Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 36.5 Points + Assists (-110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Cade Cunningham has been an exciting player to watch, especially in his recent outings. However, as he gears up to face the Orlando Magic, the under on his combined points and assists at 36.5 feels like the right play. Over his last five games, he's averaged 14.6 points and 8 assists-totals that simply don't align with that high mark. Even at home, where he typically performs better, Cunningham's numbers sit at 18.4 points and 11.6 assists-the math just doesn't add up. Moreover, he's faced the Magic before, averaging 30.4 combined points and assists in previous matchups, but those were inflated performances. With his recent hit rate at home standing at a perfect 4-for-4 on the under, we can expect a more conservative outing from him against a Magic team that's tough on defenses. It's a tantalizing bet to take, considering the trends and the stakes.

Andre Drummond (Philadelphia 76ers) Under 9.5 Rebounds (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Philadelphia 76ers head to Boston, all eyes will be on Andre Drummond, but betting on him to snag over 9.5 rebounds might not be the best play. Sure, Drummond has shown flashes of brilliance lately, averaging 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, but his away numbers tell a different story. On the road, he's only pulling down an average of 9 rebounds, and against the Celtics, that dips to 7.6. With Boston's formidable frontcourt, Drummond will likely face tough competition for boards, especially given his target of 9.5. In fact, he's hit the under in four of his last six away games, essentially a 66% hit rate that's hard to ignore. Considering these trends, it feels like a solid move to take the under on Drummond's rebounds in this matchup-there's just too much working against him.

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 26.5 Points (-114)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Cade Cunningham has been a dynamic force for the Pistons, but as they prepare to face the Orlando Magic at home, the numbers suggest a different story for him this time around. While he's been putting up impressive scoring numbers against various teams, averaging 30.4 points in his last five games against the Magic, recent trends indicate a shift. In his last five outings overall, he's managed just 14.6 points, and even at home, that average creeps up modestly to 18.4. With the offense evolving and perhaps a focus on distribution rather than heavy scoring, it's reasonable to expect Cunningham to fall short of the 26.5 mark. When he's hit that number recently, it's been against weaker defensive teams, and the Magic are known for their resilience. Considering all this, betting on the under feels like a savvy play as Cunningham continues to navigate this changing landscape.
