The Pistons are vising the Pelicans on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Detroit is favored by 7.5 points and this game carries a total of 223.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Cade Cunningham prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Cade Cunningham Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Cade Cunningham O 27.5 Points (-115)

The Pistons currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference, and they have a real chance to finish as high as the fourth seed. Every game is crucial for Detroit right now if they want to move up in the standings before the postseason. Cunningham has been putting the team on his back. The guard was unfairly ejected in his last game for only the second time in his career, but before this, Cunningham had scored over 27.5 points in five of his previous six starts. When excluding that rare ejection, Cunningham is averaging 27.7 PPG since the All-Star break.

Cunningham ranks ninth in the NBA in usage rate this season at 32% and Monday presents an elite matchup vs. the Pelicans. New Orleans ranks second-to-last in defensive efficiency this season and the Pistons carry the second-highest implied team total of the 20 NBA teams competing Monday at 120.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Cunningham has been a slightly more productive scorer on the road this season, and he should is a strong bet to eclipse 27.5 points Monday.
