Mohamed Diawara (New York Knicks) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-182)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the New York Knicks gear up to face the Washington Wizards, all eyes will be on Mohamed Diawara, but betting on him to sink more than 1.5 threes might be a stretch. Sure, Diawara has shown flashes of brilliance, but he's averaging just one three-pointer made in his last five outings, with a slightly better 1.6 at home. When you dig deeper, his performance against the Wizards is telling; in their recent matchups, he's only managed to hit 0.5 threes on average, and shockingly, none in their last home game against them.With a solid hit rate of 17 out of 20 at home, it's clear Diawara can find his groove, but expecting him to clear 1.5 threes against a Wizards defense that knows how to limit his range seems optimistic. The odds suggest the under might just be the smart play here.

Alex Sarr (Washington Wizards) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Alex Sarr, the numbers tell a compelling story that points towards a strong performance against the Wizards. Averaging 12.8 points and 4.6 rebounds over his last five games, Sarr's production has been steady, but there's reason to believe he can elevate his game on the road. Notably, he's been more productive away, upping his scoring to 13.4 points and grabbing 5 rebounds per game.Against the Wizards, Sarr has consistently found success, averaging 13.6 points and a solid 6.4 rebounds in their recent matchups. With a hit rate of 13 out of the last 17 games, betting on him to exceed the 18.5 combined points and rebounds feels like a smart play. Given his current trajectory and the Wizards' defensive vulnerabilities, Sarr could very well go beyond our expectations in this matchup.

Will Riley (Washington Wizards) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we dive into the matchup between the Knicks and Wizards, Will Riley's three-point shooting presents a compelling angle for a prop bet on the under at 1.5 makes. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 2 threes in his last five games, the road has not been kind to him. Specifically, during away games, he's only managed 1.6 threes, and against the Wizards, he averages just one. What's more striking is his recent performance; he's hit the under in three of his last four away games. The Wizards are also no slouches defensively, often limiting perimeter shots. With Riley's expected stat value sitting at just 1.2, it's clear that expectations are tilted in favor of the under. Given the context of this matchup, targeting Riley to finish below 1.5 threes made makes a lot of sense.
