As we gear up for the matchup between the Utah Jazz and New York Knicks, targeting John Konchar for under 10.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart move. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds, which paints a clear picture of his reduced impact on the court lately. On the road, those numbers dip even further, with averages of 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds. When facing the Knicks, Konchar has found scoring tough, averaging only 5.4 points, and the Knicks' defense has a knack for limiting opponents, as shown by their average of just 4 rebounds against them at home. With an impressive hit rate of 10 for 10 in his last ten games, the trend is unmistakable. It's safe to say that with the current form and matchup dynamics, the under seems like a solid choice.

As the Cleveland Cavaliers roll into Orlando, all eyes will be on Donovan Mitchell, but a closer look at the stats suggests he might just fall short of the 28.5-point mark. Yes, he's been electric lately, averaging 34.2 points over his last five games. However, when we zoom in on his away performances, that number plummets to just 19.4. Against the Magic, Mitchell has averaged only 23.4 points when playing on their turf, a stark contrast to his overall numbers. Plus, in his last ten away games, he's only eclipsed that threshold once, hitting the under nine out of ten times. With the Cavaliers facing a scrappy Orlando defense, expect some tough possessions. So, while he's a superstar, betting under 28.5 points on Mitchell feels like the smart play here, given the trends and match specifics.

With a perfect 6-for-6 hit rate in his last games and 5-for-5 away, Walter is clearly in a groove. The Pelicans will need his scoring output, and with an expected value of nearly 10 points, betting the over feels like a no-brainer. As he takes the court at the Scotiabank Arena, look for him to continue his scoring surge and make this prop a winner.

The trend continues with his home game stats, where he's averaged 7.6 points recently-well above the 5.5 line we're eyeing.Ellis has been remarkably consistent, hitting the over in 15 of his last 20 games, and even more impressively at home, where he's connected in 16 of those outings. With the Cavaliers' defense allowing an average of 9.5 points to opponents, this matchup sets the stage perfectly for Ellis to not just meet, but exceed our expectations. Trust the numbers; he's poised to make a splash.

When it comes to Cody Williams in the upcoming matchup against the New York Knicks, we're looking at a compelling case for the under on his assists. At home, Williams has averaged just 0.8 assists in his last five games, and against the Knicks, his numbers drop to a stark zero. That's right-he hasn't dished out a single assist against them at home in recent matchups. With his overall hit rate standing at an impressive 11 out of 11 for the under, it's clear that he's been consistently held back. The Jazz are also likely to lean on other playmakers, limiting Williams' opportunities. Given these trends and the implied probability sitting around 64.5%, the under 2.5 assists seems like a savvy play. Trust the numbers; they tell a story that favors the under in this matchup.
