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.
