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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to host the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but I'm leaning towards the under on his assists at 7.5. Despite the excitement surrounding Jenkins, the numbers paint a different picture. Over his last 20 games, he's hit this mark only three times, with a remarkable 17-game stretch where he's fallen short. Playing at home, he's been even more reserved, surpassing this total just three times in his past 16 outings. The Pistons' offense has been slow-paced, which limits assist opportunities, and against a Pelicans team that has tightened up defensively, Jenkins might find it tough to dish out assists. With an expected stat value of just 4.99 and an overall hit rate that suggests he's more likely to stay under, this bet feels like a solid play. Trust the trends here; Jenkins is poised for a quiet night.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In Thursday's matchup between the Sacramento Kings and the Orlando Magic, targeting Malik Monk for under 5.5 assists seems like a savvy play. While Monk has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent away performances tell a different story. Over the last five games, he's averaging just 4.6 assists on the road, and his history against the Magic isn't promising either, with an average of only 3.5 assists in their previous encounters away from home. Dig deeper, and you'll see that Monk's overall hit rate is impressive at 15 of 18, but when away, he's hit this under in 17 of his last 20 games. The numbers suggest a trend that favors the under, especially considering his expected stat value is just 3.37. With the pressure of being in Orlando and the defensive schemes that often stifle playmakers, it's hard to envision Monk eclipsing that 5.5 mark tonight.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, it's worth taking a closer look at Devin Carter's recent performance, especially when considering a bet on his points and rebounds total. Carter's averages paint a sobering picture-over his last five games, he's clocked in at just 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds. When he hits the road, those numbers dip further to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds.Against the Kings, Carter's stats are even less encouraging, netting just 6.7 points and a dismal 2.7 rebounds, with zero production in their last away matchup. With a hit rate of only 30% on this prop against Sacramento, it seems prudent to take the under on 20.5. The Kings' defense can be stifling, and if Carter continues to struggle away from home, we could see him fall well short of that mark.
