FULL ANALYSIS
Pistons gutted without Cunningham's 24.5 pts/9.9 ast and Stewart's boards—model drops DET win prob to 51.5% (-16% from baseline). NO +4.5 covers 62% in similar injury spots (N=18). Total crushes under w/ missing creators projecting 218 total vs 226.5 line.
SHARP MONEY
Pistons -205 ML despite 3 key injuries (Cunningham 30% usage) vs NO only minor day-to-day; suggests sharp respect for depleted DET
