When you look at Cody Williams' recent performances, the case for betting the under on his assists prop feels compelling. At home against the Knicks, he hasn't recorded an assist in their last five matchups, and his overall numbers aren't promising either, averaging just 1 assist across his last five games. The Jazz will be relying heavily on their established scorers, which means Williams might not find many opportunities to dish out dimes. With him consistently hitting the under in this category-11 straight games-it's clear that he's not being utilized as a playmaker. Against a Knicks team that's known for their defensive prowess, especially against guards, the odds seem stacked against him reaching even 2 assists. At -196, this feels like a solid play, especially considering the implied probability of 66.2%. Embrace the under for Cody Williams; it's a bet backed by a solid trend.
Keyonte George (Utah Jazz) Over 2.5 Rebounds (-161)

Keyonte George has been quietly making a name for himself this season, and Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks presents an excellent opportunity for him to shine on the boards. Playing at home, George has averaged a solid 2.8 rebounds over his last five games, but what really stands out is his remarkable hit rate-he's gone over 2.5 rebounds in 15 of his last 17 games overall. Against the Knicks, who tend to struggle with perimeter players crashing the glass, he's averaged 2 rebounds at home in their last encounters. With an expected stat value of 3.75, the numbers suggest he's more than capable of exceeding the 2.5 mark. Given his confidence at home and the Jazz's need for contributions from their young stars, taking the over feels like a smart move. George is primed to deliver when it counts.
