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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to host the Magic, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham, but the numbers suggest this might be a night for moderation rather than fireworks. Despite his undeniable talent, Cunningham's recent performances reveal a trend that points toward an under on his combined points and assists total. Over his last five outings, he's averaging just 14.6 points and 8 assists-well below the 36.5 mark. At home, while he's improved slightly to 18.4 points and 11.6 assists, those figures still fall short when stacked against the competition. The Magic have proven to be a tough matchup for him, limiting his effectiveness, with his home averages dipping further to 26.4 points and 8.2 assists. With a perfect hit rate in the last four games, it seems prudent to lean toward the under, anticipating a more subdued outing for Cunningham in this one.

As the Pistons gear up to face the Magic, all eyes are on Cade Cunningham, but betting on him to score over 26.5 points might be a stretch. Sure, he's had some standout performances, averaging 30.4 points against Orlando recently, but those were on the road. At home, his output dips significantly to around 18.4 points over his last five games. With an expected value of just 20.5 points and a solid hit rate of 4 for 4 on the under recently, it's clear that Cunningham's scoring prowess is tempered in front of a home crowd. Even more telling is his performance against the Magic at home, where he's only averaged 26.4 points versus them. With the pressure of expectations and the way he's been trending, banking on the under here feels like a smart play.

When the Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham, but I'm leaning towards the under on his assists total of 10.5. Despite his talent, Cunningham has recently averaged just 8 assists over his last five games. And while he's been a bit more productive at home, posting 11.6 assists recently, the matchup against the Magic tells a different story. Historically, he's only managed about 8.2 assists in similar home encounters against Orlando. With the Pistons' offense often running through different avenues, there's a solid chance Cade's assist numbers won't hit double digits this time around. The model suggests an expected assist total of 8.75, which aligns nicely with the under. Given his recent trends and the matchup dynamics, it seems more prudent to bet against the over for Cunningham tonight.
