Indiana Pacers vs Detroit Pistons Player Prop Picks 1/16/25 NBA Picks

Myles Turner Under 7.5 Rebounds

​​Myles Turner has been a solid rebounder for the Indiana Pacers during this season. He’s averaging 7.1 rebounds per game, which ranks him 37th in the league. His rebounding breakdown includes approximately 5.5 defensive rebounds and 1.5 offensive rebounds per game. In addition to his rebounding, Turner contributes 15.0 points and 1.6 assists per game, while shooting 48.9% from the field.

We've only seen Myles Turner secure over seven boards in just 2 of his last 10 games. Turner has another difficult matchup going against this Pistons team that only gives up 50.2 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is the fourth fewest in the league. His teammate Pascal Siakam is also a great rebounder and takes away a lot of opportunities for Turner to collect boards.

Cade Cunningham Over 24.5 Points

Cade Cunningham has been a standout performer for the Detroit Pistons during this NBA season. He’s averaging 24.5 points per game, ranking him 15th in the league. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 46.0% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.2%. Additionally, he maintains a free throw percentage of 79.8%. In a notable performance on January 11, 2025, Cunningham scored 40 points, along with six rebounds and nine assists, leading the Pistons to a 119-105 victory over the Toronto Raptors. His consistent scoring and playmaking abilities have been instrumental in the Pistons' performance this season.

The Pistons are one of the hotter teams in the NBA right now and a big reason for that is Cade Cunningham's performances on the offensive side of the ball. We've seen him score 30 or more points in four of his last six games. This Pacers team likes to play at a fast pace and we tend to see this team in high-scoring games. This should be another great spot for Cunningham to light up the scoreboard.

Pascal Siakam Over 19.5 Points

Pascal Siakam has been a consistent scorer for the Indiana Pacers. He has played in 40 games, averaging 19.9 points per game. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 52.1%, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%. Additionally, he maintains a free throw percentage of 74.8%. In a notable performance on January 7, 2025, Siakam scored 25 points on 12-of-16 shooting, including 1-of-4 from beyond the arc, and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Pacers' 108-96 win over the Golden State Warriors. 

It looks like Tyrese Haliburton is going to be out for this game against the Pistons which means this Indiana team will have to look at their second option to pick up the slack. We've seen Siakam score 20-plus points in three of his last four games. With the extra usage that will be put on him in this one, I expect Siakam to have another solid night scoring the ball.
