Cade Cunningham is not efficient, shooting just 40.5 percent from the field this season. However, his 30.8 percent usage rate has enabled him to average 21.4 points per game. In a difficult matchup against the Nuggets in his last game, he produced 27 points over 38 minutes. This is a stellar matchup against the Pacers, who have played at the fastest pace and have the worst defensive rating in the league. While this line is set higher than his season scoring average, the matchup should still help him hit the over.

The Pistons have themselves a building block in Ausar Thompson. The rookie has stormed out of the gate with averages of 11.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. He has stellar athleticism, which has helped him wreak havoc on defense. The Pacers have played at the fastest pace in the league, so that athleticism could also leave him with plenty of opportunities to attack the rim. In a similarly favorable matchup against the Hawks 10 day ago, Thompson scored 21 points over 35 minutes. Don’t be surprised if he blows past this over.
