As Tobias Harris steps onto the court for the Pistons' matchup against the Pelicans, all eyes should be on his three-point shooting, particularly when it comes to the under on 1.5 threes made. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 1.2 threes overall, and that number dips to 1.0 at home against New Orleans, a team he historically struggles against from beyond the arc. In fact, Harris has only hit more than one three against the Pelicans at home once in his last five encounters with them. His recent form shows he's been consistent, hitting 12 out of 15, but with the Pelicans' defense tightening around the perimeter, this might be the perfect storm to bet against him exceeding that mark. Expect the Pistons to lean on other scorers, limiting Harris's opportunities from deep. The under feels like a wise play here.
Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-145)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, Jalen Duren's rebounding numbers present a compelling case for taking the under on 12.5 boards. While Duren has shown flashes of brilliance in his rookie season, averaging around 10.89 rebounds, the matchup against the Pelicans could make it tough for him to hit that mark. In his last five games, he's managed to go under this line consistently, showcasing a hit rate of 100%. At home, though he's been solid, he's only cleared this number in three of his last four games. The Pelicans present a unique challenge with their size and athleticism, which often limits second-chance opportunities. Plus, with an implied probability of 59.2% leaning towards the under, it seems like a savvy bet. Expect Duren to battle hard, but don't be surprised if he winds up shy of that 12.5 threshold.
Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+108)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, targeting Daniss Jenkins for under 1.5 made threes feels like a savvy play. Jenkins has been a bit of a mixed bag from beyond the arc lately, having hit just 16 out of 19 attempts overall, but when we narrow it down to his last eight games at home, he's only converted seven times. That's an encouraging trend for those looking to take the under. Moreover, Jenkins has an expected stat value of just 1.37 for this matchup, indicating he might not be as reliable from deep as some might think. With the Pistons' offense potentially clashing against a Pelicans defense that is adept at closing out on shooters, the environment suggests this could be a night where Jenkins struggles to find his rhythm. Trusting the under on his threes seems like the way to go.
