As we gear up for the clash between the Knicks and Pelicans, Dejounte Murray stands out as a prime candidate for the over on points and rebounds set at 19.5. His recent form is nothing short of impressive-averaging 22 points and 5 rebounds over his last five outings. When you look at his performances on the road, he's been even more potent, with averages of nearly 20 points and 6.2 rebounds. Against the Pelicans specifically, Murray has been solid, posting 18.6 points and 5 boards when playing away. His overall hit rate is staggering; he's gone over this line in 8 of his last 9 games, and when on the road, he hasn't missed a beat, hitting his prop in all 11 recent away games. With the Knicks' defensive focus likely on other stars, expect Murray to capitalize on this opportunity and exceed the 19.5 mark comfortably.

Jeremiah Fears is poised for a standout performance in the upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. With an impressive recent track record, hitting the points and rebounds mark in 4 out of his last 5 games, he's riding a wave of form that's hard to ignore. Fears has been especially effective on the road, surpassing the combined 9.5 points and rebounds in 15 of his last 20 away games. This consistency is a testament to his adaptability and resilience, especially against a Knicks squad that can be vulnerable on the boards. Expect Fears to capitalize on opportunities, as he's projected to accumulate around 14.29 combined points and rebounds. With a solid implied probability of 59.2% and a model edge suggesting he's due for a big night, placing your bet on the over for Fears feels like a savvy move. Keep an eye on this emerging talent; he's ready to shine.

As the New York Knicks gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns, but betting under 12.5 rebounds could be the smart play here. Although Towns has been a rebounding force, averaging 12.2 boards over his last five games, his numbers dip when facing the Pelicans, with just 10 rebounds at home in their last matchup. Home games often inflate stats, yet Towns has only managed to exceed this mark twice in his last three home appearances. With an expected stat value of 11.61, it's clear the odds are slightly leaning toward the under. Given that he's hit under this total in four of his last six games, there's a compelling case to believe he'll find it tough to crack that 12.5 threshold against a New Orleans team that can box out effectively. So, let's roll with the under and watch the rebounds unfold.
