    Analysis

    FanDuel. I’m buying into Daniss Jenkins right now. JB Bickerstaff started him in a smaller lineup last game (also against the Wizards) in an effort to play faster and to stagger big men John Collins and Paul Reed. Jenkins responded with 22 points in 36 minutes -- and this was after a 31-point performance. Bickerstaff said Jenkins earned more opportunity, and it’s evident that Detroit needs him on the floor more as a secondary scorer opposite Cade Cunningham. Look for Jenkins to stay aggressive again tonight.

    Analysis

    Cade Cunningham has scored just 14 and 17 points over his last two games. Both games were Sunday and Monday, as the Pistons played the Wizards on the second night of a back-to-back. Now the roles reverse as the Wizards played the Pacers Wednesday night. Boosted incentive here for Cunningham as this is his first game back at Washington since suffering a collapsed lung last March. Take Cunningham over.

    Picked: Nov 12 @ 1:52pm

    Analysis

    Daniss Jenkins started and played 36 minutes when the Pistons beat the Wizards on Monday. He likely retained that role for this rematch, considering that he provided 22 points, six rebounds, eight assists and four steals. He has played at least 30 minutes in a game three times this season, scoring at least 18 points in each of them. Last season, he averaged 19.5 points over 15 games in which he played at least 30 minutes. With the Wizards likely to focus their defensive efforts on slowing down Cade Cunningham, Jenkins should receive enough quality shot attempts against lesser defenders to hit this over.

    Analysis

    Yes, Linus Ullmark has been excellent, but we haven’t seen him play since October 21st. If there’s a chance to see him struggle, I think it’ll be tonight against the offensive powerhouse that is the Avs. On the other hand, Scott Wedgewood has had a difficult time this season. Especially on the road, where he posts a 4.71 GAA and a 1-3-0 record. The over has hit in five straight Avs road games. With Colorado scoring 4.01 goals per game and Ottawa averaging 3.05, I like our chances of a high-scoring matchup tonight.

    Over/Under
    Picked: Nov 12 @ 2:23pm

    Analysis

    Since making the move to New Jersey, Connor Hellebuyck’s worst appearances have been at home where he allowed four and three goals against the Blues and Oilers, respectively. Meanwhile, 10/12 of Logan Thompson’s appearances this season have ended with at least six goals, as have 11 of the last 12 Capitals games. Similarly, seven of the last eight Devils games have ended with at least six goals. With this total sitting at an even 6, I like the Over here tonight.
