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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, particularly at home, the numbers suggest a different narrative for this matchup. Jenkins has hit the under on assists in 13 of his last 16 home games, consistently falling short of that 7.5 mark. His recent form backs this trend; he's only averaging around 5 assists, which is a significant dip from what's required. The Pistons' offensive scheme has shifted lately, leaving Jenkins in a less prolific role. Plus, the Pelicans' defense has tightened up, particularly against playmakers, which could further stifle his assist opportunities. Given these factors, taking the under on Jenkins' assists feels like a savvy play in this matchup.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 19.5 Points + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Devin Carter, but not for the reasons most expect. Despite averaging a respectable 12.6 points and 2.4 assists over his last five games, Carter's production takes a noticeable dip when hitting the road. His away stats show him averaging just 11.6 points and 3.2 assists-a stark contrast to the 19.5 threshold set for this matchup. Historically, Carter has struggled against the Kings, averaging a mere 6.7 points in their recent encounters, and even worse, he hasn't put up a single point or assist against them in his last away game. With a hit rate of just 15 out of 20 on the season and only 3 out of 20 away, targeting the Under seems not just strategic but nearly inevitable. It's hard to see him breaking through against a team that's been a thorn in his side.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Devin Carter gears up for the showdown against the Sacramento Kings, the numbers suggest a cautious approach to his performance. Averaging just 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five games, his recent stats paint a picture of a player struggling to find his rhythm. Even more telling, when playing away, his contributions dip further, plummeting to an average of 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds.Against the Kings, Carter's track record is even more concerning-over the last five matchups, he's averaging a paltry 6.7 points, and notably, he hasn't scored a single point when playing in Sacramento. With an expected stat total of just 15.34 and a hitting rate of 18 out of 20 on unders for away games, taking the under on 24.5 seems like a smart move. It's a bet grounded in reality rather than hope.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings gear up to face the Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but this matchup might not favor his playmaking. Despite averaging 6 assists over his last five games, his average drops to 4.6 when on the road, and against Orlando, he's only managed about 3.5 assists per game in their last few encounters. Digging deeper, Monk has hit the under on 5.5 assists in an impressive 17 of his last 20 games away, showcasing a trend that suggests he's likely to play more as a scorer than a facilitator in this one. With the Magic's defense tightening up, it's reasonable to expect Monk's distribution to take a hit. Betting the under on his assists feels like a smart play, especially with the odds reflecting a strong statistical edge against him.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to take on the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins. However, it might be wise to consider betting the under on his points and assists total of 25.5. Jenkins has been spectacularly efficient lately, but let's not forget that he's averaging just 17.52 in combined points and assists over his last stretch. Playing at home, he's been nothing short of dominant with an impressive 18 out of his last 20 games hitting under that mark. The Pelicans, while not a defensive juggernaut, have tightened up their perimeter defense recently, making it even trickier for Jenkins to put up big numbers. With an implied probability of 53.2%, this bet presents an intriguing opportunity. In a game where he might find himself sharing the ball more than usual, the under looks enticing.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Devin Carter's recent form suggests a compelling case for taking the under on his points and rebounds total set at 20.5. Carter has averaged just 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last five games, and those numbers dip even lower to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds when he's on the road. What's particularly concerning is his performance against the Kings; in their recent matchup, he managed a mere 6.7 points and failed to grab a single rebound. Historically, Carter has hit the under in 14 of his last 20 outings, and his away hit rate skyrockets to 17 out of 20. With these stats setting the stage, it seems likely that Carter will struggle to eclipse the 20.5 mark, making the under a smart play for this matchup.
