Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up to face the New York Knicks, eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but a closer look reveals that betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists total of 19.5 might be the smarter move. In his last four games, Johnson has consistently fallen short, hitting the under in all but one contest. While averaging a solid 11.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists overall, his away performances drop to 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists, hinting at a struggle to maintain those numbers outside the friendly confines of Atlanta.Against the Knicks, he's averaged just 9.8 rebounds and 6 assists when playing on the road. With a hit rate of only 75% in his last four away games, it seems safe to expect Johnson to hover around the 14-15 range. Given the stakes and the Knicks' staunch defense, it's hard to envision him surpassing that 19.5 threshold.
