Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons prepare for their matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Daniss Jenkins, particularly if you're considering the under on his assists total of 7.5. Jenkins has shown a remarkable trend recently, hitting the under in 16 of his last 20 games, which speaks volumes about his current form. At home, he's particularly stingy, hitting the under in 13 out of his last 17 appearances at Little Caesars Arena. While Jenkins has the talent and vision to facilitate the offense, the Pistons' style often leans more toward isolation plays, limiting his assist opportunities. With an expected stat value of just 5.39, the odds favor a more subdued performance from him. Considering these factors, it feels like a smart play to take the under on Jenkins' assists tonight.

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 35.5 Points + Rebounds (-119)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Pistons host the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Jalen Duren, but the smart money is on the Under for his combined points and rebounds at 35.5. Duren has been a solid contributor, yet recent trends suggest a dip in production. Over the past month, he's hit this mark in just 9 of his last 12 games, showcasing a hit rate that's beginning to trend downwards. At home, the young big man has been reliable, with a commendable 15 out of 20 hitting the Over, but the Pelicans present a unique challenge. Their defensive schemes have consistently stymied bigs, and with Duren's expected stat value sitting at just 29.12, it's evident he may struggle to reach that lofty total. With the odds favoring the Under and a solid edge in our favor, betting on Duren to stay below 35.5 feels like a savvy play tonight.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but betting on him to go under 20.5 points and rebounds feels like the savvy play. At home, Jenkins has been a model of consistency, hitting the under in 15 of his last 20 games, and his overall form is even more impressive, with 17 out of 20 games falling short of that mark. Against a Pelicans team that ranks top 10 in defensive efficiency, Jenkins could struggle to find his rhythm. His expected stat value sits at a modest 15.71, indicating a significant gap from that 20.5 threshold. With the pressure of the home crowd and the Pelicans' strong defensive presence, this matchup shapes up perfectly for the under. Trust the numbers and the trends-Jenkins is likely to come up short in this one.
