Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (-104)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but I'm leaning towards the under on his assists total of 7.5. Jenkins has been on a remarkable run recently, hitting the under in 17 of his last 20 games, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. At home, he's even more impressive, with 13 out of 16 games falling below this number. The Pistons' offense often flows through other contributors, which limits Jenkins' playmaking opportunities. With an expected assists value of just 4.99, we're looking at a significant gap from that 7.5 mark. The Pelicans' defense has also been tightening up, making it tougher for Jenkins to reach those lofty assist numbers. Given these dynamics, betting the under on Jenkins feels like a solid play as he navigates a challenging matchup.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 25.5 Points + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When you look at Daniss Jenkins' recent performances, it's hard not to see the signs pointing toward an Under on his combined points and assists total of 25.5 against the New Orleans Pelicans. At home, Jenkins has been a defensive-minded player, contributing significantly on that end, rather than lighting up the scoreboard. With an overall hit rate of 90% in his last 20 games, and matching that impressive record at home, he's been a consistent underperformer in this market. Given that the expected stat value is a modest 17.52, it's clear he'll likely fall short of that 25.5 mark. Moreover, the Pistons are facing a Pelicans team that thrives on limiting opposing offensive efficiency. With Jenkins' focus on facilitating rather than scoring, taking the Under here seems like a savvy play for anyone looking to cash in on this matchup.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to host the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but a closer look suggests he might fall short of the 29.5 points, rebounds, and assists mark. Jenkins has been a solid contributor, yet his recent performances at home tell a different story-he's hit the under in 18 of his last 20 games at the Motor City. Against a New Orleans defense that's shown the ability to tighten up and limit playmaking, Jenkins might find his opportunities constrained. With an expected stat value around 21, this matchup could see him struggle to crack that 30 combined total. The Pistons' game script often favors a balanced attack rather than relying solely on Jenkins, making this under a savvy play. Trust the numbers and the trend; this is a solid spot to back the under on Jenkins.
