Cade Cunningham is putting together a monstrous season for the Pistons, and although they’ll enter as rank outsiders against the Knicks, he’s capable of another big game.
Best Bet
Detroit Pistons @ New York Knicks (11:40am)
Numbers are off the charts this season. Cade Cunningham averages 23.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 9.1 assists – a PRA of 40 per game.
From Cunningham’s last six games, he’s averaging a PRA of 42 covering this line in five of those games. The Knicks are conceding assists to point guard 8% above average over the last month, while also conceding points 4% above average. Recording double-digits assists in seven of his last eight games, I’m expecting a big stat line for Cade.
SGM – Cunningham Over 38.5 PRA / Towns 12+ Rebounds / Hart Under 6.5 Assists = $4.33
Next Best
OKC Thunder @ New Orleans Pelicans (11:10am)
Appears he players better with better players around him, taking a bit of defensive attention away from him.
With this in mind, this is a low points line for Brandon Ingram. In his first game back from injury, BI went big against the Suns with 29 points in 37 minutes.
When playing alongside CJ and Dejounte this season on-court, Ingram is averaging 26.9 points per 36 minutes – the highest on the Pelicans roster playing with this combination. The Thunder are quality and will unleash their defensive guards, but Ingram has covered this line in 11 of his 17 games this season and I think he’ll be the offensive avenue for New Orleans.
SGM – Thunder / Ingram Over 18.5 Points / Hartenstein 10+ Points = $4.20
Value Bet
Denver Nuggets @ Washington Wizards (11:10am)
The rookie Frenchman continues to struggle from the field, but other numbers are on the improve including his rebounding.
Sarr averages 7.7 rebounds from his last seven games, covering his line of 5.5 in five of those while recording 8+ in four of them including the last two games.
I think we’ll see Sarr’s minutes creep into the 30s here as well – not because Washington will be competitive as they’re horrific, but due to available personnel with five rotation players out. Could see Sarr step-up in their absence.
SGM – Sarr 6+ Rebounds / Porter 6+ Rebounds / Poole 6+ Assists = $4.00
