Mon Mar 17 23:10:00 UTC 2025: **Pistons Guard Cade Cunningham Aims for Big Night Against Pelicans**
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is looking to bounce back from a Saturday ejection with a strong performance against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. After a recent hot streak averaging over 28 points per game in seven games, Cunningham is aiming to surpass 27.5 points, according to sports analyst Phil Naessens.
Naessens, citing Cunningham’s improved field goal percentage and increased drives to the basket, predicts a big scoring night despite a recent slump in three-point shooting. He notes that the Pelicans’ weak defense, which has allowed an average of 121 points per game and 21 free throws over their last five games, favors Cunningham’s offensive style.
Naessens also predicts a strong performance from Pistons center Jalen Duren, anticipating he’ll exceed 13.5 points against the Pelicans’ vulnerable interior defense. He forecasts a Pistons victory based on these predictions and Detroit’s strong away record.
