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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but not in the way you might expect. With a line set at 7.5 assists, Jenkins has shown a pattern of underwhelming performances lately, especially at home where he's hit this mark just 3 times out of the last 16 games. In fact, over the past 20 games, Jenkins has successfully stayed under this threshold 17 times. His expected assists sit at a modest 4.99, making the under not just a hunch but a well-supported play. The Pistons' offensive flow can be erratic, often leaning toward isolation plays rather than ball movement, which works against Jenkins' potential for high assist totals. Given these trends, the under on Jenkins' assists feels like a savvy wager as he navigates a tough matchup against a Pelicans team that loves to pressure the ball.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings prepare to face the Orlando Magic, Devin Carter's recent performance paints a telling picture for bettors eyeing the Under on his points and assists total of 19.5. Averaging just 12.6 points and 2.4 assists over his last five games, he's struggled to find his rhythm, especially on the road where those numbers dip to 11.6 points and 3.2 assists. Against Orlando, he averages a mere 6.7 points with no production in his last away matchup. This isn't just a blip; Carter has hit the Under in 17 of his last 20 away games. With the Kings facing a Magic defense that's been tough at home, it's hard to see him surpassing that 19.5 threshold. Given the stakes and his track record, betting on Carter to fall short seems not just prudent, but a savvy play.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Devin Carter steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, there's a compelling narrative shaping this matchup-and it points toward a quieter night for the young star. Averaging just 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five games, Carter is coming off a stretch that sees him struggling to find his groove, especially away from home. His statistics are particularly telling; on the road, he's been limited to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds, with his performance against the Magic historically underwhelming-he's averaged a mere 6.7 points and 0 rebounds in their last few encounters. With an impressive 18 out of his last 20 games hitting the under on this prop, we can expect Carter to fall short of that 24.5 mark. Given his recent form and the tough environment, betting the under feels like a smart play.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but betting on him to hit the over on assists could be a risky proposition. While he's averaged 6 assists over his last five games, that number dips to 4.6 when he's on the road. Monk's performance against the Magic has also been underwhelming, averaging just 4.2 assists against them, and a mere 3.5 when playing away. With a staggering hit rate of 15 out of his last 18 games for the under, it's clear he often falls short of the 5.5 mark. The Magic's defense is no cakewalk either, which could further stifle Monk's playmaking opportunities. Given all these factors, targeting the under on Monk's assists feels like a savvy move in this matchup.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Devin Carter steps onto the court against the Orlando Magic, bettors might want to lean toward the under on his points and rebounds combined. This season, Carter has averaged a modest 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last five games, a trend that takes a nosedive when he's on the road, where those numbers drop to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds. When facing the Magic, his production sinks even further; he's averaged just 6.7 points in their recent encounters, and shockingly, he hasn't managed to register a single point or rebound in his last away game against them. With a hit rate of just 30% in away games against this opponent, the case for taking the under at 20.5 becomes compelling. In a matchup where pressure looms, expect Carter to face challenges that may keep him well below that threshold.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 25.5 Points + Assists (-120)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons take the court against the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Daniss Jenkins, particularly regarding his points and assists total. Positioned as a home player, Jenkins has been stellar lately, but the numbers suggest that he might not reach the lofty mark of 25.5. In fact, he's cleared that threshold just twice in the last 20 games, maintaining a hit rate of 90% under this line.With an expected stat value of just 17.52, it seems Jenkins may struggle to find his rhythm against a Pelicans defense that's been increasingly effective. Detroit's home games often see Jenkins sharing the ball more, limiting his personal scoring opportunities. Given these trends, placing a bet on the under seems not only wise but also backed by a compelling narrative of recent performance. Keep an eye on this matchup; Jenkins may not be the offensive juggernaut we've seen in the past.
