Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 8.5 Assists (-159)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Raptors face off against the Celtics in Boston, targeting Scottie Barnes for under 8.5 assists makes a lot of sense. Despite a promising average of 11 assists over his last five games, he's been significantly less productive on the road, averaging just 9.2 assists away from home. Against Boston, his recent performances dip even further, with only 3.8 assists recorded per game in their last encounters.The Celtics' stingy defense complicates things for Barnes, and history supports this; he's only cleared the 8.5 mark in 14 of his last 20 games. With an expected stat value of just 6.15 assists, the odds are leaning heavily toward the under. Given that Barnes has hit the under in 13 of his last 16 games away, it's a sound play to bet against him surpassing that 8.5 assists threshold in this matchup.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Detroit Pistons, all eyes should be on Daniss Jenkins, particularly when it comes to his rebounds and assists prop at under 10.5. Though Jenkins has shown flashes of brilliance, he's been held under this line 19 out of his last 20 away games-an astonishing trend that highlights how challenging it can be for him to contribute on the road.In this matchup, the 76ers' depth could limit his opportunities, especially against a Pistons team that's surprisingly solid defensively. With an expected stat value of just 8.08, the under looks enticing here. Jenkins has hit the under in two of his last three outings, and with the pressure mounting in an away environment, it's reasonable to expect him to fall short of that mark once again. Bet on the under and watch the numbers play out!

Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into Minnesota, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but this matchup might not unfold in his favor. Over his last five games, Miller has averaged 21.2 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, but those numbers dip significantly on the road. He's only managing about 17 points and 5.6 rebounds away from home, which tells a story of struggle when the pressure mounts. Against the Timberwolves, his average dips to a mere 18.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in away games, which is a far cry from that 28.5 mark we're looking at. With Miller's recent performance against tough defenses showing a hit rate of just 4 out of his last 6 on the road, it's clear that this number is a stretch. Betting the under here seems like a smart play as the Timberwolves' defense has a knack for stifling young talents like Miller.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Daniss Jenkins steps onto the court against the Philadelphia 76ers, the narrative leans heavily toward him struggling to hit the over on 27.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. In away games, he's been a shadow of himself, with a perfect streak of unders in his last 17 outings. This matchup against a formidable 76ers defense only adds to the concern. Moreover, Jenkins' recent performances have shown a decline; he's averaging just 22.79 in this combined stat category, well below the line set for Saturday. With the 76ers often suffocating opposing offenses, we can expect Jenkins to face a tough night. Given his overall hit rate of just 14 out of his last 20 games, betting on the under feels like a solid move. With Jenkins needing to find another gear to reach that number, the smart play here is to lean into the under.

Duren has averaged a solid 23.8 points and 4.4 assists over his last five games, but those numbers dip when he's away from home-just 23.2 points and 1.8 assists. Against the 76ers, he's been held to only 10.4 points in their last five matchups, and that trend continues on the road, where he's averaging just 10.8 points against them.With an impressive hit rate-19 out of his last 20 away games staying under this line-Duren's production is likely to be stifled against a formidable Philly defense. Expect him to struggle to reach that 29.5 mark. The under feels like a solid move in this matchup.

Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 35.5 Points + Rebounds (-135)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Jalen Duren steps onto the court against the Philadelphia 76ers, we might want to consider betting the under on his combined points and rebounds at 35.5. While Duren has been solid lately, averaging 23.8 points and 12 rebounds over his last five games, his performance tends to dip when facing the 76ers. Historically, he puts up just about 10.4 points and 9 rebounds against them-numbers that suggest he might struggle to hit that combined total. Additionally, his away averages drop slightly to 23.2 points and 10 rebounds, indicating a pattern that favors the under. With a solid hit rate of 10 out of 16 games overall and a remarkable 6 out of 7 away, this matchup feels ripe for Duren to fall short of that 35.5 mark. Taking the under could be a savvy play given these trends.
