Top NBA player prop picks on Sunday
- Cade Cunningham, Pistons, Over 8.5 assists
- Max Strus, Cavaliers, Over 4.5 rebounds
- Paul Reed, Pistons, Over 12.5 points + rebounds
Cade Cunningham, Pistons, Over 8.5 assists
Cunningham has been an efficient facilitator throughout this series, averaging 8.3 assists per game. Cunningham, who ranked second in the NBA with 9.9 assists per game during the regular season, has finished with nine or more assists in each of his past two home games against Cleveland. The SportsLine Projection Model is expecting him to exceed his assist total tonight, projecting that Cunningham will finish with 9.6 assists on average, eclipsing the posted total of 8.5.
Max Strus, Cavaliers, Over 4.5 rebounds
“He’s now recorded at least five rebounds in 16/25 games this season, including 4/6 this series,” SportsLine expert Doug Kralstein reported. “With the Cavs entrusting him to defend Cade Cunningham (and he has acquitted himself well in that role), he is continuing to see closing time minutes. Needed on the floor offensively for floor spacing, the high-energy veteran should continue to make an impact in Game 7. Look for Strus to clear this prop in a game where I expect both teams to shoot slightly worse than usual.”
Paul Reed, Pistons, Over 12.5 points + rebounds
“Paul Reed did not play the first two games of this series,” SportsLine NBA expert Mike Barner pointed out. “Since then, he has become an important member of the Pistons’ second unit, surpassing Isaiah Stewart on the depth chart. Reed finished with 17 points and six rebounds in Game 6 and has at least 14 combined points and rebounds in each of the last four games. As the Pistons try to advance, Reed should remain in a similar role, making this over appealing.”
