Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Assists (+102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes are on Daniss Jenkins, but not for the reasons you might think. Targeting the under on his assists at 7.5 seems like the smart play here. Recent performances show Jenkins is hitting the mark just 20% of the time when it comes to surpassing this line-he's gone under this total a staggering 16 out of his last 20 games. Even more compelling is his home performance, where he's managed to exceed this number in only four of his last 17 appearances. With a projected assists average of just 5.39, the numbers are leaning heavily toward the under. The Pistons' offensive flow has struggled lately, and Jenkins may find it tough to dish out assists against a Pelicans team that's been diligent on defense. Overall, this looks like a play worth making as Jenkins navigates this challenging matchup.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-137)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Kings visit the Magic, all eyes should be on Malik Monk's assist total, where the under on 5.5 feels like a savvy play. While Monk has been a solid playmaker recently, averaging six assists over his last five games, the context here shifts when he hits the road. Away from home, his numbers dip to just 4.6 assists and even lower against the Magic's defense, where he's managed only 3.5 assists in their last few matchups.Considering Monk's recent form, he's only eclipsed this mark in three of his last ten away games. And with a hit rate of 17 out of 20 for under 5.5 assists in away contests, it's clear that the odds favor a lower output in this matchup. With the Magic's defense tightening up, betting the under on Monk seems like a smart move.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 17.5 Points + Assists (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic face off against the Sacramento Kings, Devin Carter's recent performance paints a compelling case for targeting the under on his points and assists line of 17.5. Over the last five games, Carter has averaged just 12.6 points and 2.4 assists, a far cry from the mark he needs to hit. When looking at his away games, those numbers dip even lower-11.6 points and 3.2 assists-underscoring his struggle to find rhythm on the road. Moreover, his historical performance against the Kings offers little optimism, with an average of only 6.7 points and a meager 0 points in their last encounter away. With a hit rate of just 13 out of his last 20 games overall and even more telling, 17 of 20 when away, it's clear that the under is not just a possibility; it's a strong likelihood. Expect Carter to fall short once again in this matchup.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Devin Carter's performance against the Kings, the numbers suggest a challenging night ahead. Averaging just 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five games, Carter hasn't shown the firepower needed to hit that 21.5 mark. His struggles amplify on the road; he's only managed 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in away games recently. Against this particular opponent, his averages dip even further-he's been limited to 6.7 points and virtually nothing in rebounds or assists during his recent outings against Sacramento. With an expected stat value hovering around 14.64, it's hard to envision him exceeding that 21.5 total. Given his away game hit rate of just 3 out of the last 20, taking the under feels like a smart play here. Expect a quiet night from Carter as he navigates a tough matchup

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 24.5 Points + Assists (-106)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but the smart play here is to bet the Under on his points and assists combined. Despite the buzz around his playstyle, Jenkins has consistently struggled to hit that 24.5 mark at home, reaching the threshold just 3 times in his last 20 games. His overall hit rate is a staggering 85%, but it's his home performance that truly stands out-17 out of 20 times, he's kept below this line when playing in Detroit. Given the Pistons' recent trend of emphasizing team-based scoring over individual stats, Jenkins is likely to find his opportunities limited against a disciplined Pelicans defense. With an expected stat value of just 18.84, the Under feels like a solid choice. Trust the numbers; this matchup favors a quieter night for Jenkins.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Kings head into Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but history suggests a quieter performance is in store. Over his last five road games, Monk has averaged just 8.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists-falling well short of the 24.5 mark. Diving deeper, against the Magic, he's managed only 8.5 points per game on the road, with a dismal average of 1.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The numbers don't lie; with a hit rate of 5-for-5 on the Under in his last five away games and an overall hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 contests, it seems Monk's production is more likely to dwindle in this matchup. The odds are stacked against him, making the Under 24.5 a compelling play as the Kings look to adjust on the fly in a tough environment.
