Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (-147)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons host the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes will undoubtedly be on Daniss Jenkins. However, betting the under on his assists total of 7.5 feels like the savvy play. Sure, Jenkins has been solid, averaging 7 assists over his last five games, but digging deeper reveals a telling trend against Atlanta. He's only managed 4.7 assists on average in their previous matchups and just 3.5 when playing at home. Moreover, Jenkins has hit this under in 13 of his last 16 home games, which suggests that the Pistons have been leaning heavily on other offensive options at home. With an expected stat value of just 5.04 and a robust hit rate of 17 out of his last 20 games going under, it seems like Jenkins will likely fall short of that 7.5 mark against the Hawks. Keep your bets smart and lean on the under.

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 34.5 Points + Rebounds (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons host the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes will be on Jalen Duren, but betting on him to go under 34.5 combined points and rebounds feels like the smart play. While Duren has been solid lately, averaging 24.6 points and 10 rebounds over his last five, his performance at home tells a different story. He's notched just 20.8 points and 10.8 boards in recent home games, often struggling against the Hawks, where his averages dip to 13.6 points and 7.8 rebounds. With a hit rate of 8 out of his last 11 games, the trend suggests that exceeding that 34.5 mark will be a challenge, especially with Atlanta's solid defense against big men. Given his expected stat value of 27.45 and the pressure of the matchup, targeting the under seems not just prudent but backed by compelling numbers.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 16.5 Rebounds + Assists (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Jalen Johnson heads into this matchup against the Pistons, the signs point toward a modest night in terms of rebounds and assists. Over his last five away games, he's averaged just 8.8 boards and 7 assists, which puts him well below that 16.5 mark. Even against the Pistons, where he typically grabs around 8.6 rebounds and dishes out only 4.6 assists in similar scenarios, it's hard to see him exceeding expectations tonight. His overall hit rate shows he's only surpassed this total in 6 of his last 11 games, with a more promising 3 of 4 when playing on the road. Given the context and the Pistons' scrappy defense, betting the under on Jalen's combined rebounds and assists feels like the smart move. Keep an eye on the flow of the game; it might just not be the night for Johnson to shine.
