Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans, targeting the under on Karl-Anthony Towns' rebounds at 12.5 seems wise. While Towns has had flashes of brilliance, his recent performance paints a different picture. Over his last five games, he's averaging 12.2 boards overall, dipping to just 10 at home against this opponent. The Pelicans aren't exactly pushovers, but they've limited Towns to an average of 11.8 rebounds in their recent matchups. Plus, his last three home games reflected a pattern of only hitting this mark twice. With an expected stat value of 11.61 and a solid hit rate of 4 out of 6, it's clear that the under is not just a hunch; it's grounded in solid numbers. Expect him to find himself just shy of that 12.5 threshold as the Knicks look to control the boards in this pivotal matchup.
