In game three the New York Knicks had four players score over twenty points, including OG Anunoby. Being aggressive in first quarters has sparked Anunoby’s success on cashing over in two of the three playoff games thus far. In game one he scored twelve first quarter points, and game three ten. Expect a more balanced effort for four quarters from Anunoby, as he eclipses his points prop for the third time in this series.

Cade Cunningham wasn't aggressive enough in Game 3, as he shot just three free throws. And he missed 15 of his 25 field-goal attempts. But the main thing is that his volume continues to be there. He has taken 21, 21 and 25 shots while playing 39, 42 and 42 minutes. After two full days of rest, and facing a virtual must-win, look for the Pistons to play Cunningham 40 to 44 minutes. Expect Cunningham to get to the foul line more often and score at least 28.
These teams played largely bonkers games in the regular season and have been playing wild games for a few years now. Two of the three games in this series have been played in the 230s. Both of these teams are offensive-driven, led by shot-taking stars. They last 12 meetings before this series started were going 221+. Playoffs will lead to more defense and different officiating, but i can see both of these teams getting to 110. This series is being played at the third-fastest pace this far in the playoffs, just a smidge under IND/MIL in terms of possessions. Knicks defensive reputation keeping this number much lower than that series, but the Pistons get good looks vs Knicks and Cade Cunningham can have their number.
