Detroit Pistons vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Picks (Jalen Duren Key Factor): Full Breakdown & Bets

As the Pistons gear up to host the Pelicans, all eyes will be on Tobias Harris, but we're leaning towards the under on his three-pointers made, set at 1.5. While Harris has shown flashes of brilliance, particularly at home, recent trends suggest he's likely to fall short tonight. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 1.2 threes, and against the Pelicans, he's managed only 0.4 per matchup. Home cooking hasn't been a cure-all either, with only an average of 1.4 threes made at the Little Caesars Arena. Moreover, the stats reveal that in their last encounters, he's only hit this mark once in his last five against New Orleans. With an impressive hit rate of 12 out of 15 overall but a more telling 5 out of 7 at home, it feels like we're looking at a night where Harris just can't find his rhythm from deep.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+108)

As the Detroit Pistons prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, particularly for his three-point shooting. While Jenkins has shown flashes of potential, the numbers tell a different story when it comes to consistency from beyond the arc. Over the last 19 games, he's only eclipsed the 1.5 threes mark in 16 of them, which may seem promising, but let's dig deeper. At home, his hit rate is impressive, with 7 out of his last 8 games landing under that threshold. The expected stat value for his threes sits at 1.37, suggesting that a night of fewer than two makes is more likely than not. Given the Pistons' current dynamics and Jenkins' fluctuating performances, betting on him to stay under 1.5 threes feels like a smart play as he navigates a tough matchup against the Pelicans.
