With his confidence soaring and a perfect 3-for-3 on the road lately, Alexander-Walker is primed to light it up. Expect him to not only meet but exceed that 19.5 threshold as he looks to make a statement in Detroit.

Onyeka Okongwu (Atlanta Hawks) Over 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-270)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingOnyeka Okongwu is primed to exceed 16.5 combined points and rebounds against the Pistons on Wednesday night. Despite averaging just over 11 points and nearly 7 rebounds recently, he's shown a knack for stepping up in critical matchups, particularly against Detroit, where he averages 16.6 points in their last five encounters. What's more, Okongwu has been a force on the road, boosting his average to 13 points and 7.6 rebounds away from home. With an impressive hit rate-16 out of his last 20 games hitting this mark-and a staggering 8 of 9 in away contests, he's clearly in form. The Pistons will need to contend with his energy and versatility in the paint, and given their defensive lapses, he's likely to capitalize. Expect him to eclipse that 16.5 threshold as he continues to find his groove.
Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 3.5 Rebounds (+100)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Detroit Pistons prepare to face the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, particularly when it comes to his rebounding numbers. While Jenkins has shown flashes of potential, his average of just 3.6 rebounds at home and 2.88 expected for this matchup points to a potential struggle to hit that 3.5 mark. Against the Hawks, he's managed only 5 boards at home recently, yet that's a bit misleading given the Pistons' overall dynamics and how they tend to distribute the rebounding load. In fact, Jenkins has seen a notable underperformance lately, hitting the under in 15 of his last 19 games. Factor in the Pistons' likely game plan to focus on perimeter play against the Hawks' defense, and it's reasonable to believe Jenkins may fall short. Betting the under on his rebounds feels like a savvy move in this matchup.
