While Johnson has been a solid contributor lately, averaging 11.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists over his last five games, his performance on the road paints a different picture. He's managed only 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists away from home in that span, which drops his contributions against the Knicks' robust defense.They've stymied opponents, and historically, Johnson's numbers against them reflect that challenge, with averages of 9.8 rebounds and 6 assists away. Plus, he's hit the under in 8 of his last 9 road games, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. With an expected stat value of just 14.33, this bet feels like a wise wager against a formidable Knicks squad.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, all eyes should be on Jalen Johnson's rebounding numbers. While he's shown a solid average of 11.2 boards over his last five games, context is key here. On the road, his production dips to 10, and historically against the Knicks, he averages just 9.8 rebounds as a visitor. With New York boasting a stingy defense, especially in the paint, Johnson could find it tough to match that 13.5 mark. He's hit the under in 11 of his last 12 away games, revealing a trend that's hard to overlook. Plus, with the Knicks' rebounding prowess, this matchup seems tailor-made for him to fall short. Expect Johnson to struggle to surpass the 13.5 threshold, making the under an appealing play in this setting.

When the New York Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes will be on Mitchell Robinson, but let's not get swept up in the hype. At first glance, his recent performances might suggest a strong rebounder, but a deeper dive into the numbers reveals a different story. Robinson has averaged just 7.8 rebounds over his last five games, and while he's been slightly more productive at home, posting 8.8, that's still well shy of the 12.5 mark we're targeting. Historically, he's faced the Hawks with an average of 9 rebounds at Madison Square Garden, and that's telling. The Hawks aren't an easy team to dominate on the boards, and Robinson's hit rate over his last 12 home games shows he's consistently falling short of that threshold. With an expected stat value of just 8.8, the under 12.5 feels like a safe bet in this matchup.
