The Cavaliers and Pistons continue their second-round series with Game 4 in Cleveland on Monday. The Pistons lead this series 2-1. The Cavaliers are favored by 3.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game total set at 213.5 points.
Let’s dive into three of my favorite player prop bets for Monday’s contest.
Best Cavaliers vs. Pistons Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jarrett Allen 22+ Points + Rebounds (-103)
After a quiet showing in Game 1, Allen posted 22 points and seven rebounds in Game 2 and 18 points and four rebounds in Game 3. The center saw over 30 minutes in both contests, and it would be in Cleveland’s best interest to keep giving Allen big minutes on Monday. He ranks second on the Cavaliers in plus/minus and net rating.
With the Cavaliers looking to even the series, Allen is a terrific bet to reach 22 combined points and rebounds. He finished with at least 22 P+R in four of six matchups with Detroit this season.
Tobias Harris Over 18.5 Points (-119)
Harris has been brilliant this postseason, and this scoring line is too low for the thriving veteran. Harris is averaging 21.3 points across the playoffs while shooting 46.7% from the field, and he has topped 18.5 points in eight of 10 games.
Harris is recording 36.1 minutes and a 26.2% usage rate in the playoffs, compared to 27.7 minutes and an 18.8% usage rate in the regular season. The Cavaliers haven’t had any answers for Harris in this series, allowing him to score at least 20 points in each of the first three contests. He should stay hot in Game 4, as Cleveland’s defensive rating ranks dead last among remaining playoff teams.
Donovan Mitchell Under 4.5 Assists (-154)
Mitchell’s assist line being this high doesn’t make much sense. The guard has fallen below 4.5 assists in all but one of his 10 games this postseason. He also has stayed under the line in all five of his matchups with Detroit this season.
Mitchell is averaging only 7.6 potential assists per game in these playoffs, as James Harden has been Cleveland’s primary facilitator. Mitchell’s assist rate drops 7.0 percentage points to 18.2% when sharing the floor with the former MVP. Don’t count on him to dish out more than four dimes in Game 4.
