As the Knicks get set to host the Hawks, all eyes should be on Landry Shamet, especially for that points and rebounds prop over 6.5. Shamet has been a reliable contributor lately, hitting this mark 13 times in his last 17 games. The trend is even stronger at home, where he's gone over in all of his last 12 appearances, averaging nearly 7 points against Atlanta in their recent matchups. While his overall stats show he's been hovering around 6.6 points and 1.4 rebounds, there's something about the Madison Square Garden atmosphere that brings out the best in him. With the Knicks looking to secure a vital win, expect Shamet to step up, particularly given his expected stat value of 10.73. The Hawks will need to keep an eye on him, but if history tells us anything, he's poised to exceed that 6.5 threshold comfortably.

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, particularly when it comes to his rebounding numbers. While he has been pulling down an impressive average of 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, the nuances of playing away from home tell a different story. On the road, his average slips to 10 rebounds per game, and against the Knicks specifically, that number dips even lower to 9.8. With the Knicks boasting a strong defensive front, they've been limiting opponents' second-chance opportunities, which could stifle Johnson's rebounding impact. Given that he has hit the Under on his rebounding prop in 5 of his last 9 away games, it seems prudent to lean towards the Under 10.5. The stats suggest a tighter contest in the paint, making this a promising angle for bettors looking for value.
