The Detroit Pistons are starting to figure it out, having won three of their previous four games. They went 3-1 on their West Coast trip, winning over the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, and Sacramento Kings. They host the 20-14 Orlando Magic tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Cade Cunningham has taken a big jump in every area of his game this season. He is averaging 24 points, 9.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game. All are career highs for Cunningham. Here is my favorite prop bet for Cade Cunningham against the Magic tonight.
Cade Cunningham over 8.5 assists (-135)
The most consistent area of Cunningham’s game is assisting his teammates. He has 15 games with double-digit assists this season. He has hit his over-in assists in 18 of 26 contests this year. His 9.7 assists per game is second in the NBA behind Trae Young (12.1). Cunningham has had nine or more assists in six of his last 10 outings.
Cunningham is -135 on DraftKings Sportsbook to record more than 8.5 assists against the Magic tonight. Although he only had eight assists in his last game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, he has bounced back well this season. Cunningham has had at least 13 assists in his previous three games after having fewer than 8.5 assists.
This season, Cunningham has the ninth-highest usage rating in the NBA of 31.5. That number continues to increase each week, with Cunningham having a 35 usage rating last week. The more the ball is in his hands, the more opportunities he has to get others involved or score himself.
