When the Atlanta Hawks host the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but the smart play here is to bet on him landing under 10.5 rebounds. Sure, he's been solid, averaging 10 boards in his last five games, but let's dig a little deeper. Against the Grizzlies, he's only managed 5.5 rebounds at home during their recent matchups, which suggests that Memphis knows how to box him out effectively. Even more telling is his recent form, where he's hit this under in 8 of his last 10 games, showing a trend that's hard to overlook. With the Hawks focusing on their perimeter game, Johnson's rebounding opportunities may dwindle, especially if the Grizzlies can stretch the floor. At home, where he's slightly better but still just above the mark, I see him falling short of that 10.5 threshold. This could be a smart play for your betting slip.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper's rebounding numbers suggest a compelling case for the Under 5.5 in his matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Traveling with the Memphis Grizzlies, Prosper has averaged just 4.2 boards on the road in his last five games, a figure that falls short of tonight's mark. When facing the Hawks, he's managed only 1 rebound per game over his last five encounters, a stark contrast to what's needed here.Digging deeper, his overall rebounding rate has dipped significantly, hitting the Under in 13 of his last 19 games. With Prosper's current form and the pressure of playing in a hostile environment, it's tough to imagine him suddenly breaking out against a Hawks team that boxes out well. At an expected value of just 4.67, the odds favor a quiet night on the boards for Prosper.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-128)

As Olivier-Maxence Prosper takes the court against the Atlanta Hawks, the smart money is leaning towards the under on his threes made. While he's had a respectable average of 1.8 threes in his last five games, it's important to note his struggles against the Grizzlies, where he's yet to sink a single three-pointer in two matchups this season. Playing away can add pressure, and Prosper's average drops to 1.6 threes made. With the Hawks likely tightening their perimeter defense, he may find it tough to get open looks. His recent performance shows he's only hit the mark in three of his last four games, and given the context, it's a solid play to expect him to stay under 1.5 threes tonight. The numbers suggest this could be a game where he plays it safe rather than shooting lights out.
