Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jalen Johnson presents an intriguing player prop opportunity. While his recent performance has been solid, averaging 10.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists over his last five games, the numbers tell a different story in away matchups. Specifically, on the road, his stats dip to 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists. Against Cleveland, he's averaged just 7.7 boards and 4.3 assists in his last five encounters. With the Cavaliers' stout defense, Johnson might find it challenging to reach that 17.5 threshold. Given that he's hit the Under in five of his last six games and the overall expectation for him sits at just 14.65 combined, it seems prudent to lean towards the Under here. The odds are in our favor, suggesting he might fall short of those lofty totals in this tough road matchup.

Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Over 24.5 Points (-115)

Donovan Mitchell is primed for a big night against the Atlanta Hawks, and the Over on 24.5 points feels like a smart play. As the Cavaliers' offensive centerpiece, Mitchell thrives at home, averaging an impressive 28 points over his last five games in Cleveland. Not only is he a scoring machine, but he's also upped his game against the Hawks, averaging nearly 30.6 points per matchup at home against them. With a strong hit rate of 4 out of his last 5 home games, it's clear he's found his rhythm on this court. Plus, considering he's cleared this mark in six of his last eight games overall, the stars seem to align for another explosive performance. Expect Mitchell to light it up, especially as he looks to cement the Cavaliers' position in the standings. Betting the Over on his points is a play rooted in solid trends and an electrifying home atmosphere.
