Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to face the New York Knicks at home, keep an eye on Jalen Johnson's performance, specifically targeting the under on his combined rebounds and assists total of 17.5. While he has been solid lately, averaging 9.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists over his last five games, his numbers drop at home against the Knicks, where he has averaged just 7.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists. Moreover, the Knicks are no slouches defensively, limiting opponents' chances. In their last encounter, Johnson struggled to make an impact with just 12 combined rebounds and assists. Given that his expected output is around 14.53, there's a strong case to believe he might fall short of that 17.5 mark. With a hit rate of just 7 out of 10 at home in similar situations, betting the under seems like the prudent choice here.
