NBA Props Picks: Cunningham Curry and Coulibaly
Six exciting NBA matchups are scheduled for tonight, providing a wealth of opportunities to savvy punters who want to profit from player performances. From **Cade Cunningham’s assist potential** in Detroit to **Steph Curry’s three-point prowess** in Philadelphia and **Bilal Coulibaly’s increased role** in Washington, there’s plenty to analyze.
Cade Cunningham Over 9 Assists (Bet365: 115)
* **Matchup:** Brooklyn Nets vs. Detroit Pistons, 7 p.m. ET
It may seem simple, but betting that Cade Cunningham will exceed 9.5 assists can be a winning play. Cunningham, the Detroit Pistons’ engine for their offensive success is showing signs of improvement. After a recent loss to Nuggets which ended the Pistons’ eight-game streak of wins, they will look to bounce back when facing the Brooklyn Nets.
Cunningham’s playmaking abilities were consistently on display in February. He had 10 or more assist games out of 11 total. The combination of his 9.5 assist average and 26 double doubles in 54 starting games highlights Cunningham’s consistency. Cunningham has plenty of assist chances when the Pistons are expected to score high. This +115 offered by bet365 is an excellent value considering that other sportsbooks only list lines as low as the -106.
Consider a bonus bet on FanDuel: **Cunningham to Record a Double-Double and the Pistons to Win (+118)**.

### Stephen Curry Made 4.5 Threes Over (-120 on FanDuel).
* **Matchup:** Golden State Warriors vs. Philadelphia 76ers, 8:30 p.m. ET – TV: ABC
Following a monumental 56-point performance against the Orlando Magic, where he hit 12 of 19 three-pointers – just one shy of his career best – it’s hard to ignore **Stephen Curry’s potential to drain five or more threes** against the 76ers.
Philadelphia 76ers struggle, particularly with Joel Embiid’s absence. It’s clear that the nine-game loss streak is a sign of an undermotivated team. Golden State Warriors have gained momentum in recent games, winning 7 of 8. Curry has a good chance to hit at least five 3-pointers this season for the twentieth time.
Curry’s recent hot streak, and the matchup’s favorable nature make this a bet worth considering.

### Bilal Coulaby Over 14.5 points (-113 on FanDuel).
* **Matchup:** Washington Wizards vs. Charlotte Hornets, 6 p.m. ET
Bilal Coulibaly’s increased role as an offensive player is the reason why you should bet on him to score 15 or more points. Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Poole are both out. Moreover, in February the Wizards dealt Kyle Kuzma – another player with a high usage rate – allowing Coulibaly to have even more opportunity.
Coulibaly, since the Kuzma deal, has scored more than 15 points four times in nine games. Recent performances include 20 and 16 point scores in the two most recent games. Coulibaly has a good chance to score 15 points against the Charlotte Hornets. They are struggling on defense at this time.
Ladder bets can offer higher returns. Betting on **Coulibaly to score 20+ points (+300 at DraftKings)** could offer a significant payout. In two games this season he has attempted 20 field goals, and scored 19 or 17 points.
