Cody Williams (Utah Jazz) Under 2.5 Assists (-189)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Utah Jazz prepare to face the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Cody Williams-not for his scoring, but for his playmaking. With an average of just 1 assist over his last five games and a dismal 0.8 at home, the whispers about taking the under on his 2.5 assists are growing louder. Against the Knicks, Williams has not notched a single assist in their last five matchups, making this number feel even more daunting. The Jazz's offensive setup relies on other playmakers, leaving Williams with minimal opportunities to dish out assists. To add to this, he's hit the under in 11 consecutive outings, including five straight at home. With an implied probability of 65.4% for hitting the under, it feels like a prudent move to back the trend and anticipate another quiet night for Williams in the assist column.

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Over 32.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Knicks face off against the Jazz, all eyes should be on Karl-Anthony Towns, especially with his current form. Averaging an impressive 22.8 points and 12.2 rebounds over his last five games, his contributions have been vital. But what's even more striking is his recent success against the Knicks-he's been a force, averaging 26.2 points and 12.6 rebounds in their previous matchups. On the road, Towns has stepped it up, with 22 points and 13.2 boards in his last five away games. With a perfect hit rate in his last four outings and a consistent ability to surpass the 32.5 mark, it's hard to overlook his potential tonight. His expected stat value of 35.32 indicates a strong likelihood of hitting that over. As he squares up against a Jazz squad that can be vulnerable under the basket, I'm betting Towns delivers big on Thursday.

Keyonte George (Utah Jazz) Over 2.5 Rebounds (-161)

As the Utah Jazz host the New York Knicks, all eyes should be on Keyonte George for a solid play on his rebounds, especially with that tempting line set at just 2.5. Playing at home, George has shown impressive consistency, averaging 2.8 boards over his last five games in front of the Jazz faithful. But here's where it gets even more compelling: he's snagged 15 rebounds in 17 opportunities recently, showcasing a remarkable hit rate that emphasizes his readiness to contribute on the glass.The Knicks, known to struggle against rebounding guards, could play right into George's hands. In home matchups against New York, he's averaged 2 boards, but with his current form, it's reasonable to expect an uptick tonight. With an expected stat value of 3.75, it feels like a no-brainer to back George to clear that low bar of 2.5 rebounds.
