Mitchell Robinson OVER 9.5 rebounds
With Julius Randle ruled out, all systems go for Mitchell Robinson in the Knicks frontcourt to take this game over. Robinson has stayed on the court against Atlanta this year, averaging 29.2 minutes per game in three meetings against them. To go along with those minutes, he’s averaged 10.7 rebounds and The key has been staying out of foul trouble too, as he’s averaged less than three per contest. That has a lot to do with Clint Capela’s lack of offensive moves.
When you break down Robinson’s splits this year, in the 13 games he’s played 30 minutes, he’s notched 13.5 rebounds/game and in the one, he played 40 minutes he grabbed 17 boards. He’s only played one game without Julius Randle this year and grabbed 12 rebounds. That’s not a reliable sample size, but it’s noteworthy nonetheless.
Bones Hyland OVER 11.5 points
It’s very hard to ignore what Hyland has done for Denver lately. He’s been firmly entrenched in their rotation and has been scoring at will. He’s put up 17+ actual points in four of five games and has scored in double-figures in six straight games.
March hasn’t been the best month for the Clippers in terms of three-point defense. They’re 22nd in defending the three-ball and Hyland has made at least two threes in five straight games and has shot 48.5% over that span.
He’s also averaged 26 minutes over the last five games along with 16.6 points, so this number at 11.5 feels a little too low.
