Tonight’s matchup features the Detroit Pistons hosting the Indiana Pacers, presenting a challenging scenario for Cade Cunningham in the assists department. The Pacers have exhibited strong defensive prowess, ranking sixth-fewest in assists allowed over the past 10 games, along with limiting three-pointers made. With sharpshooter Simone Fontecchio’s availability uncertain, Cunningham’s task becomes even more daunting.
Despite Cunningham’s recent success in surpassing the 7.5 assists mark in six of his last seven games, tonight’s matchup against Indiana presents unique challenges. In his three encounters with the Pacers this season, Cunningham has averaged 6.7 assists per game in 35 minutes of play. Additionally, with Isaiah Stewart sidelined for the Pistons, Cunningham may prioritize scoring over facilitating, potentially impacting his assist totals.
It’s worth noting that only Caris LeVert and Luka Doncic have managed to surpass 7.5 assists against the Pacers in their recent matchups. Considering these factors, backing Cunningham to fall short of this threshold appears to be a prudent play.
