Best Cade Cunningham Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Cade Cunningham O 25.5 Points (-125)
The Pistons need to beat the Knicks tonight to stay alive for the No.5 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks currently hold that spot and are only two games ahead of Detroit. The Pistons should be highly motivated tonight and as always, Cunningham should lead the way for his club.
The guard is on the heels of a 35-point showing vs. the Kings on Monday and he is averaging 27.8 PPG in his 18 starts since the All-Star break. Cunningham has cleared 25.5 points in 11 of these 18 games and he is handling a 34.6% usage rate during this stretch. This usage ranks fifth in the NBA since the All-Star break and is a sizeable increase from the 32.6% usage Cunningham was seeing before the recess.
Cunningham has exposed the Knicks for 29 and 36 points in his last two matchups with the club, and New York should be weaker on defense tonight, with both OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) out. In this spot, Cunningham should have no issues exceeding 25.5 points.
