Cade Cunningham u28.5 Points Scored (-120)
The reality is, missing three weeks because of a collapsed lung was undoubtedly going to impact Cunningham’s conditioning, and the physical nature of the Magic defense has exacerbated that. Cunningham has shot 15-of-46 (32.6%) in the last two games, both Detroit losses. His 3-point shooting has fallen to 6-of-21 in those two games, 28.6%.
What is more exhausting, driving into the lane against a physical and long defense or chucking 3-pointers for much of the night? Based on his choices in the last two games, Cade Cunningham would rather live beyond the arc right now. Before his collapsed lung, he took 30.8% of his field-goal attempts from deep. In this series, it has jumped to 38.0%. In the last two games, it has been an even more alarming 45.7%. Cunningham should hit multiple 3-pointers simply because he is taking so many rather than getting to the rim, and that inefficient approach helps keep Orlando in every game.
Orlando has already won on the road in this series. It has firm control, and it knows the best time to clinch the series is as soon as possible. Given how suffocating the Magic defense has been — even the Pistons’ one win featured them scoring only 98 points — there is always value in a moneyline higher than +300.
