Evan Fournier Under 13.5 Points (-115, DraftKings)

Evan Fournier has been one of many moving parts in the Knicks’ lineup rotation this season. While he has exceeded 30 minutes twice in the last six games, he has also fallen short of 25 minutes twice in that same span. Over the Knicks’ last 10 games, Tom Thibodeau doesn’t seem to be in any rush to give Fournier much extended run. This component, along with a matchup tonight against the Bulls’ top-10 scoring defense, are both reasons to look under on Fournier’s point total of 13.5.

Awesemo’s projections expect Fournier to score exactly 12.1 in tonight’s game. While this is 1 point more than his season scoring average to date, it remains comfortably below the NBA betting player props line. Bettors should be careful to check in with OddsShopper for the best odds. At the time of writing, discrepancies of up to 12 cents in value exist throughout the market.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 6.5 Rebounds (-150, PointsBet)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may be the centerpiece of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s ongoing rebuild, but rebounding is not the focal point of his own individual game. Gilgeous-Alexander enters Thursday averaging 5.1 rebounds per game on the season. While he has exceeded that mark four times in his last eight games played, only two of those occasions have seen him eclipse tonight’s NBA player props total of 6.5.

OddsShopper shows that the majority of the NBA betting marke lists Gilgeous-Alexander’s rebound total closer to his season average at 5.5. Awesemo’s projections advise bettors to capitalize on this line variation. Despite extra juice required to play under 6.5 total rebounds, the -150 odds fail to prevent this under prediction from carrying a positive expected ROI of 21%. With a projection of exactly 5.31 boards for Gilgeous-Alexander tonight, Awesemo gives the under a 73% chance of cashing.

Cameron Johnson Over 4.5 Rebounds (+125, SugarHouse)

With the announcement that the Suns will proceed cautiously with Devin Booker‘s minor injury, other backcourt players will be called upon to step up. Cameron Johnson might be in the best position of the bunch to do so. Many believe he will get the starting nod in tonight’s game and for however long Booker’s absence lasts. He went well over his season average of 22.4 minutes on Tuesday, scoring 14 points and grabbing four boards over 29 minutes of action. Awesemo’s NBA player props projections believe that the current situation in Phoenix lends a positive betting opportunity on Johnson to go over 4.5 rebounds in tonight’s matchup.

Given that he has averaged 3.2 rebounds per game this season, an additional 5-8 minutes of playing time might be all Johnson needs to get over the NBA betting line of 4.5. Awesemo projects him for exactly 4.84 and gives this over prediction an expected ROI of 19%.
