Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (-149)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hawks gear up to face the Mavericks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker might not be your go-to guy for a big all-around performance. In his last five games, he's averaged just 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists, which puts him well below the 7.5 mark we're targeting for the under. When facing the Mavericks specifically, he's recorded just 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists, indicating that this matchup isn't particularly favorable for him. Moreover, Atlanta's home games have seen him dip even lower, averaging 2 rebounds and 2.2 assists. With the Mavericks boasting a solid defense, it's tough to see him breaking through that threshold. Given that he's only gone over this combined total once in his last 17 games, the under looks like a smart play. The numbers, coupled with his recent form, suggest a quiet night for Alexander-Walker.

Devin Vassell (San Antonio Spurs) Over 5.5 Rebounds + Assists (-147)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Devin Vassell is primed for a standout performance against the Boston Celtics, and targeting him for over 5.5 combined rebounds and assists is a savvy play. At home, Vassell has been a force-averaging 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his last five games at the AT&T Center. He's not just filling the stat sheet; he's thriving against tougher competition, posting 4.5 rebounds and 2 assists in recent clashes with the Celtics.With an impressive hit rate of 11 out of the last 13 games, Vassell has been consistently surpassing this threshold, particularly at home where he's hit the mark 90% of the time in his last ten outings. The Spurs will rely on his versatility to navigate Boston's defense, and with an expected stat value of 7.65, it feels like a no-brainer to back Vassell to deliver once again.

Max Christie (Dallas Mavericks) Under 2.5 Assists (-154)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When you're looking at Max Christie's assist numbers for the upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, there's a compelling case for the under on 2.5 assists. Playing away, Christie has averaged just 1 assist in his last five games, a trend that's hard to ignore. His overall assist average sits at 1.6 over his past five, but against the Hawks specifically, he's only managed 1.6 assists-again, that's on home turf, where he typically feels more comfortable.With the Mavericks likely relying on their stars for offensive production, Christie might not have the same opportunities to facilitate. Plus, the fact that he's hit the under in his last six games paints a clear picture: he's been consistently underwhelming in this aspect. Given all this, betting the under feels like the smart move here.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Yes Double-Double (-196)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Spurs host the Celtics, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama as he looks to continue his double-double dominance. Over the past 13 games, he's hit this mark an impressive 12 times, and at home, he's been flawless, cashing in on all six attempts. His recent averages tell the story: 21 points and 12.4 rebounds at home, with his assist game picking up slightly to 3 per game. Against the Celtics, he's found a rhythm too, averaging 21.7 points and 8.3 rebounds in their last few encounters. With the Spurs needing him to anchor the game, it's hard to ignore his ability to deliver in clutch moments. The combination of his home court advantage and consistent performance makes a double-double bet on Wembanyama a compelling choice for Wednesday night's matchup.
