Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons prepare to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but we might want to temper our expectations for his three-point shooting. With an expected stat value of just 1.2 threes made, Jenkins has struggled to find his rhythm from beyond the arc, hitting the under in 17 of his last 20 games. At home, he's even more reliable for under bettors, successfully delivering in 8 of his last 9 contests. The pressure of the game at Little Caesars Arena may not play to his favor, especially against a Pelicans defense that excels at closing out on shooters. With an implied probability of 47.6% suggesting a tighter contest, Jenkins may very well fall short of that 1.5 mark once again. Betting on the under seems like a savvy move in this matchup.

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 11.5 Rebounds (+103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Pistons host the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Jalen Duren, but I'm leaning towards the under on his rebound total of 11.5. Sure, Duren has shown flashes of dominance, but let's not forget that he's been under that mark in five of his last six outings. Playing at home can sometimes skew expectations, yet in his last three games in Detroit, he's only managed to grab 10 boards twice.The Pelicans present a unique challenge with their frontcourt depth, making rebounds tougher to come by. With an expected value hovering around 10.87, it feels like Duren might just fall short of that 11.5 threshold. Plus, with an implied probability of just under 50%, it's a calculated risk. Sometimes, less can be more, and tonight, Duren might be just that-less than 12 boards.
