Expert picks and predictions for Wednesday’s Pistons vs. Nets game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas ( @MrBradThomas ) expects Cade Cunningham to have a night: Cade Cunningham OVER 26.5 points (+110)
“Cunningham has been through that in back-to-back games. In both games he’s taken 23+ shots. With Jaden Ivey out, it looks like Cunningham’s shot volume will increase. Also, he has a favorable matchup against Brooklyn and should continue be aggressive and look for your shot.”
