As Cade Cunningham prepares to take the court against the Orlando Magic, a closer look at his recent performances reveals a compelling case for the Under on his combined points and assists total of 36.5. While Cunningham has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 14.6 points and 8 assists in his last five games, his overall trend suggests a more modest output-especially at home, where he's netting just 18.4 points and 11.6 assists. Facing the Magic, he's averaged 26.4 points and 8.2 assists at home, which puts him well below that lofty total. With a solid hit rate of four consecutive unders, it seems the pressure of the matchup might stifle his production. All signs point to a night where Cunningham's contributions might not reach the heights we expect, making the Under an enticing play for this matchup.

As the 76ers face off against the Celtics, all eyes will be on Andre Drummond-and not just because of his big presence in the paint. Targeting the under on his rebounds at 9.5 feels like the smart play here. While Drummond has averaged a solid 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, his away numbers tell a different story, dipping to 9 per game. What's more, when up against the Celtics specifically, he's only managed an average of 7.6 boards in their recent matchups, and that's consistent both at home and on the road. With Boston's aggressive defensive scheme, minimizing Drummond's opportunities to crash the glass will be key. Given that he's hit the under in four of his last six away games, it's hard to ignore the value here. Expect him to struggle to reach that 9.5 mark in this tough road matchup.
Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 26.5 Points (-114)

As the Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham, but a closer look suggests a compelling case for taking the under on his points total of 26.5. Despite a strong average of 30.4 points in his last five games against the Magic, Cunningham's recent form has seen him average just 14.6 points overall and 18.4 at home. With the pressure of expectations at home, he might not find the same rhythm he enjoyed earlier in the season.Moreover, the last four matchups have shown a clear trend-he's hit the under consistently, which aligns with his current average expected value of 20.5 points. The Pistons are facing a Magic team that can be tough defensively, especially on the perimeter. So, while many might expect a scoring explosion, the numbers whisper a different narrative: a calculated bet on Cunningham to fall short of that 26.5 mark.
