Magic vs. Pistons Player Prop: Tobias Harris
Tobias Harris Over 22.5 Points & Rebounds (-120)
The Pistons face off against the Magic as they try to stave off elimination in Game 5 tonight.
One player who has been consistent for the Pistons is Tobias Harris. He's able to create his own offense, which is sorely needed with Detroit’s struggles outside of Cade Cunningham.
Tobias has gone over this line in every game this series, and the rebounding has popped as well. He's averaging 7.5 rebounds per game on 13.8 chances; a significant uptick from the 5.1 on 10.1 chances during the regular season.
The Pistons have needed him to play a key role in the offense throughout this series. I expect that to continue in tonight's "win or go home" game for Detroit.
Pick: Tobias Harris Over 22.5 Points & Rebounds (-120)
Raptors vs. Cavaliers Player Prop: Donovan Mitchell
Donovan Mitchell Over 26.5 Points (-112)
Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers return to Cleveland for a pivotal Game 5, and the situational splits suggest a scoring bounce-back is on the horizon.
Mitchell has been significantly more productive at home than on the road this season—a trend that has held steady over his last three postseason runs.
Historically, Mitchell has cleared this 26.5 line in 11 of his last 12 home playoff games, showing he is clearly more comfortable playing in front of the home crowd.
His volume remains elite. Even though he has fallen short of this mark in the last two games, Mitchell hoisted 24 shots in Game 4 alone.
With the series tied at 2-2 and the home-court advantage back in Cleveland's favor, expect Mitchell to capitalize on that high usage in Game 5 tonight.
Pick: Donovan Mitchell Over 26.5 Points (-112)
