Cade Cunningham best bet: Under 9.5 assists (-130 at bet365)

There is a reason oddsmakers are juicing this Under. The Over might be the more fun bet, the one encouraged to the casual viewer, but it is also the distinctly less likely winner.

Do not be scared of Unders in the postseason; they are more likely than ever.
