Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-145)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to face the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Jalen Duren, but a closer look at the matchup suggests taking the under on his rebounding total of 12.5 might be the move. Sure, he's been a solid presence on the boards, but recent trends tell a different story. In his last five games, Duren has hit this mark, but only a few times has he eclipsed it at home-3 out of 4, to be precise. The Pelicans, meanwhile, have been surprisingly stingy on the glass, allowing fewer rebounds overall, and with Duren's expected stat value sitting around 10.89, there's a clear pathway for him to fall short. Given the matchups and his current form, it looks like the under is the smart play here.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When considering a bet on Daniss Jenkins to fall under 1.5 threes made against the New Orleans Pelicans, the numbers tell an intriguing story. At home, Jenkins has been particularly selective, hitting only 7 of his last 8 games. His overall hit rate of 16 out of the last 19 is impressive, yet this context shows a tendency to dial back his shooting in crucial moments. The Pistons' offense can be unpredictable, and with Detroit's focus on driving to the basket, Jenkins might not get the volume of attempts needed to clear the threshold. His expected value sits at just 1.37 threes, meaning the under looks tempting. The Pelicans' strong perimeter defense can stifle opposing shooters, further raising the odds that Jenkins will stay below that 1.5 mark. All things considered, betting the under feels like a wise move in this matchup.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 3.5 Rebounds (+100)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons prepare to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Daniss Jenkins and his rebounding performance. While he's shown flashes of talent, targeting the under on his rebounds feels like the smart play here. Jenkins has only managed to clear the 3.5 mark consistently, hitting that threshold in just 4 of his last 19 games-a rather stark 21% hit rate.At home, it's a different story; he's actually gone under in 10 of his last 15 games, reinforcing the trend that Jenkins struggles to rack up boards, especially against teams like the Pelicans, who have a solid frontcourt. With an expected stat value of just 2.88, the numbers suggest he'll likely fall short once again. In a game where every possession counts, don't be surprised if Jenkins's rebounding stays below that crucial mark.
