Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Over 1.5 Threes Made (-167)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Cade Cunningham for over 1.5 threes made is supported by several key statistics. Firstly, Cunningham's average number of three-point field goals made in the last five away games is 1.6, already higher than the over point of 1.5. This suggests his performance on the road tends to exceed this threshold. Furthermore, when playing against the Knicks specifically at away games, his average for three-point field goals rises to 2.4, reinforcing the expectation he can surpass 1.5. Although his general average for threes made is lower (0.8 overall and vs. opponent), the specific circumstances of this game - an away match against the Knicks - align with situations where Cunningham has historically performed better in terms of three-point shots. Thus, the stats support betting on over 1.5 threes made for Cunningham.

New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons : Detroit Pistons Under 119.5 Team Total Points (-556)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on 'Detroit Pistons Under 119.5' is a statistically sound choice considering the Pistons' recent performance. Over their last five games, the Pistons have averaged a team score of 103.6 points overall and 105.2 points when playing away. Both these averages are significantly lower than the 119.5-point mark of this bet. Moreover, their overall and away records in the last five games are quite poor (1-4), indicating a struggling offensive performance. The model prediction further supports this bet, forecasting a total of only 107.23 points for the Pistons. These factors combined suggest that the Detroit Pistons are unlikely to score over 119.5 points in the upcoming game against the New York Knicks, making this a good bet.
