Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hawks gear up to face the Knicks, Jalen Johnson finds himself in a tricky spot for his rebounds and assists prop set at 17.5. While his recent performances show promise, averaging 11.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists overall, the away stats tell a different story. Johnson's numbers dip to 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists on the road, and against the Knicks, he's averaged just 9.8 rebounds and 6 assists in their last five encounters. With an expected stat value of 14.33, it's clear that hitting the over is a tall order, especially considering his hit rate has dipped to 3 out of 4 when traveling. The Knicks' defensive schemes can stifle playmakers, and with Johnson's current trajectory, the under on his combined rebounds and assists looks appealing. This matchup seems poised for him to fall short of that 17.5 mark.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Moussa Diabate is stepping into a challenging matchup against the Orlando Magic, and the numbers suggest he might fall short of the 12.5 rebounds and assists mark. While he's been solid recently, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over the last five games, his performance tends to dip on the road. Specifically, he's averaging just 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists away from home.Against the Magic, history isn't on his side either; in their last five encounters, he's only managed around 7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. This trend continues when he's away, where he averages 10.3 rebounds but only 2 assists against them. With a hit rate of just 3 out of the last 4 games and a recent away performance hitting the under 4 out of 6 times, targeting the under on Diabate feels like a wise play for this matchup.

He's been on fire lately, averaging nearly 18 points and 4 rebounds over his last five games-numbers that rise to 19 points and 6 rebounds when he's on the road.

Facing off against a Timberwolves defense that has struggled to contain versatile guards like him, Dosunmu is poised for a big night.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Rockets, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but betting on him to go under 34.5 combined points and assists feels like a wise move. Sure, he's a legend, but his recent numbers tell a different story. Over the last five games, LeBron has averaged just 23 points and 9.2 assists, significantly below the mark we're targeting. Even at home, his production dips to 19 points and 8.8 assists. Against the Rockets, his averages of 20.2 points and 5.8 assists paint a picture of a player who knows how to distribute rather than dominate. The Lakers will likely lean on their depth in this matchup, and with LeBron hitting the under in 11 of his last 12 home games, it's hard to ignore that trend. Expect a quieter night from King James, making the under a savvy play here.

Sam Merrill (Cleveland Cavaliers) Over 9.5 Points (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers host the Raptors, keep an eye on Sam Merrill, who's poised to exceed the 9.5-point mark. Merrill has been heating up lately, averaging 11 points in his last five home games, and he's clearly found his rhythm in front of the Cleveland crowd. With the Raptors' defense struggling lately, allowing a few shooters to get hot, this could be a prime opportunity for Merrill to capitalize. In fact, he's hit the over in eight of his last 11 outings, showcasing his growing confidence and ability to find the basket. While his average against Toronto has been modest at 8 points, he's shown he can ramp it up when needed, especially at home. With an expected stat value of 14.27, it's hard to ignore the upside here. This matchup has the makings of a breakout performance for Merrill-look for him to shine.
