Mohamed Diawara (New York Knicks) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-156)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Knicks prepare to take on the Wizards, Mohamed Diawara's rebounding prowess raises some eyebrows, but let's take a closer look. At home, he's averaging just 1.6 rebounds over the last five games, which doesn't bode well for hitting the 3.5 mark. In fact, against the Wizards, he's averaged a mere half a rebound per game over their last encounters, and even worse-he hasn't grabbed a single board against them at home. His recent form shows he's hit the under in 15 of his last 20 games, and he's perfect at home in his last three matchups. With the Knicks' depth in the frontcourt limiting his opportunities, backing the under on Diawara's rebounds feels like a smart play. Expect a defensive battle rather than a rebounding showcase, making the under 3.5 a solid bet here.

As the Knicks prepare to face the Wizards, all eyes should be on Will Riley's three-point shooting, particularly as he hits the road. While he's had his moments, averaging 2 threes in his last five games, those numbers dip when he's away from home-down to just 1.6 overall and a dismal 0 against Washington in their last matchup.Digging deeper, Riley has only managed to drain 1.07 expected threes against this team recently. His hit rate shows a promising 13 out of 19 overall, but on the road, he's only succeeded in 3 of his last 4 attempts. Considering the Wizards are known for tightening up their perimeter defense, it's tough to envision Riley surpassing the 1.5 mark today. The trends suggest we're looking at an Under bet that could pay off nicely as he struggles to find his rhythm.
Alex Sarr (Washington Wizards) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (+106)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As we look at Alex Sarr's upcoming matchup against the Washington Wizards, there's a compelling case for targeting the over on his points and rebounds at 19.5. Sarr has been on a tear lately, hitting this mark in 12 of his last 17 games overall, and his away performance is even more impressive-he's cleared this threshold in 15 of his last 20 road games. In his last five games, Sarr has averaged 13.4 points and 5 rebounds on the road, translating to a solid 18.4 combined. But against the Wizards, he boosts those numbers, averaging 13.6 points and 6.4 rebounds. With an expected stat value nudging 22 and a model edge suggesting he's well-positioned to exceed 19.5, it's clear Sarr is ready to make an impact. He thrives away from home, and against a vulnerable Wizards defense, this could be a breakout performance.
