Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but betting the Under on his 1.5 threes made could be the savvy play here. Jenkins has been a solid contributor, yet lately, he's found himself on a downward trend. Over his last 20 games, he's hit the mark just 17 times, and his home performance is even more telling-only 8 of his last 9 attempts have seen him hit the two-three threshold. With an expected output closer to 1.2, it appears he's struggling to find his rhythm, especially against a Pelicans defense that can close out effectively on shooters. The implied probability of 48.1% coupled with a model edge of 18.2% strengthens the case for the Under. In this matchup, don't be surprised if Jenkins falls short of 1.5 threes, making this an appealing betting angle.

Derik Queen (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When looking at Derik Queen's matchup against the Detroit Pistons, there's a compelling case for betting the over on his points and rebounds total of 10.5. Over the last 20 games, Queen has consistently delivered, hitting this mark 14 times, and his away performance mirrors that success-also hitting the over 14 out of 20 times. The Pelicans have struggled defensively, particularly against versatile bigs like Queen, who can stretch the floor and crash the boards effectively.With an expected stat value of 14.02, it's clear that Queen's production is aligned to surpass this threshold. The Pistons' defense, while gritty, may find it tough to contain him, especially with his recent form. Given the odds and his solid hit rate, placing a bet on Queen to go over 10.5 points and rebounds feels like a savvy play. Trust in his ability to capitalize on this opportunity in what should be a competitive matchup.

Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Pelicans roll into Detroit, all eyes should be on Zion Williamson, especially when it comes to his points and rebounds. With an impressive average of 31 points when playing away against this Pistons squad, Zion seems poised to eclipse the 26.5 mark comfortably. His recent form showcases a strong ability to dominate, averaging 21.8 points and 6.4 rebounds in his last five road games. What's particularly compelling is his track record against Detroit: he's not just a scorer; he's a force on the boards too, pulling down an average of 7.5 rebounds in away matchups. With an expected stat value nudging nearly 30, it's hard to ignore the potential for Zion to not just meet but exceed this line. Given his recent success, targeting the Over feels like a savvy bet as he looks to assert his dominance on the court.
