As the Detroit Pistons gear up to host the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Ausar Thompson, particularly for the points and rebounds prop set at 15.5. While his recent averages sit at 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds, it's important to note that Thompson has shown flashes of brilliance, especially at home, where he grabs an average of 5.6 boards.

He's been more effective against them, averaging 10.6 points and 7.4 rebounds recently.

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 7.5 Rebounds (-323)

As the Pistons gear up to face the Orlando Magic at home, all signs point to Cade Cunningham struggling to hit the boards. While Cunningham has shown moments of brilliance, his recent rebounding averages tell a different story-he's managed just 4.0 rebounds over his last five games, and even at home, he's only averaging 6.4. Against the Magic, where he's typically performed slightly better, his home average stands at 7.8. However, with a hit rate of just 10 out of his last 12 games for the under on 7.5 rebounds, and an implied probability of 76.3%, the odds seem stacked against him. This matchup suggests that Cunningham may find it tough to surpass 7.5, especially as the Pistons look to distribute the rebounding load more evenly. It's a solid play to go under here, banking on his recent performance trends continuing.
