As the Knicks prepare to host the Hawks, all eyes should be on Landry Shamet for an intriguing player prop bet on his points and rebounds combined. With a line set at just 6.5, Shamet has been on fire, hitting the over in 13 of his last 17 games, and he's perfect at home in his last 12 appearances. In fact, when playing at Madison Square Garden, he's averaged 7 points against Atlanta, and that familiarity could spell success. Shamet's recent form shows he's primed for a breakout; he's averaging 6.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in his last five games overall. The numbers indicate he's likely to surpass that 6.5 threshold, especially given the Hawks' defensive lapses. With a solid 55.9% implied probability, it feels like a sound play to back Shamet to shine in front of the home crowd.

As the Hawks gear up to face the Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but here's why we're looking at the Under 10.5 rebounds for him. Despite his impressive average of 11.2 rebounds over the last five games, the context matters. In away games, he's only pulled down 10 boards on average. The Knicks, with their tough defensive front, pose a significant challenge. Historically, Johnson has averaged just 9.8 rebounds against them when playing away, a concerning trend that hints at a potential struggle tonight. Moreover, his hit rate on the road stands at just 5 out of his last 9 games. With an expected stat value of 9.28, it feels prudent to back the Under. The Knicks will be looking to control the glass, and Johnson might find himself outmatched in this high-stakes matchup.
