The Detroit Pistons enter Friday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets on an eight-game winning streak, their longest in 17 seasons. Their latest victory — a 117-97 statement win over the Boston Celtics — showed they are far from the team with historic shortcomings as recently as last season.
Now, they’ll aim to keep their momentum against the Nuggets, who are playing the second game of a back-to-back after losing 121-112 to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Cade Cunningham has been the engine behind Detroit’s resurgence, delivering elite production since the NBA All-Star break. He’s emerged as a nightly name to watch for betting opportunities.

Best Cade Cunningham Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Cade Cunningham over 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)
Cunningham has been on fire since the All-Star break, averaging 30.3 points, 10 assists and 6.7 rebounds over his last three games. He has elevated his playmaking and scoring, solidifying himself as the clear offensive leader for a red-hot Pistons team.
During the season, Cunningham is averaging 25.7 points, 9.5 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game. His ability to control the offense has remained evident. He’s in an intriguing position to exceed 43.5 combined points, rebounds and assists. Without elite rim protection, Detroit’s perimeter size, led by Cunningham, could present problems for the Nuggets’ defense.
Cunningham did fall short of this 43.5 threshold for combined points, rebounds and assists in his previous outing against the Celtics, totaling 21 points, four rebounds and 11 assists. However, he comfortably exceeded this mark in his two prior performances.
With Detroit riding its best stretch of basketball in years and Cunningham playing at an All-Star level, this matchup presents an excellent spot for him to clear 43.5 combined against a Denver team that will have its hands full.
