Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When considering a player prop bet on Daniss Jenkins, the under on his threes made is a tantalizing option. Despite his potential, Jenkins has struggled to find his rhythm beyond the arc lately. In fact, he's hit the mark just 1.2 times on average, falling short of the 1.5 threshold we're targeting. At home, the numbers speak volumes: he's successfully drained just over 88% of his attempted threes in his last nine outings. However, that doesn't quite paint the full picture. The Detroit Pistons' system has leaned towards ball movement and inside scoring, which has limited Jenkins' opportunities from deep. Facing the New Orleans Pelicans, who typically tighten up defensively at the perimeter, it's hard to envision Jenkins exceeding this line. With an overall hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 games, it feels safe to bank on the under here.

Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-167)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Pelicans roll into Detroit, all eyes should be on Zion Williamson. The big man is on a tear, consistently exceeding expectations with an average of 31 points and 7.5 rebounds against the Pistons in their last away matchup. With a current streak of scoring over 24.5 points and rebounds in five straight games, Zion is not just a key player; he's a force to be reckoned with. His ability to dominate in the paint translates into impressive offensive production, and against a Pistons defense that has struggled to contain explosive scorers, we can anticipate another standout performance. The numbers also suggest Zion is hitting this mark at a remarkable 73% clip over the last 11 games, with a solid average of 29.83 expected points and rebounds. Given his current form and success against Detroit, betting the over on 24.5 seems like a slam dunk for Thursday night.

Derik Queen (New Orleans Pelicans) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans gear up to face the Detroit Pistons, all eyes should be on Derik Queen. With a solid expectation of 14.02 combined points and rebounds, the young star seems primed to exceed the 10.5 mark. His recent form speaks volumes-Queen has hit this over in an impressive 14 of his last 20 games, showcasing remarkable consistency, especially on the road. What's even more enticing is the Pelicans' defensive struggles against versatile forwards, allowing plenty of opportunities for players like Queen to thrive. With a model edge suggesting a 15.4% likelihood of hitting the over, this bet feels like a valuable opportunity. Plus, Queen's determination to shine in away games only adds to the narrative. As the clock ticks down to tip-off, expect Queen to deliver a standout performance that not only meets but surpasses our expectations.
