, there's a strong chance he falls short of that 12.5 mark. The Pelicans are a formidable team, making it tough for Towns to dominate the boards. You have to think he'll find himself out of position more often than not, making the under a savvy choice here. Bet smart and keep an eye on those rebound totals!
