Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Leg 1#: Cavaliers Team Total Over 107.5 Points (-108)
Cleveland’s offense has been practically unstoppable at home during the postseason, averaging an NBA-high 118 points per game (tied with Oklahoma City) and scoring at least 112 points in every game.
Detroit has a tough defense, but the Cavaliers have still averaged 115 points over the last three games. They'll score at least 108 in this one.
Leg #2: Evan Mobley Over 14.5 Points (-132)
Evan Mobley averaged 18.2 points per game in the regular season and has gone over tonight's total in seven out of 12 playoff games - Five against Toronto and the last two against Detroit.
Donovan Mitchell and James Harden will be the primary concerns for the Pistons’ defense. Thus, giving Mobley ample opportunity to come through for his team in an elimination game at home.
Leg #3: Evan Mobley Over 8.5 Rebounds (+112)
Evan Mobley hauled in eight rebounds in each of the last three games and nine in Game 1 (but only one in Game 2). I'm a little hesitant because I expect Detroit to step up on defense tonight, and Mobley was 2-2 in regular-season games versus the Pistons.
If this prop had minus-money odds, I'd say pass, but I like the value at +112.
Parlay Odds: +416 - A $100 wager will result in a $516 payday; your stake plus $416 in winnings.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Leg #1: Spurs -5.5 (-112)
The Spurs are coming off another massive win at home, beating the Timberwolves by 29 points in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
Minnesota will be pulling out all the stops to get a win and force a Game 7 back in San Antonio. But the Spurs are the better of the two teams. With the Western Conference Finals in sight, the Spurs are not going to waste the opportunity in front of them.
It will not be another blowout, but the Spurs will cover this relatively small spread.
Leg #2: Over 218.5 Points (-110)
Four of the five games in this series have finished over this total, and I expect tonight will make it five out of six. Minnesota hasn't really shown it can slow down the Spurs, but it has been able to score points itself.
Both teams averaged 118+ points per game during the regular season. With what's at stake tonight, we'll see a more intense effort from both teams, resulting in a higher-scoring game.
Leg #3: Victor Wembanyama Over 13.5 Rebounds (-106)
In the four games he has finished in this series, Victor Wembanyama pulled down 15, 15, 15 and 17 boards. He only pulled down four in Game 4 because he was ejected 12 minutes in.
If Wembanyama finishes this game and continues to log heavy minutes per game (averaging 34 minutes when you exclude Game 4), Minnesota can't stop him from another massive day on the boards.
Parlay Odds: +515 - A $100 wager will result in a $615 payday; your stake plus $515 in winnings.
