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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Daniss Jenkins has been a bright spot for the Pistons, but when it comes to assists, the numbers suggest we should lean towards the under against the Pelicans. Over his last 20 games, Jenkins has only eclipsed 7.5 assists three times, showcasing a hit rate that stands at an impressive 85% for the under. At home, he's even more reliable, hitting under in 13 of his last 16 games. The Pelicans present a challenging matchup defensively, often stifling playmakers and limiting assist opportunities. With Jenkins projected for just under five assists, the expectation is clear: he's likely to fall short of that 7.5 mark yet again. As the Pistons look to establish other scoring avenues, it's a sound strategy to take the under on Jenkins' assists in this matchup. The odds are in our favor, making this a compelling play to consider.

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

As the Sacramento Kings head to Orlando, keep an eye on Malik Monk's assist total, particularly the under at 5.5. While he's been a steady contributor, averaging six assists over his last five games, the away splits tell a different story. Monk has averaged just 4.6 assists on the road, and when facing the Magic, that number dips even further to 3.5. Historically, Monk's production against this opponent isn't promising, with an average of 4.2 assists in their last five matchups. This trend holds weight, considering he's hit the under in 17 of his last 20 away games. With the Kings likely relying on their scoring prowess rather than playmaking against a Magic team that can stifle drives, expect Monk to fall short of that 5.5 mark in what could be a competitive showdown.

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. However, a closer look suggests that targeting the under on his points and assists combined at 25.5 could be the savvy move. Jenkins has been a standout, but in his last 20 outings, he's only breached this mark twice at home. With an expected stat value of just 17.52, it's clear his production has been trending downwards, especially against a Pelicans defense that has tightened up recently.Moreover, Jenkins has hit the under in 18 of his last 20 games, a trend that's hard to ignore. Given the Pistons' overall struggle to find offensive flow, it wouldn't be surprising to see Jenkins fall short of that 25.5 line. In a game where efficiency will be paramount, betting the under on Jenkins feels like a solid play.
