As the Knicks gear up to host the Wizards, all eyes will be on Will Riley, but this might be a night to fade his three-point shooting. On the road, Riley's typically struggled, averaging just 1.6 threes made over his last five away games. When facing the Wizards, that number drops even further; he's managed just one three in their last five encounters. His recent form shows promise with a 13-for-19 hit rate overall, yet he's only converted 3 of his last 4 away games. With an expected stat value of 1.07, it seems the odds are not in his favor tonight. The Knicks' defense can be stifling, and if they manage to contain Riley's perimeter game, the under on 1.5 threes seems to be a solid play. It's a classic case of a player's home run potential dimmed by the road and opponent dynamics.
Mohamed Diawara (New York Knicks) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-169)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Knicks gear up to face the Wizards, all eyes should be on Mohamed Diawara, especially when it comes to rebounding. The numbers tell a clear story: in his last five games, Diawara has averaged just 2.8 rebounds, with a dismal 1.6 at home. Even against the Wizards, he's struggled, pulling down only 0.5 boards on average, and shockingly, he hasn't snagged a single rebound at home against this team. With his overall hit rate showing success in just 15 of his last 20 outings and a perfect 3-for-3 at home recently, it's clear that expectations are skewed. The odds suggest a 62.9% chance he stays under 3.5 rebounds, and with the Wizards not posing a significant threat on the boards, betting the under here seems like a smart play. Diawara's rebounding prowess just doesn't align with the stakes in this matchup.
