Pistons vs Spurs Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets for February 21: Bet on Cade Cunningham Hitting Over 26.5 Points

The San Antonio Spurs’ potential playoff push has taken a dramatic turn with the news that Victor Wembanyama is out for the season. They will try to make it two in a row since the devastating news when they host the Detroit Pistons on Friday in Austin. Fortunately for us, there are still loads of quality NBA player prop bets to make.

 

Pistons vs Spurs Prediction

Detroit hasn’t played since before the break while San Antonio is finishing up a back-to-back. That huge disparity in rest will play into most of our decisions. And while the Spurs were operating on adrenaline in the wake of the Wemby news on Thursday, it will be hard to duplicate that spirit 24 hours later: Pistons 124, Spurs 115

 

Let’s survey the Pistons vs Spurs betting lines to find the best wagers.

Pistons vs Spurs 2 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Cade Cunningham Over 26.5 Points (-110)

Cunningham went into the break with a 29-point effort in a win over Chicago and is averaging exactly that number – 29.0 – over his last 12 games. He ranks fifth in the NBA in made shots between 5-9 feet, an area that would normally be made more difficult by the presence of someone like Wemby. Expect Cunningham, who amazingly has never faced the Spurs, to attack early and often and continue his rise to superstardom.

2. Jalen Duren Over 12.5 Rebounds (-103)

Using the same logic as the Sochan pick above, someone will benefit on the boards with no Wemby and perhaps no. Duren had 14 boards in his final game before the break and is averaging 12.1 over his last 15.

Pistons vs Spurs Moneyline Pick

We love a rested Pistons squad that went into the break with four straight wins to overwhelm a Spurs crew playing two games in as many nights in a different home arena (Moody Center in Austin.)

Bet on Pistons ML (-180)

 

Pistons vs Spurs Spread Pick

The hometown (sort of) crowd will keep the Spurs close for a bit, but Detroit is a great NBA pick here. During its 6-2 run before the break its wins were by an average of 17.3 points while the two losses were by an average of 2.5.

Bet on Pistons -4.5

 

Pistons vs Spurs Over/Under Pick

Detroit is also scoring in bunches during its hot stretch, averaging 124.3 points in the team’s four-game winning streak. A likely tired Spurs team without its best defensive weapon will have a hard time slowing down one the better running teams in the league.

Bet on Pistons vs Spurs Over 235.5
