Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-130)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings roll into Orlando, Malik Monk's assist numbers tell an intriguing story. Sure, he's been a playmaker lately, averaging 6 assists over his last five games, but let's dig deeper. When you look specifically at his away performance, that average drops to around 4.6. Against this Magic squad, he's managed just 4.2 assists in their recent matchups, and even less-only 3.5-when playing in Orlando. With Monk's assist rate hitting under 5.5 in 17 of his last 20 away games, it's clear that the road environment can stifle his playmaking. Plus, the Kings have a tendency to score more than they assist in away matchups, making it even tougher for Monk to rack up those dimes. So, going under 5.5 assists here feels like a smart bet, especially with the implied probability suggesting a solid edge in our favor.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 18.5 Points + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Devin Carter, but not for the reasons you might think. Carter has struggled to find his rhythm on the road, averaging just 11.6 points and 3.2 assists in his last five away games. Against the Magic, his numbers dip even further-he's averaging a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 assists in their recent matchups, and shockingly, he hasn't scored a single point when playing in Orlando lately.With a hit rate of just 14 out of his last 20 games and a dismal 0 in points against the Magic away, it's clear that Carter's production is likely to fall under the 18.5 mark. With these trends in mind, betting the under feels like a savvy play as the Kings look to find their footing on the road.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (+102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons host the New Orleans Pelicans, eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but betting on him to fall short of 7.5 assists makes a lot of sense. Jenkins has been on a remarkable run, but let's dig deeper. Over his last 20 games, he's only surpassed this mark four times, hitting the under a staggering 80% of the time. At home, he's even more restrained, with a hit rate of just 4% on this prop in his last 17 appearances. Given the Pelicans' defense, which has been particularly stingy against playmakers, Jenkins may find it tough to set up his teammates effectively. The expected stat value of just 5.39 assists further supports this notion. With these trends in mind, targeting the under feels like a savvy play as Jenkins aims to navigate a challenging matchup.
