In the final NBA matchup of the night, Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons visit the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Detroit has upped its offensive game recently, and Cunningham is at the centre of it. For Saturday’s matchup, I have Cunningham and Jusuf Nurkic in a +230 SGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Over 219.5 points + Cunningham over 34.5 points\/rebounds\/assists + Nurkic under 10.5 rebounds (+230)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 219.5 points <\/strong>(-190):<\/strong> Detroit’s over\/under record this year is an even split (14-14-0), but the team has played a more offence-friendly brand of hoops in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over their past 10 games, the Pistons have the eighth-fastest pace in the NBA. The over is 7-3 in those matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Phoenix, this is a number the team comfortably clears on the regular. At this point total, overs are 19-7 in Suns games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix is ninth in the NBA in effective field goal percentage (59.6%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cunningham over 34.5 PRA (-240):<\/strong> He’s not always the most efficient shooter, but Cunningham is the Pistons’ top player. And he’s on a tear right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 17 games since Nov. 4, check out what the former No. 1 overall pick has been up to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 23.8 points\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 8.0 rebounds\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 10.7 assists\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Six triple-doubles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 35+ PRA in 14\/17 matchups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Phoenix allows the second-fewest assists per game to opposing point guards, per Betting Pros. But if Cunningham goes cold as a facilitator, I know he can affect the game in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the season, Cunningham has a 30.0% usage rate. That ranks 11th among players and is in the same range as Nikola Jokic, Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nurkic under 10.5 rebounds<\/strong> (-124):<\/strong> The Pistons are a solid rebounding team, and I don’t like this matchup for Nurkic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Detroit allows …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 8th-fewest rebounds per game<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 5th-fewest rebounds to opposing centres<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 7th-lowest rebound rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      At 7 feet, Nurkic is taller than anyone the Pistons will play against him in the post. But that’s not the only data point to consider, and Detroit has proven itself to be a tough team to rebound against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Nurkic has gone under 10.5 rebounds in three of his past four games \u2014 and 11 of 19 on the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
