Expert picks & predictions for Thursday Jazz vs. Pistons game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) expects Cade Cunningham to fill it up tonight: Cade Cunningham OVER 24.5 points (-105)
“Cunningham has been dynamite against the Jazz. He’s scored at least 25 points in all four of the games against the Jazz. He’s their leading scorer and playing against a Jazz team who give up a ton of points to scoring guards.”
