Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Knicks gear up to face the Hawks at Madison Square Garden, keep an eye on Miles McBride, particularly for the Over on his Points + Rebounds prop at 9.5. McBride has been getting comfortable at home, averaging 10.8 points and 2.6 boards in his last five games at the Garden.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New York Knicks prepare to face off against the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes should be on Mikal Bridges to exceed his points and rebounds total of 17.5. While his recent averages sit at 14.8 points and 2.4 rebounds over the last five games, Bridges has shown he can elevate his game, especially at home. Historically, he's averaged an impressive 22.4 points and 3.6 rebounds against the Hawks when playing in New York. The energy of Madison Square Garden tends to amplify performances, and with Bridges' ability to find shots against Atlanta's defense-where he's clocked in at 16.8 points per game-there's a compelling case for him to break through that 17.5 threshold. His expected stat value of 19.3 hints at an impending breakout, making this a prime opportunity to back Bridges for the over in a game that could easily see him shine.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-385)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hawks gear up to face the Knicks, the spotlight is on Jalen Johnson and his rebounding numbers. While he's been solid overall, averaging 11.2 boards in his last five games, the road seems to bring a different story. On away nights, he dips to an average of just 10 rebounds. When up against the Knicks, who are adept at boxing out and limiting opponents' second-chance opportunities, Johnson's past performances suggest he'll struggle even more. In fact, his average drops to 9.8 rebounds per game in New York. With an impressive hit rate of 8 out of his last 9 games on the road, it's clear he's been less effective outside of Atlanta. This matchup seems ripe for him to fall under the 12.5 mark, making the under a smart play for those looking to capitalize on the numbers.
