Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Dejounte Murray is poised for a standout performance against the New York Knicks, and targeting him for over 21.5 points and rebounds makes all the sense in the world. He's been a consistent presence lately, racking up an average of 22 points and 5 rebounds over his last five games. When you look at his away performances, he's slightly elevated his game, averaging nearly 20 points and over 6 rebounds in those matchups.What's particularly telling is his recent success against the Pelicans; he's averaged 18.6 points and a solid 5 rebounds when playing them on the road. With a hit rate of 75% across his last eight outings and a perfect 100% in his last four away games, it feels like the stars are aligning. As he steps onto the court, expect Murray to exceed that 21.5 mark with a fire in his belly-this matchup plays right into his hands.

Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Karl-Anthony Towns steps onto the court against the New Orleans Pelicans, the spotlight shines on his rebounding prowess. However, tonight, we're leaning towards the Under 12.5 rebounds. Over his last five outings, Towns has averaged 12.2 rebounds, a solid number but slightly inflated when you consider his home performance against this particular opponent-he's only pulled down 10 rebounds per game in their last matchups at home. Moreover, the Knicks have been a disciplined defensive unit, often limiting second-chance opportunities. Towns' recent home hit rate of 2 out of 3 further supports our case; he's been just shy of that 12.5 mark in these recent games. With an expected stat value of 11.61 and an overall hit rate of 4 out of 6 in his last six games, this trend points to a strong likelihood that we'll see him held under tonight.
