Grizzlies vs Pistons NBA Preview
I bet on Cade Cunningham to record 10+ assists in the Pistons' last few games now, and it has worked out pretty well so far, as he's recorded 10+ assists in three straight outings entering tonight.
Cunningham has been unbelievable in blowouts from an assist perspective — and while I'm not necessarily looking at the win-loss margin, I am looking at the closing line.
Right now, the Pistons are listed as around 15.5-point favorites against the Grizzlies, another team that simply isn't trying to win basketball games.
Cade recorded 13 assists in 28 minutes versus Philadelphia yesterday, and didn't even see the court in the fourth quarter.
Now, the Pistons play a tanking Memphis squad — and I'm expecting a similar result.
Grizzlies vs Pistons Predictions, Betting Analysis
I think this is a great opportunity for Cunningham to cruise over this assists prop.
Cade has been really good at setting up his teammates in these games where the Pistons are huge favorites.
Cunningham has gone over this line in 11-of-13 games in which the Pistons were double-digit favorites, basically averaging over 11 assists per game under those circumstances.
So, I really like the spot for him tonight.
Pick: Cade Cunningham 10+ Assists (-180)
