Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, targeting Jalen Johnson for under 17.5 rebounds and assists feels like a savvy play. Despite his recent surge, averaging over 16 rebounds and assists combined in the last five games, context is key here. When hitting the road, Johnson's numbers dip, with averages of just 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists away from home-barely keeping him above the mark we're betting against.Moreover, the Knicks are known for tightening defensive screws, especially in their own arena. Johnson's performance against New York also suggests trouble; he's averaged just shy of 10 rebounds and 6 assists in their recent matchups. With a strong hit rate of 4-for-4 in the last four games, this may feel like a bold call, but the numbers tell us that the under is worth a shot as he faces a tough Knicks defense on their home turf.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but we're leaning towards the under on his combined rebounds and assists prop at 12.5. Away from home, Diabate has averaged just 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists over his last few games, which puts him well below our target. Historically, he's struggled against the Magic, averaging only 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists in their last encounters. With an overall hit rate of 75% in his last four outings and 66% away from home, it's clear that while he's capable, the numbers suggest he'll be hard-pressed to reach that 12.5 threshold. Given the Magic's defensive prowess, we're confident that Diabate will fall short of this mark, making the under a savvy play as we approach tip-off.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding prowess. While he's a solid player, recent trends suggest we should take the under on his 10.5 rebounds. Over his last five outings, Diabate has averaged around 8.6 boards, and when playing away, that number dips to 8. He has faced the Magic before, grabbing just 7 rebounds on average against them.Moreover, his recent form shows he's hit the under in five of his last six contests, and he's been especially effective on the road, hitting the under in all three of his last away games. The matchup against Orlando, who typically limits second-chance opportunities, adds another layer of caution. With an expected stat value of just 7.88, it feels like a smart play to bank on Diabate staying under 10.5 rebounds.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Lakers' clash with the Rockets, targeting LeBron James for under 34.5 points and assists feels like a savvy play. Yes, LeBron is a superstar, but his recent form has seen him averaging just 23 points and 9.2 assists over the last five games. Even at home, where he typically thrives, those averages dip to 19 points and 8.8 assists. Against Houston, he's found success with around 20.2 points and 5.8 assists over their last encounters, but don't be fooled by past numbers; his home output against them is only marginally better at 26.6 points and 7.4 assists. With a remarkable hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 games for this line, and 11 of the last 12 at home, it's clear that LeBron might be primed for a quieter day. Sometimes, the star shines a little less brightly,

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Ayo Dosunmu, the numbers tell a compelling story. As he gears up to face the Denver Nuggets on the road, he's riding a wave of impressive performances. Over his last five games, he's averaged 17.8 points and 3.8 rebounds, but what's even more striking is his away form-19 points and six rebounds per game. That's a solid foundation for our bet on him going over 14.5 for points and rebounds combined.Let's not forget that Dosunmu has been on fire against the Timberwolves, with an average of 12.8 points in recent clashes. Given he's hit the over in all 13 of his last outings, including nine straight away games, confidence is high. With an expected stat value of 20.57, it's clear he's primed to exceed expectations. Betting on him to clear that 14.5 mark feels like a smart play as he steps onto the court

Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors) Under 6.5 Assists (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Warriors head to Phoenix, Draymond Green's playmaking prowess faces a stiff challenge, making the under on his assists a compelling wager. While he's averaged a solid 8 assists over his last five games, those numbers have been buoyed by home cooking; on the road, he's more modest, clocking in at just 6.6 assists per game. The matchup against the Suns, a team that's adept at stifling ball movement, has seen Draymond dish out a mere 3.4 assists in their previous encounters. With the Warriors needing to rely more on scoring from their stars, expect Green to find himself more focused on defense and less on facilitating. The trends aren't in his favor, either - hitting the under in 5 of his last 7 away games. Given the stakes and the Suns' defensive capabilities, taking the under on Green's assists at 6.5 feels like a savvy play.
