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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming matchup between the Pistons and the Pelicans, targeting an Under on Daniss Jenkins' assists seems like a savvy play. Jenkins has been on a roll, but let's not overlook the numbers. With an expected stat value hovering around 5.39 assists, the 7.5 mark feels a touch ambitious. At home, Jenkins has been particularly restrained, hitting the Under in an impressive 13 of his last 17 games. This trend is compounded by his overall hit rate of 16 out of the last 20, showcasing a clear pattern of distribution that doesn't quite reach the lofty threshold set for this game. Given the matchup against New Orleans, who often stifles opposing playmakers, Jenkins might find his opportunities limited. As he navigates the court in front of a Detroit crowd, don't be surprised if his assists land below that 7.5 mark. It's a calculated bet rooted in performance and context.

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 35.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

As the Pistons square off against the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Jalen Duren's contributions on the court. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, targeting the under on his points and rebounds total at 35.5 feels like a smart play here. Over the last 12 games, Duren has hit this mark just 75% of the time, and at home, he's been even more restrained, coming in under this number in 15 of his last 20 outings at the Little Caesars Arena. The Pelicans present a challenging matchup, particularly with their physical frontcourt, which can disrupt his ability to dominate the boards. With an expected stat value of 29.12, it's evident his production might take a dip in this contest. Given the stakes and the defensive pressure he'll face, betting the under on Duren could be a savvy move for this matchup.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to face the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, and not just because he's at home. The buzz around Jenkins has been palpable, yet recent performances suggest he might struggle to hit that lofty total of 28.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Over his last 20 games, he's only eclipsed that mark three times, and when playing in Detroit, he's hit the under a staggering 17 out of 20 times. The matchup against New Orleans further complicates things; they've been solid defensively, especially against guards. With the Pistons' offense often stuttering, it's hard to envision Jenkins finding the rhythm needed to surpass such a high number. With an expected stat value of just 23.08 and an implied probability of 52.9% for this under bet, it paints a compelling picture that Jenkins might just come up short this time around.
