Onyeka Okongwu Over 10.5 Rebounds

Onyeka Okongwu has been a significant presence for the Atlanta Hawks during the 2024–25 NBA season, particularly in rebounding. Over 60 games, including 26 starts, he has averaged 8.5 rebounds per game while playing 26.6 minutes per contest. His rebounding efforts are balanced between the defensive and offensive ends, with 5.4 defensive rebounds and 3.1 offensive rebounds per game. Okongwu has secured 10+ rebounds in 7 of his last 9 games and is coming off a game where he had 15 rebounds against the Nets. He has a favorable matchup in this one going against the Hornets who are giving up 54.5 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is the 3rd most in the league. Okongwu should have another nice night on the glass.

Trae Young Over 10.5 Assists

Trae Young has been a pivotal playmaker for the Atlanta Hawks during the 2024–25 NBA season. Over 63 games, he leads the league with an average of 11.5 assists per game. His assist-to-turnover ratio stands at approximately 2.4, with 11.5 assists against 4.8 turnovers per game. In a recent performance on March 16, 2025, Young recorded a double-double with 28 points and 12 assists against the Brooklyn Nets. Earlier, on March 13, 2025, he contributed another double-double with 35 points and 12 assists in a victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets are giving up 29 assists per game to opposing teams which is the 4th most in the league. 

Miles Bridges Over 2.5 Three Pointers

Miles Bridges of the Charlotte Hornets has played 52 games during the 2024-25 NBA season. His three-point shooting statistics show that he is making 33.2% of his shots from beyond the arc, averaging 2.3 makes on 7.1 attempts per game. The last time Bridges played the Hawks we saw him drain 5 three-pointers. The Hawks have been awful defending the perimeter this season and they give up a ton of 3PTs. Atlanta is giving up 14.2 three-pointers per game to opposing teams which is the 5th most in the league. I expect Bridges to have another solid night from beyond the arc in this one.
