<h3><strong>Wendell Carter Jr. Under 10.5 Points (-113)</strong></h3>
<p data-start="127" data-end="471">This will be the fourth time Wendell Carter Jr. has faced the Knicks this season. In the first matchup back on November 12, he scored 13 points, followed by an 11-point outing in their second meeting. His most recent game against New York came just a week ago &#8211; and it was his worst performance yet, finishing with eight points on 25% shooting.</p>
<p data-start="473" data-end="547">I’m expecting, and hoping, for a similar result this time around.</p>
<p data-start="549" data-end="914">While this Knicks defense isn’t quite as formidable as it once was, they still have clear strengths — particularly at the rim. New York is limiting opponents to just 63.5% shooting at the basket, which ranks fifth-best in the league. They also rank second in mid-range shot rate allowed (23.6%) and sit 11th in opponent field-goal percentage from that area (42.3%).</p>
<p data-start="916" data-end="1126">That’s notable given Carter takes the majority of his shots at the rim (46%) and is operating with the lowest usage rate of his career at just 14.2%, placing him in the 38th percentile among his position group.</p>

<h3><strong>De&#8217;Aaron Fox Under 5.5 Assists (-120)</strong></h3>
<p data-start="124" data-end="247">It looks like Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama will return to action tonight as San Antonio hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder.</p>
<p data-start="249" data-end="568">Naturally, you’d expect that to benefit a facilitator like De’Aaron Fox. Instead, I view it as a sell opportunity. In the four games Fox has played alongside Wembanyama, he’s averaged 5.8 assists — a figure inflated by one 10-assist performance. Outside of that outing, Fox stayed under 5.5 assists in every other game.</p>
<p data-start="570" data-end="773" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">I’m banking on him staying under once again, especially against the league’s top defense. Oklahoma City ranks first in both points per 100 possessions allowed and effective field-goal percentage allowed.</p>
<h3><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-49437 size-full" src="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jalen-williams-oklahoma-city-thunder-nba-1.jpg" alt="Thunder vs Cavaliers NBA Predictions, Odds, Props &amp; Picks (1/8)" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jalen-williams-oklahoma-city-thunder-nba-1.jpg 1024w, https://wp.bettingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jalen-williams-oklahoma-city-thunder-nba-1-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></h3>
<h3><strong>Jalen Williams Under 5.5 Rebounds (-129)</strong></h3>
<p data-start="113" data-end="423">Our final prop takes us to the glass, where I’m banking on Jalen Williams to grab fewer than six rebounds tonight. The return of Victor Wembanyama to the floor should naturally cap rebounding opportunities across the board, but especially for someone like Williams, who isn’t a primary rebounder to begin with.</p>
<p data-start="425" data-end="616" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">On the season, Williams is averaging 5.2 rebounds per game and has stayed under six boards in four of the six games he’s played. Let’s take advantage of this number before the market adjusts.</p>
