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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Daniss Jenkins, the numbers suggest a strong case for taking the under on 1.5 threes made against the New Orleans Pelicans. Playing at home, he's been on a roll lately, but the matchup presents some interesting challenges. Over the last 20 games, he's only hit this mark 17 times, which shows he's been more selective in his shooting. At home, Jenkins has been particularly cautious, hitting just 8 of his last 9 attempts. The Pistons' offensive scheme tends to rely on ball movement rather than heavy reliance on the three-pointer, limiting Jenkins' opportunities. Plus, the Pelicans are known for their strong perimeter defense, which could further stifle his chances. With an expected stat value of only 1.2 and an implied probability suggesting just under a coin flip for hitting the over, it feels prudent to lean toward the under in this home matchup.

Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-167)

When the New Orleans Pelicans roll into Detroit, all eyes should be on Zion Williamson to dominate the stat sheet. With an average of 31 points on the road against this Pistons team, it's clear that Zion thrives when the spotlight is on him away from home. In fact, he's been on an absolute tear, hitting the Over 24.5 points and rebounds in 8 of his last 11 games, including a perfect 5 for 5 during this current road stretch.What's particularly striking is his recent performance against Detroit; not only does he average 26.2 points against them, but his rebounding also steps up to around 7.5 boards on the road. Given these numbers and the overall expected stat value sitting around 29.83, betting on Zion to eclipse that 24.5 mark seems not just reasonable, but almost like a foregone conclusion. Buckle up; this could be a big night for Zion.

As the Pistons gear up to face the Pelicans, all eyes should be on Derik Queen as he looks to capitalize on a favorable matchup. Averaging more than 14 points and rebounds combined over his last 20 games, it's clear he's been on a roll, hitting the Over 70% of the time. This away game shouldn't faze him; in fact, he's shown an uncanny ability to thrive in hostile environments, hitting the Over in all 20 of his recent away contests.The Pelicans are vulnerable inside, especially against athletic bigs, and Queen's versatility allows him to exploit those mismatches. With an expected stat value of 14.02, the Over on 10.5 feels like a smart play. As he continues to carve out his role, look for Queen to not just meet but exceed expectations in this pivotal matchup.
