The Hawks and Pelicans are going head-to-head in Atlanta on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Hawks are a 10-point favorite and this game carries a total of 229.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Jalen Johnson prop to consider from this contest.
Best Jalen Johnson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jalen Johnson O 4.5 assists (-120)
Johnson is having a career season and one part of his game that is flying under the radar is his play making. Johnson is averaging 5.5 assists per game with a 22.6% assist percentage, both of which rank second for the Hawks, only trailing Trae Young, who is the NBA’s assist leader this season.
Furthermore, Johnson is averaging a robust 10.6 potential assists per game, which ranks ninth among all forwards. The 22-year-old has recorded at least five assists in 55% of his starts this season, including an eight-assist showing against the same Pelicans team Johnson is facing tonight.
Not only does New Orleans rank 27th in defensive efficiency, but they are also playing their second game in two nights. The Hawks carry a huge implied team total of 119.5 points on the DraftKings Sportsbook and Johnson is a terrific bet to top 4.5 assists in this elite spot.
