Cade Cunningham OVER 26.5 Points, Rebounds, Assists (-112)

I’ve been rolling with Cunningham a lot lately, and although he’s struggled with his shot (33.5 percent from the field), he’s had some crazy usage so far this season. 

Cunningham’s usage rate is currently 25.3 percent this season, and he’s taking 14.1 shots per game while averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. That falls just below this number on his prop, but there is some value in Portland.

Over his last nine games, Cunningham has taken double-digit shots in each game, and he’s gone over this total in five of those nine games. He’s facing the league’s No. 29 defense tonight, and he should have plenty of opportunities as both a passer and scorer. I might sprinkle on his double-double prop (+600) as well. -- Peter Dewey

Cade Cunningham OVER 5.5 Assists (+120)

The Pistons are not a good basketball team, but Cade Cunningham has them playing the best they can. He runs the show and controls the offense, which makes me love this line for him. 

Outside of his performance against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, Cunningham had surpassed this line for nearly two weeks straight. A slow start to the season has his average below five games, but he has truly come on. Portland allows the second-most assists in the league, so there will be plenty of dimes for Cunningham to pick up. -- Donnavan Smoot

Patty Mills OVER 12.5 Points (-125)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's insane this line hasn't moved. Joe Harris is set to next month or two as he recovers from ankle surgery, officially moving Mills into the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. 

In six games as a starter, Mills is averaging close to 17 points per game on 56/52/100 shooting splits while taking more than 10 shots per game.

Keep betting this Mills over until the market adjusts. -- Reed Wallach

Fred VanVleet OVER 6.5 Assists (+100)

Fred VanVleet is averaging 6.5 assists per game, which is ironically the exact number that his assists total is set at WynnBET for tonight's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. So why do I like the OVER? Well, it's because no team gives up more assists than Memphis. The Grizzlies rank dead last in opponent assists per game and opponent assists per possession.

I don't know if it's the type of defense they play or if a team passing the ball around throws them out of sorts, but when players play against Memphis, they rack up the dimes. VanVleet recorded seven assists against the Grizzlies last week, so I'll bank on him getting it done again tonight. -- Iain MacMillan

Suns First Quarter (-1) vs. Warriors (-105)

At 18-2, it seems like Golden State likes to find a new challenge to win games each night. For as dominant as the Warriors have been all season, they can't seem to get going early on in games.

So far this year, the Warriors are 8-12 in first quarters ATS, and are 1-7 ATS away from San Francisco.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are 12-8 ATS in the first quarter, and while they've been more effective on the road (7-3), they're still 5-5 with a (1.1 ATS +/-) at home in the first.

Golden State is an underdog for only the third time all season, and are 2-0-0 ATS in this spot, but at least early on, I think PHX walks away covering the one-point spread. -- Ben Heisler
