As the Detroit Pistons host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins. While he's shown flashes of brilliance this season, let's focus on the numbers that suggest he might struggle from beyond the arc tonight. Jenkins has hit the Under on threes made in 17 of his last 20 outings, a remarkable trend that signals a consistent challenge in finding his rhythm from deep. At home, he's even more subdued, connecting on just 8 of 9 games for the Under. With an expected stat value of only 1.2 threes, it seems the odds are stacked against him meeting the 1.5 mark. Against a Pelicans defense that's been tough on shooters, Jenkins could very well find himself on the outside looking in. Given these patterns, betting on him to stay Under feels like a savvy play in this matchup.
Derik Queen (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)

When it comes to Derik Queen, the stars seem to align for his points and rebounds prop bet against the Detroit Pistons. With an expected stat value of 14.02, it's clear he's been an impactful force. Over his last 20 games, he's not just been good; he's been incredible, hitting the over 70% of the time. Now, facing a Detroit squad that struggles to contain versatile bigs, Queen's ability to stretch the floor and crash the boards could be the key to his success. The Pistons' defense has been inconsistent, allowing opponents to exploit mismatches down low. With a 14-for-20 success rate in away games, Queen thrives when he's not in familiar territory. Given all this, betting on him to surpass 10.5 points and rebounds isn't just a smart move; it feels like a solid investment in his continued ascent.
Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Pelicans gear up to face the Pistons, Zion Williamson is primed for a breakout performance that could see him easily surpass the 26.5 points + rebounds mark. Historically, he thrives when playing away, averaging an impressive 21.8 points and 6.4 rebounds in his last five games on the road. Against Detroit, Zion has ramped it up even more, netting an average of 31 points and 7.5 rebounds in their recent matchups. With the Pistons struggling to contain versatile scorers like Zion, he's shown a knack for exploiting mismatches, and it's no surprise he's hit this prop three out of his last five away games. With an expected stat value of nearly 30, it feels like a solid bet that the talented forward will exceed the 26.5 threshold. When the lights shine brightest, Zion delivers-don't miss this opportunity to back him.
