    Tristan da Silvapr
    under8.5—

    Unanimous agreement across all three analysts. Season avg of 13.0 PR but Under in L6/19 games. DET's 2nd-best defensive rating suppresses volume. Notable forward comps vs DET are low (Cain 7, Vanderbilt 8). Orlando missing Franz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac adds uncertainty to role distribution — could inflate da Silva's usage (noted by Koerner), which tempers confidence to MEDIUM rather than HIGH.

    Jalen Suggsra
    under9.5—

    Unanimous high-confidence agreement. Suggs averages 9.3 RA on the season (Under in L11/20 games). His own notable comp vs DET was 14 RA, but that is one game; the season trend supports the under. DET's elite defense and projected low total (188) further suppress his counting stats.

    Jalen Suggspa
    under19.5—

    Unanimous agreement. Under in L4 STRAIGHT games and L13/20 on the season with avg of 17.7 PA. Both the recent streak and the season-long rate strongly support the under. DET's defense and projected blowout further cap Suggs's PA output.

Desmond Banepa
under22.5—

Unanimous high-confidence agreement. Bane averages 21.6 PA on the season (Under L10/20). His notable comp vs DET was 18 PA. DET's 2nd-best defense and projected low total (188) with projected blowout further suppress his scoring/assist combination.

—
Desmond Banepr
under23.5—

Unanimous high-confidence agreement. Bane averages 23.1 PR on the season (Under L12/20). His notable comp vs DET was 20 PR. The defensive matchup strongly favors the under.

—
Desmond Banera
under7.5—

Unanimous high-confidence agreement. Under in L5 STRAIGHT games with avg 5.8 RA, and Under L13/20 on the season (avg 7.3). Both the recency and season-long trend are strongly aligned. Bane's notable comp vs DET was 4 RA.

—
Jamal Cainpr
under9.5—

Unanimous agreement, though this pick is connected to the same player as Pick 4 (Cain RA UNDER). Season avg of 12.5 PR (Under L6/17). His notable comp vs DET was 7 PR, well below the line. DET's elite defense supports the under. Slight caution warranted given Cain's recent hot streak in RA, which may reflect broader usage elevation.

—
Jamal Cainpa
under6.5—

Unanimous agreement. Season avg of 9.9 PA (Under L6/17). His notable comp vs DET was 5 PA. DET defense suppresses output. Same caveat as Pick 8 — recent usage elevation for Cain is a mild concern, but the PA line at 6.5 has enough cushion given his DET comp of 5 PA.
