When the New York Knicks host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns, but it might be wise to lean toward the under on his rebound total of 12.5. Despite his impressive stature, Towns has been averaging just 11.61 rebounds lately, particularly against the Pelicans, where he's managed only 10 boards at home in his last matchup. His recent performances show a slight dip, grabbing an average of 12.2 rebounds in his last five games overall and a mere 14 at home. Not to mention, he's hit the under in four out of his last six outings. As the Knicks look to stifle the paint and focus on perimeter defense, Towns may find it tougher to clean the glass. With these trends in mind, betting the under feels like a solid call.
