Cade Cunningham best prop bets for Pacers at Pistons

Cunningham has ascended in his fourth season, posting career-highs across the board in points, blocks, assists, rebounds, and FG%. He’s been the driving force behind the Pistons’ turnaround this season, leading them to a 21-19 record in the East as the 7th seed. His scoring and playmaking abilities have taken another leap, and he looks poised for his first All-Star appearance at this rate.

Tonight he’ll take on the Indiana Pacers who may be without their point guard, Tyrese Haliburton. Cunningham has been on a tear lately, averaging 26.2 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 8.4 APG in his last ten games. He’s got the second-highest DraftKings fantasy points projections tonight amongst all point guards, trailing only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Here are some of the best Cade Cunningham prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thursday’s matchup:

Best Cade Cunningham Prop Bet

PTS + REB + AST 41.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): This season, Cunningham is averaging 40.5 PTS + REB + AST. In his past ten games, he’s averaging 39.9, a hair under his O/U tonight in this department. While the Pacers are a subpar defense, clocking in at 21st in the league, they do a good job of limiting opponent rebounds. They’re 11th in the fewest opponent total rebounds per game, and around average in the fewest opponent total assists per game.

His 40.5 line here feels extremely close. While Cunningham’s past ten games are below his 40.5 line, his past five games have been a bit better, with a 41.4 O/U. Regardless, neither of these averages crack his demanding O/U line tonight, and especially given the Pacers’ stubbornness in not conceding rebounds and assists at a high rate, I feel good about going Under.
