(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jalen Duran Under 12.5+ Points (-104)
We kick things off with a run back from Friday's selections. The points line dropped to 13 for this contest. Having said that, Jalen Duren has struggled mightily in this series, which could provide a small edge on the 13+ total points threshold against Orlando this afternoon.
Duren is averaging 9.8 points through the previous six games. The Pistons center finished with fewer than 13 points in all six games of this series against the Magic. Duren is averaging 10.3 points when at home in the postseason.
Duren is shooting a very respectable 52.3% from the field during this series. However, the Orlando Magic are swarming Duren off the pick and roll - effectively taking him out of the offense.
The young center scores almost 70% of his points from within the paint or restricted area, and it's been a struggle to find any consistent offense, being limited in that regard. Duren is averaging 7.3 field-goal attempts per game in the past six contests compared to 11.5 on the season.
Tobias Harris 18+ Points (-115)
Tobias Harris is playing at an extremely high level going into this contest. Harris has planted himself firmly as the second scoring option for Detroit throughout this series and will no doubt look to make his mark in Game 7 at home. The Pistons forward is putting up shots at a high volume, and we feel he can certainly finish this contest with at least 18 points.
Harris is averaging 20.2 points over six games for the Pistons in the playoffs. He has scored at least 18 points in four out of six postseason contests. The veteran forward is averaging 18.6 points per game through three playoff contests at home. Harris is averaging 17.2 shots each contest - over six more attempts than during the regular season (10.5).
Harris scored at least 18 points in seven out of nine games against the Orlando Magic this season. The crafty forward is averaging 20.6 points over that span. Harris is putting up 19.4 points on 47.4% shooting from the field in the last five games played at home against Orlando.
Duncan Robinson 3+ Made Three-Pointers (+101)
Duncan Robinson has been an absolute force from three-point range at home as of late. The Pistons will absolutely need the services of the sharp-shooting forward. Robinson is knocking down his fair share of three-point attempts in this series, and we like his chances to finish this contest with at least three made three-pointers.
The Pistons forward has attempted 15 three-pointers over the last two contests. Only four of his shots in the last two contests were from below the perimeter. Robinson has made at least three three-pointers in five out of six games in this series. The forward out of Michigan is shooting 40.5% from beyond the arc through six games.
Robinson has made at least three three-point baskets in five out of six games against Orlando. The Pistons forward hit three baskets from three-point distance in five consecutive games against Orlando at home. Robinson has finished with three successful attempts from above the perimeter in eight straight games when playing an Eastern Conference opponent at home.
Donovan Mitchell 30+ Points + Rebounds (-119)
There's no sense in messing about in this contest. The best offensive scoring option for Cleveland is going to look to score as much as possible to avoid a first-round exit. Donovan Mitchell is a candidate for ladder bets in this contest. However, we are going to play it somewhat safe and attack his combined points + rebounds prop in this contest.
Mitchell is averaging 30.5 points and 5.6 boards in his last five home games. The Cavaliers guard has finished with 30+ combined points + rebounds in four out of his last five contests at home. Mitchell has pulled down at least five boards in five consecutive contests.
The veteran guard is averaging 28.7 points and 4.6 boards when playing at home this season. Mitchell is averaging 23.3 points and 5.3 boards in his previous six games against the Toronto Raptors. Mitchell looks to be in a phenomenal spot to reach 30+ combined points + rebounds tonight in Cleveland.
Collin Murray-Boyles 14+ Points (+100)
Collin Murray-Boyles is coming off a 17-point performance against the Cavaliers on Friday and could be in line for another successful scoring night on the road in Game 7. The young forward has been on the floor for 66 minutes over the last two contests - nearly 12 minutes more compared to his season average of 21.9.
Murray-Boyles is averaging 15.5 points per game in this series. The Raptors forward is connecting on an incredible 66% of his attempts in the playoffs, while hoisting up an average of 9.8 shots each contest. Murray-Boyles scored at least 14 points in five out of six games in this series against Cleveland.
The glaring concern with this selection is the possible return of Brandon Ingram. Ingram was unable to play on Friday due to a heel injury. With Ingram back on the court, Murray-Boyles will more than likely lose opportunities to score. Make sure to check the BettingPros App for up-to-date information.
Nevertheless, the rookie out of South Carolina looks primed to clear 14+ points in this contest, considering his extremely efficient shooting in this series.
Enjoy the games throughout the day. Best of luck with your picks.
