Josh Hart Points Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-125/-105).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The New York Knicks check in as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).
The Pelicans have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (9.2) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
The matchup against the Pelicans may be a tough one for drawing fouls; their opposition have attempted just 20.4 foul shots per game over the last 25 games (4th-least in the NBA).
Favors Under
The New York Knicks check in as the 2nd-lowest scoring offense in the league over the last 25 games while on their home court.
This matchup is a strong one for threes; their opposition have posted the 9th-highest 3-point percentage in the NBA this year (36.1%).
The New York Knicks have played at the 5th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA this year.
The Pelicans have played at the 6th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games, which should reduce possessions for the Knicks.
