NBA 2026-02-23 · Morning Edition LOSS

Spurs vs. Pistons

Cade Cunningham Over 25.5 Points

ANALYSIS

We are backing Cunningham to exceed 25.5 points as he enters this marquee matchup averaging 26.4 points over his last five games, highlighted by a massive 42-point performance against the Knicks on February 19. With the Pistons boasting a clean injury report and the Spurs missing key interior depth in Mason Plumlee, the league's 12th-leading scorer is positioned to maintain the high-volume usage that has propelled Detroit to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Key Data

0.34 market price vs. projected volume of 22+ shots; Spurs rank bottom-10 in POA defensive efficiency.

OUTCOME

Spurs 114 - Pistons 103

Victor Wembanyama recorded 21 points on February 23, 2026, against the Detroit Pistons. Since 21 points is less than the prop line of 22.5, the bet is a loss.
