Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Joel Embiid at home, betting on him to surpass 24.5 points and rebounds feels like a no-brainer. Over his last five games, he's been a scoring machine, averaging 29 points and pulling down about 7.6 boards. Now, consider that he's been even more dominant at home, where his averages shoot up to 34 points and nearly 9.5 rebounds per game.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons host the Atlanta Hawks, keep a keen eye on Daniss Jenkins' assist totals. While he's been solid overall, he's averaged just 7 assists in his last five games. The real kicker, though, is his dismal performance against the Hawks; he's only managed 3.5 assists at home against them in that stretch. With an expected stat value of under five assists, it's clear Jenkins might struggle to reach that 7.5 mark. His recent home performance further bolsters our case, hitting the under in 13 of his last 16 home games. Given that Jenkins has significantly underperformed against this specific opponent, targeting the under seems like a smart play. The matchup dynamics and his recent trends suggest a night where he doesn't quite dish out those assists, making the under a compelling option.

Ace Bailey (Utah Jazz) Under 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Utah Jazz host the Washington Wizards, all eyes will be on Ace Bailey. However, we're looking at the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists total at 32.5. Over his last 20 games, Bailey has hit this mark just 4 times, showcasing a hit rate of 20%. Now, playing at home typically boosts a player's performance, but Bailey's home hit rate is a striking 80%, still underscoring our bet here. His expected stat value rests around 23.46, significantly under our target. And let's not overlook the Wizards' defensive adjustments; they've tightened their grip on opposing scorers, making every point harder to come by. With Bailey's recent form and the matchup at hand, it feels prudent to lean toward the under, as the momentum suggests a quieter night for him on the stat sheet.
