Mark Williams Rebounds Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-120/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Mark Williams has posted an impressive 4.1 offensive boards per game this year, a significant increase from his 2.2 offensive boards per game last year.
Relative to last season's 18.7 rate, Mark Williams's playing time has spiked this season to 25.3 minutes per game.
The 3rd-quickest pace-of-play home offense in the NBA this year has been the Charlotte Hornets.
Offensive rebounds preserve possession and result in added chances for scoring and assists, and the Hornets grade out 11thbest in in the league when playing away from home with 13.1 offensive boards per game this year.
While at home, the Knicks have given up the 2nd-least offensive rebounds per game (8.4) in the NBA to their opposition this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The Hornets are expected to see a decline in possessions in this contest from facing the most sluggish pace team in the NBA this year (the New York Knicks).
