Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes are on Daniss Jenkins and his assist numbers. While Jenkins has shown flashes of brilliance this season, he's been sneaky under the radar lately, hitting the under on assists in 17 of his last 20 games. At home, he's particularly been effective, with 13 out of 16 performances falling below the 7.5 mark.Now, facing a Pelicans team that excels in limiting assists, Jenkins might find it challenging to distribute the rock effectively. The expected stat value for him sits at just 4.99 assists, suggesting that he could struggle to hit that lofty over. With the Pistons likely leaning on their scoring options, Jenkins might just be more of a facilitator than a playmaker tonight. Taking the under feels like a smart play as he navigates a tough matchup on the court.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 19.5 Points + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings head into Orlando, Devin Carter's performance might be more subdued than usual. Averaging just 11.6 points and 3.2 assists on the road in his last five games, he's struggled to find his rhythm away from home. In fact, against the Magic, he's posted a meager 6.7 points per game recently, and the trend continues with 0 points and 0 assists in his last away matchup against them. With Carter's overall hit rate reflecting just 15 out of 20 games going under 19.5, and a notable 17 of those 20 away games hitting the under, it's clear he often comes up short on the road. Given the Kings' dynamic offense, they might lean on other players more heavily, making the under on Carter's combined points and assists a smart play for Thursday's matchup.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to host the Sacramento Kings, Devin Carter might find himself in a challenging spot. Playing away, his recent performances suggest a dip in production; he's averaged just 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists on the road. Against the Kings, he's struggled even further, posting a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in their last matchup, with zero production in those categories during away games. With his recent averages of 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five outings, it seems Carter is well below the 24.5 threshold we're targeting. His impressive away hit rate of 18 out of 20 games for the under solidifies our stance. Expect a tough night for him in Orlando, making the under a smart bet.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings roll into Orlando, all eyes will be on Malik Monk, but this matchup might not be as favorable for him as some expect. While Monk has been on a solid run lately, averaging 6 assists over his last five games, his away numbers tell a different story. On the road, he's only managing 4.6 assists, and against the Magic, his average dips further to just 3.5 assists. With the Kings facing a Magic team that's been effective at limiting opposing guards, Monk might find it tough to distribute the ball. In fact, he's hit the under on this prop in 17 of his last 20 away games, showcasing a consistent trend when playing outside Sacramento. Given the context and his recent performance, it's reasonable to expect Monk to finish below the 5.5 mark tonight.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic gear up to host the Sacramento Kings, Devin Carter's recent form suggests he might struggle to hit the over on 20.5 points and rebounds. Over the last five games, he's averaged just 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds, a far cry from the threshold we're eyeing. When playing away, those numbers dip even lower to 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds. Against the Kings specifically, Carter's stats are telling-he's averaged a mere 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in his last five encounters, and shockingly, he hasn't registered a single point or rebound in their last matchup away. With a hit rate of just 17 out of the last 20 on the road, it's clear the away environment is not his friend. All signs point to Carter staying under that 20.5 mark in this one.

Daniss Jenkins (Detroit Pistons) Under 25.5 Points + Assists (-120)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Detroit Pistons host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Daniss Jenkins, but the smart money might be on him falling short of 25.5 combined points and assists. At home, Jenkins has been a standout, yet his recent form suggests a slowdown; he's hit the under 18 out of 20 times in his last 20 games. While he'll likely face a Pelicans defense that has tightened up, Jenkins is also sharing the floor with other playmakers, diluting his opportunities for high-scoring outings. With an expected stat value of just 17.52, it's clear he might not reach that 25.5 mark. The crowd can be a double-edged sword, and while home court advantage is important, it's worth noting Jenkins' recent trend indicates he could be primed for a quieter night. Betting the under feels like a savvy choice as he navigates these dynamics.
