When looking at John Konchar's recent performances, it's hard to see him breaking the 10.5 mark in points and rebounds against the Knicks. Over his last five games, he's averaged a mere 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence. His away stats are even more concerning, showing just 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds. The match-up against New York isn't favorable either; he typically scores just 5.4 points against them, while the Knicks have limited opponents to an average of only 4 points in those same situations. With an overall hit rate of 10 for 10 on this under, and particularly strong performance in away games where he's hit it 8 for 8, this is a wise play. Konchar's recent trend suggests he'll struggle once again, making the under a compelling choice for this matchup.

As the Utah Jazz gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Cody Williams, particularly when it comes to his assist production. The numbers tell a compelling story-averaging just 1 assist in his last five games, and even less at home with a mere 0.8 per contest, it's clear he hasn't been a playmaker lately. Against the Knicks, he hasn't registered a single assist in their last five meetings, both overall and at home. Given these trends, betting on Williams to stay under 2.5 assists feels like a savvy move. He's hit this under in all 11 of his last outings, and at home, he's perfect in that span. With an implied probability of 65.4%, the odds suggest that history is likely to repeat itself. It's hard to envision him breaking through against a Knicks team that's maintained a strong defensive posture.
Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Over 32.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
When you look at Karl-Anthony Towns, his recent form paints an exciting picture for this matchup against the Utah Jazz. Averaging 22.8 points and 12.2 rebounds over his last five games, he's been a force, especially away from home where he bumps those averages to 22 points and 13.2 rebounds. Against the Jazz, he's historically stepped up, netting an impressive 26.2 points per game in recent encounters. His last four outings have all seen him eclipse the 32.5 mark for points plus rebounds, and he's a perfect 3-for-3 in away games. With a solid expected stat value of 35.32, it's hard to ignore the strength of his performance lately. Towns seems primed to continue that momentum, making the Over on 32.5 a compelling play as he takes on a Jazz team looking to contain him.
Keyonte George (Utah Jazz) Over 2.5 Rebounds (-161)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
When the Utah Jazz host the New York Knicks, all eyes should be on Keyonte George and his ability to snag boards. With an average of 3.2 rebounds over his last five games, George has been a consistent force on the glass, particularly at home where he's pulling down about 2.8 boards per game. What's truly impressive is his hit rate; he's grabbed over 2.5 rebounds in 15 of his last 17 games. The Knicks, while tough defensively, allow a decent number of rebounds, and George's familiarity with the home court could give him that extra edge. Facing a team he's averaged 2 rebounds against at home, it's clear he steps up when it counts. With an expected stat value of 3.75 and the Jazz's need for contributions all around, the Over 2.5 rebounds for George feels like a solid play here.
