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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to host the New Orleans Pelicans, Daniss Jenkins is a player to keep an eye on, but perhaps in a different light. With the assists line set at 7.5, betting the under could be a savvy move. Jenkins has recently showcased a remarkable consistency, but when we zoom in on his home performances, things tell a different story. He's only hit this mark in 3 of his last 16 games at home, averaging just under 5 assists. While he's been effective in facilitating, the Pistons' offense tends to spread the ball around, limiting his opportunities for those high assist numbers. Facing the Pelicans, who rank in the top half defensively against assists this season, makes it even tougher for Jenkins to rack them up. Given this context, the under on 7.5 seems not just plausible, but likely, as Jenkins navigates through a challenging matchup.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Devin Carter steps onto the court against the Sacramento Kings, the spotlight may not shine as brightly on him as one might think. Averaging just 12.6 points and 2.4 assists in his last five outings, his production has been modest. When he hits the road, that number dips even further to 11.6 points and 3.2 assists. Against the Kings, he's struggled even more, averaging a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 assists, yet his away stats against this opponent are particularly telling-he hasn't even managed to score or assist when playing in Sacramento recently. With a hit rate of just 3 out of his last 20 games when considering both points and assists, this matchup looks like a prime opportunity to bet on Carter falling short of that 19.5 mark. It's a tough matchup, and the numbers suggest he'll be held in check.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Sacramento Kings face off against the Orlando Magic, keep an eye on Devin Carter, particularly when it comes to his points, rebounds, and assists tally. Carter has been struggling on the road, averaging just 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists over his last five away games. Notably, his numbers plummet even further against the Kings, where he has registered a concerning average of 0 points, rebounds, and assists in their last matchup away from home. With the pressure of playing at the Amway Center, it's tough to see Carter surpassing the 24.5 mark given his recent form and the opponent's defensive schemes. Historically, he's only cleared this threshold in 1 of his last 6 outings, making the under a tempting play. With an expected stat value of just 15.34, it's hard to imagine him finding that rhythm in this matchup.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings roll into Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk and his playmaking skills. However, taking the under on his assists at 5.5 seems like a savvy move. While Monk has been solid overall, averaging 6 assists in his last five games, his away performance slides to just 4.6 per game. Dig a bit deeper, and you'll find that against the Magic, he's only managed 4.2 assists lately, and even more telling, just 3.5 on the road against them.Moreover, Monk's recent trajectory shows a remarkable hit rate of 15 out of his last 18 games hitting the under, and an impressive 17 of his last 20 on the road. With the Magic's defense tightening up and Monk's assist total likely to dip, this feels like a well-calibrated bet. Don't be surprised if he finishes with fewer than 5.5 assists tonight.

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, keep an eye on Devin Carter's projected performance. With a combined average of just 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last five games, Carter hasn't exactly been on fire. His away numbers dip even further, with averages of 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds-far from the 20.5 mark we're targeting for this prop bet.What's even more telling is Carter's track record against the Kings, where he's been limited to a mere 6.7 points per game recently, and shockingly, he hasn't scored at all during his last away matchup against them. With an overall hit rate of 14 out of 20 for hitting the under, and 17 out of 20 on the road, it's hard to see him breaking through this time. Let's ride the under on Carter; the numbers certainly suggest it's the smart play.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Daniss Jenkins, betting the under on his combined points and assists feels like a savvy move. Playing at home against the New Orleans Pelicans, Jenkins has a striking tendency to stay below that 25.5 mark. In fact, he's hit the under in 18 of his last 20 games, both overall and at home. This isn't just a fluke; his expected stat value hovers around 17.52, signaling that he's likely to fall well short of that lofty total.
