🏀 76ers vs. Pistons Player Props Tonight: Cade & Top Picks
📡 SBR Intel: 76ers vs. Pistons Player Props Tonight
My 76ers vs. Pistons player props tonight open with VJ Edgecombe Under 19.5 points (-118). The 76ers' star rookie faces a Pistons team that is ranked first in the Eastern Conference in defensive efficiency. My next NBA best bet is Cade Cunningham Over 10.5 assists (+110). We get plus money on the Over, even though he has cashed this prop in three of his last five games.

💰 Best 76ers vs. Pistons prop bet
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
VJ Edgecombe Under 19.5 points (-118)
I would usually directionally want to bet the Over on a player when his team's top three scorers are out, but the situation doesn't call for it tonight in Detroit.
The Pistons are ranked second in the NBA in defensive efficiency, and since this is an Eastern Conference matchup, they're ranked first in the East. Edgecombe's career high against the Pistons is 18 points - and Joel Embiid and Paul George also missed that game. BetMGM lists VJ Edgecombe Under 19.5 points at -118, but this bet is good up to -135 at the best sports betting sites.
🔥 More 76ers vs. Pistons prop picks
The Pistons have the seventh-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Cade Cunningham Over 10.5 assists (+110)
I usually try to avoid betting player props when the best line is available at FanDuel - as they're one of the best books at pricing props - but I believe the market is undervaluing Cunningham.
His median assist total is 12 since the All-Star break, and he's recorded 13 or more assists in each of his last three games as a double-digit favorite. Cunningham Over 10.5 assists is +110 at FanDuel, but I would still play it at the best NBA betting sites up to -105.

🎟️ Most-bet NBA player props tonight
Here's my analysis of the most-bet NBA player props tonight (h/t BetMGM):
| Player | Team | Bet | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Giddey | Bulls | Over 16.5 rebounds + assists | -150 |
| Ajay Mitchell | Thunder | Over 19.5 points + rebounds + assists | -130 |
| Pelle Larsson | Heat | Over 7.5 rebounds + assists | -120 |
| Isaiah Joe | Thunder | Under 14.5 points + rebounds | -125 |
| Cam Johnson | Nuggets | Under 9.5 points | -130 |
Josh Giddey Over 16.5 rebounds + assists makes sense, as he's gone over this number in four straight games.
The Lakers are an 11-point betting favorite, though, so you do run the risk of Giddey playing fewer minutes if Los Angeles takes a large lead into the fourth quarter. I would wait until LeBron James' status is announced before playing this Over, as I believe it's less likely that the Lakers will rout the Bulls if James returns.

💡 How I'm betting 76ers vs. Pistons
I'm allocating 2.09 units for this game because, while I'm confident directionally in these plays, these lines aren't priced too far off from where I'd personally set them. This is the usual amount I would bet on two player props, but I would consider risking up to 2.5 units on a bet if I believed there were a larger edge.
This game will probably get out of hand early, with the Pistons a 15.5-point betting favorite, but I'm still confident in Cunningham recording 11+ assists in the first three quarters.
