With the stakes high, expect a more controlled game, making the under a wise play for this matchup.

Cade Cunningham has been a dynamic force for the Pistons, but in this matchup against Orlando, it's worth considering the under on his assists total of 10.5. While he's been averaging a solid 11.6 assists at home recently, the stats reveal a nuanced story. In fact, when facing the Magic, his assist average drops to 8.2 at home, which suggests that Orlando's defense has a knack for limiting his playmaking abilities. Over the last five games, he's hit the under four out of five times, and his overall assist average against this opponent is just 10.4. Given that Cunningham's expected contribution in this game is closer to 8.75, it seems reasonable to suspect that he may fall short of that 10.5 mark, especially with the pressure of the home crowd behind him. So, taking the under could be a savvy play here.
