Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 21.5 Points + Assists (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to host the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins. While he's shown flashes of brilliance this season, a closer look at his recent performances suggests we might want to lean toward the under on his points plus assists total of 21.5. Jenkins has had a remarkable run lately, hitting the under in 19 of his last 20 home games, which is no small feat. The Pistons' offensive strategy often relies on team ball, limiting individual output, and Jenkins, while talented, has typically seen his contributions hover around the 13.89 expected stat value. With the Lakers bringing their defensive prowess into the mix, it's reasonable to expect Jenkins to struggle to exceed that 21.5 mark tonight. Given his overall hit rate of 18 out of 20, this feels like a solid play as he navigates the challenges of a tough matchup.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies, targeting Jalen Johnson for under 17.5 rebounds and assists could be a savvy move. Despite his solid averages of 10 rebounds and 9.2 assists over the last five games, recent matchups against Memphis suggest a different story. At home, Johnson's numbers drop slightly, with only 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists against the Grizzlies-a team that has a knack for stifling his contributions. With a recent overall hit rate of 7 out of 11 on this prop, the odds are favoring the under. Additionally, considering his expected stat value sits at just 14.22, this bet highlights a potential misalignment with the market. Given the stakes and Johnson's past performances at home, it seems wise to lean towards the under in this matchup.

Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls) Under 9.5 Assists (+101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago Bulls prepare to face the Houston Rockets, eyes will be on Josh Giddey, but we're leaning towards the under on his assists prop set at 9.5. While Giddey has dazzled with an average of 12 assists over his last five games, a closer look reveals that he typically struggles against the Rockets, averaging only 4.8 assists in their last encounters. Even at home, where he's more comfortable with a solid 10.8 average, he's only managed 5.8 assists against Houston.With the Bulls potentially focusing on scoring against a youthful Rockets squad, Giddey might find himself distributing less than usual. Historically, he's hit the under in 8 of his last 11 home games, which gives us further reason to expect a dip in his playmaking tonight. In a matchup like this, I'm confident Giddey will fall short of that 9.5 mark.
