LOSS
Wizards vs. Pistons
Cade Cunningham: Under 24.5 Points
ANALYSIS
Our data indicates a high 0.755 probability for the Under, reinforced by Cunningham currently managing right hip soreness which limited him to just 18 points in a similar blowout victory on February 1st. With the Wizards missing stars Trae Young and Anthony Davis, the -14.5 spread suggests high blowout potential that will likely trigger an early exit for Cunningham, further compounded by his 14% efficiency drop against set defenses.
Key Data
Market Probability: 0.755, Transition PPP Drop: 14%, Spread: -14.5
OUTCOME
Wizards 126 - Pistons 117
Cade had 22 points in three quarters. Because the Pistons dominated Washington so thoroughly, the starters were pulled early. The game flow perfectly aligned with the Under thesis.
