Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic) Over 9.5 Points (-213)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Orlando Magic face off against the Detroit Pistons, all eyes should be on Franz Wagner, particularly when it comes to scoring. With an impressive average of 12.6 points over his last five games, he's been a reliable contributor, especially at home where he ups his game to 16.2 points per outing. What's truly eye-catching is his history against the Pistons; Wagner has dropped an average of 23.6 points in their recent matchups, showcasing his knack for exploiting their defensive lapses. Consider that he's hit the over on 9.5 points in 19 of his last 20 home games-now that's a stat that speaks volumes. With an expected stat value of nearly 19 points and a solid implied probability of 68%, betting on Wagner to soar past 9.5 points seems not just logical, but almost inevitable.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 11.5 Rebounds + Assists (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Daniss Jenkins' matchup against the Detroit Pistons, the numbers tell a compelling story for an Under on his combined rebounds and assists at 11.5. Recently, Jenkins has averaged just 5.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists over his last five games, but it's the away performances that really stand out: he's only hitting 4 rebounds and 7.2 assists on the road. Historically, against the Pistons, Jenkins has struggled even more, averaging a mere 0.3 rebounds and assists in their last matchups. With a solid hit rate of 18 out of his last 20 away games falling below that 11.5 mark, it's clear that Jenkins tends to fade in hostile territory. The implied probability also hints at a 58.1% likelihood of this outcome, suggesting that the Under is the way to go here. Keep an eye on Jenkins; it seems like this might be a night he simply doesn't

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 34.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons roll into Orlando, Jalen Duren's recent performances suggest we might see him struggle to hit that lofty 34.5 points plus rebounds mark. Over his last five games, he's averaging 21.8 points and 10.6 rebounds-solid numbers, but when we zoom in on his away games, those figures dip slightly to 21.2 points and 10.6 rebounds. Against this Magic squad, Duren has averaged just 16.2 points over their last matchups, and even less-10.2-when playing on their home turf. With his average rebounds against Orlando dropping to 6.6 away, the signs point to a tough night ahead. Plus, his recent track record shows he's only cleared this total in 10 of his last 17 games, and 6 of his last 8 on the road. All in all, Duren's likelihood of falling short of that 34.5 threshold seems compelling
