Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 36.5 Points + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Cade Cunningham has been a dynamic force for the Pistons, but there's a compelling case to take the under on his combined points and assists total of 36.5 against the Orlando Magic. While he's excelled at home lately, averaging 18.4 points and 11.6 assists in his last five games, those numbers are inflated by a couple of standout performances. In fact, his recent outings against Orlando suggest he's more likely to hover around 30 total points and assists, considering he only averaged 26.4 points and 8.2 assists at home against them. With an impressive 4-for-4 hit rate in his last four games, it seems the pressure of this matchup might stifle his usual production. Look for Cunningham to face tough defensive schemes, making the under a smart play here as he may just fall short of that lofty total.

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Cade Cunningham. But here's the kicker: betting on him to score under 26.5 points feels like a savvy play. Over the last five games, Cunningham's numbers have dipped significantly, averaging just 14.6 points overall and 18.4 at home. While he has had a few standout moments against the Magic, notably averaging 30.4 points in their last encounters, expect a reversion to the mean here. His recent form suggests he simply isn't in the rhythm required to hit that lofty mark, with an expected stat value of just 20.5. Plus, he's been consistent in hitting the under at home lately, hitting it in all four of his last home games. With a slight implied probability favoring the under at 52.4%, the smart money leans towards Cunningham finishing below 26.5 points.

Cade Cunningham is stepping onto the court at home against the Orlando Magic, but this matchup might not play out as a facilitator's dream. Despite his recent surge in assists, averaging 11.6 at home, his performances against the Magic have been less impressive, with just 8.2 assists in their previous home encounters. Let's look closer: while he's hit the over in four of his last five games, that includes some outliers against weaker defenses. The Magic have a knack for disrupting play, limiting guards like Cunningham to an average of 10.4 assists in their last five meetings. With his expected stat value hovering around 8.75, we're leaning toward the under on 10.5 assists. The numbers suggest that even in front of the home crowd, Cunningham might find it tough to distribute the ball against a tenacious Orlando defense.
