As the Detroit Pistons prepare to host the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins and his rebounding efforts. While Jenkins has shown flashes of potential, he's been trending sharply downward in this category, especially at home. With only 2.22 rebounds projected for this matchup, it's hard to see him surpassing that 3.5 threshold.In fact, his recent form highlights a clear trend: he's hit the under in an impressive 15 out of his last 18 games. At home, he's even more reliable, landing under in 10 of his last 14 appearances. The Lakers, while formidable opponents, don't have a reputation for allowing easy boards either, which only tightens the screws on Jenkins' chances. Given these stats and the current dynamics, betting on Jenkins to stay under 3.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play.
