As the Detroit Pistons prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but not for the reasons you might think. While Jenkins has shown promise, his current form suggests a dip in playmaking that makes the under on his assists a smart bet. In his last 20 outings, Jenkins has hit the under in an impressive 17 games, a clear indication that he's struggling to find his rhythm. At home, things don't look much better; he's managed to clear the 7.5 mark in just 3 of his last 16 appearances. With an expected stat value of only 4.99 assists, it's evident that Jenkins is more likely to dish out fewer assists than usual against a Pelicans team that can disrupt offensive flow. This matchup could see him underwhelming once again, making the under on 7.5 a solid play.

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes will be on Devin Carter. However, given his recent performances, betting on him to stay under 19.5 points and assists feels like the savvy play. Over the last five games, Carter has averaged just 12.6 points and 2.4 assists, and when you look at his away numbers, those figures dip even further-11.6 points and 3.2 assists. Even more telling is his history against the Kings; in their last matchup in Sacramento, he was held to a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 assists. In fact, he hasn't managed to score at all in their past two games on the road against this opponent. With a strong hit rate of 17 out of the last 20 away games going under, it's hard to ignore the trend. This matchup sets up perfectly for Carter to fall short of that total, making the under a compelling choice.
Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Kings prepare to host the Magic, Devin Carter's performance is a focal point for bettors. At first glance, his combined points, rebounds, and assists line of 24.5 might seem enticing, but recent trends tell a different story. Over his last five games, Carter has averaged just 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. When away from home, those numbers dip further, with his scoring settling at around 11.6 points per game. Against the Kings, he's struggled even more, averaging a mere 6.7 points in their last matchups. The absence of any production in previous away games against Sacramento-zero points, rebounds, or assists-highlights a troubling trend. With a robust hit rate of 18 out of 20 unders in away contests, the undervalue of Carter's expected output makes this under a compelling angle. Expect him to fall short of that lofty 24.5 mark.
Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-106)

As the Sacramento Kings prepare to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but not in the way you might expect. While Monk has been dazzling at home, his recent away performances tell a different story. Averaging just 4.6 assists in his last five road games, it's clear that the away environment has stifled his playmaking. Against the Magic, where he's averaged only 3.5 assists in previous matchups, it's hard to see him suddenly breaking out. Moreover, with an impressive overall hit rate of 15 out of 18 games landing under this line, Monk's consistency in these situations cannot be overlooked. Given the stakes and Orlando's solid defense, betting the under on Monk's assists at 5.5 feels like a smart choice. The numbers support a narrative that his playmaking will be tested, and the odds are in our favor for this prop bet.
Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 25.5 Points + Assists (-114)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, the numbers suggest a different story for this matchup. Jenkins has been a consistent performer lately, yet his points and assists combined have been trending downwards, particularly when playing at home. Over his last 20 games, he's hit the under on 18 occasions, making a compelling case for this prop bet. With an expected stat value hovering around 17.52, the 25.5 line feels inflated, especially considering the Pistons' balanced scoring approach. The Pelicans are no slouches defensively, either, which could further limit Jenkins' opportunities. Given the inherent pressure of a home game and his recent trends, betting on the under just makes sense. The odds are in our favor, and with the data backing it up, this could be a savvy play.
Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, Devin Carter's performance under the spotlight raises some eyebrows. Averaging just 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over his last five games, he clearly hasn't been hitting his stride lately. Even more telling is his away performance, where he dips to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds. When it comes to facing the Magic, Carter has struggled significantly, averaging a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds against them recently, with a dismal 0 in points and rebounds during their last matchup on the road. With a hit rate of just 30% against this opponent and an overall hit rate of 70% for unders in away games, it seems prudent to bet the under on Carter's combined points and rebounds total of 20.5. It's a narrative of inconsistency against tough competition, making this a smart play for those looking to capitalize on his current form.
