Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Atlanta Hawks take on the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, who's been a vital cog in their machine. However, with a prop line set at 19.5 for rebounds and assists combined, it might be wise to consider the under. Sure, Johnson's been averaging 9.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists over his last five games, showing flashes of brilliance. But at home, his numbers dip slightly, with averages of 10.2 boards and 9.8 assists. Against the Knicks, he's managed just 4.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds in their last few matchups. The numbers suggest he's hit the under in 8 of his last 10 home games, and with an expected stat value of just 14.5, it feels like the under is the prudent play. With an implied probability of 72.5%, it's hard to ignore the signs pointing towards a quieter night

Miles McBride (New York Knicks) Over 6.5 Points (-132)

As the Knicks gear up to take on the Hawks, all eyes should be on Miles McBride, especially with a player prop bet for him to score over 6.5 points.

Historically, he's found success against Atlanta, averaging 8.2 points in recent matchups, including 6 points per game when playing away. What's striking is his recent form: he has hit the over in 14 of his last 16 away games. With an expected stat value of 11.25 and a solid hit rate of 77% over 18 games, it feels like a perfect storm for McBride to shine. The Knicks may lean on him to score in this pivotal game, and betting on the over looks like a savvy move.
