The Detroit Pistons (-1.5, 212.5) and Los Angeles Clippers (-6.5, 212) are set to face off against the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets, respectively, both trying to avoid elimination in their playoff matchups on Thursday.

Despite being the underdogs, the Pistons extended their playoff run with a narrow victory of 106-103 in New York. Ausar Thompson, averaging 10.1 points this season, had an impressive game with 22 points in that matchup. According to current player props, Thompson has an over/under set at 9.5 total points for Game 6.

Simultaneously, Nikola Jokic, a player noted for his triple-double capabilities, sits at +100 odds on FanDuel Sportsbook to achieve his fourth triple-double during this series, making him an attractive option for prop bets.

Cade Cunningham Under 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)

Cunningham is inching closer to becoming an NBA superstar; should the Pistons rally from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Knicks, his status may be solidified. Although needed to perform effectively, his dominance in every game stat isn’t crucial. He previously recorded 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists in Game 5, slightly under the 43.5 PRAs total. His current average for the series stands at 25.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists with a projected 37.2 PRA total.

Dennis Schroder Over 9.5 Points (-127)

Despite reduced minutes in Game 5, Schroder managed to stay impactful, scoring 14 points and consistently exceeding double digits over recent games. The model forecasts he will hit around 11.3 points in Thursday’s game, presenting good value at -127 odds.

Christian Braun Over 10.5 Points (-130)

Braun has recently performed well, registering an average of 14 points in the last two games. He has a strong history, scoring at least 11 points in 32 of his last 41 road games. With the model projecting a total of 13 points for him on Thursday, he is likely a good pick for betters.
