Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 36.5 Points + Assists (-112)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to face the Magic, all eyes are on Cade Cunningham, but the numbers suggest he might struggle to hit the mark. While he's been a solid contributor at home, averaging 18.4 points and 11.6 assists over his last five games, we're banking on him falling short of that lofty 36.5 combined total. Cunningham's recent form against the Magic showcases a different story; in their past encounters, he's averaged just 26.4 points and 8.2 assists at home. With an expected stat value of 27.09, it's clear he's been underwhelming compared to the line set for this matchup. Plus, he's hit the under in each of his last four games. As the home crowd cheers him on, we might see a push for contributions elsewhere, making the under a compelling play in this high-stakes game.

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Cade Cunningham has been a bright spot for the Pistons, but as we gear up for this clash against the Orlando Magic, the under on his points, rebounds, and assists total of 42.5 is worth a look. While he's averaged a solid 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 11.6 assists at home, recent trends suggest a dip in production. Over his last five games, he's only managed around 14.6 points and 4 rebounds per contest. Even in favorable matchups, his numbers against the Magic indicate he tends to fall short of the mark, with an average of 26.4 points at home against them. Plus, with a hit rate of 4-for-4 on the under in his last four games overall, it seems like Cunningham might struggle to hit that 42.5 threshold. Let's consider the under as a smart play in this matchup.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the 76ers gear up to face the Celtics, all eyes are on Andre Drummond, but this might be a classic case of too much hype. While Drummond has been a rebounding machine this season, averaging just over 11 boards in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. He's hit the under on 9.5 rebounds in four of his last six road games, averaging only 9 rebounds in that stretch. Against the Celtics, he's been even less effective, pulling down just 7.6 boards in their last few encounters. With Boston's formidable frontcourt putting pressure on the glass, it's hard to see Drummond exceeding that mark. Given his recent form and the challenges of playing in TD Garden, targeting the under on Drummond's rebounds feels like a savvy play. Let's ride this trend and expect him to fall short of 9.5 on Sunday.

Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) Under 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Hawks head into Madison Square Garden, targeting Jalen Johnson for under 17.5 combined rebounds and assists makes a lot of sense. Although he's been solid recently, averaging 11.2 boards and 5.2 assists over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story. On the road, he's averaging just 10 rebounds and 7.4 assists, which already puts him below our target line. Moreover, when facing the Knicks, Johnson's contributions dip even further, with his last five games against them yielding just 9.8 rebounds and 6 assists on average. With the stakes high in this matchup, the Knicks are known for their tough defense, which could stifle Johnson's production. Given an expected stat value of just 14.33, it's hard to see him crossing that threshold. All signs point to a solid play for the under here.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 34.5 Points + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Rockets, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but I'm leaning towards an intriguing play on the Under for his combined points and assists at 34.5. Sure, LeBron has a knack for lighting up the scoreboard, but recent trends suggest he might not hit that lofty mark tonight. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 23 points and 9.2 assists, both figures well below our threshold. At home, the numbers dip further, with averages of 19 points and 8.8 assists. Historically, against the Rockets, he's posted 20.2 points and 5.8 assists, but don't forget, at home, those numbers climb to just 26.6 points and 7.4 assists. With an impressive hit rate of 11 out of his last 12 home games going under this line, it's wise to consider the Under as a strong play tonight.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham. However, betting the under on his combined points and rebounds at 32.5 is the savvy move. Despite the flash of his potential, Cunningham has averaged only 14.6 points and 4 rebounds over his last five games. Even at home, where he's seen a slight uptick to 18.4 points and 6.4 rebounds, those numbers still land him well under the mark we're targeting.Against the Magic, he's found some success in the past, averaging 30.4 points across their last five matchups; however, those numbers can be deceiving. His recent form indicates a trend that doesn't support a heavy workload tonight. Given his current stats and the Pistons' overall dynamics, it's a compelling case for the under. Expect a quieter game from Cunningham as he looks to navigate a tough Magic defense.
