Coming off a loss, Cade Cunningham should be due for a big scoring game in game four against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In game three, Cunningham had 27 points on 10-27 shooting.

Cunningham, in his last five playoff games coming off a loss dating back to last season, has had 27 or more points in his next game three out of five times. Also, Cunningham has covered the following points prop line at a good rate this playoffs, scoring 27 or more points in seven of his 10 playoff games.

Big man for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jarrett Allen, continued to struggle to rebound against Detroit in game three. He logged just four rebounds in 32 minutes. He has had under 7.5 rebounds in all three games this series, and that trend should continue into game four.

The Pistons this season are notably allowing the seventh fewest rebounds per game in the NBA, 50.8. Also, going back to the regular season, Allen also struggled to rebound against Detroit. In two of the three games he played against them, he had under 7.5 rebounds.

Donovan Mitchell Under 3.5 Assists

Donovan Mitchell in game three had four assists. It was the first time in his last eight playoff games that he had four or more assists. He should go back to hitting the under in game four on his Monday 3.5 assist line against Detroit.

The Pistons this season are allowing the fewest assists per game in the NBA, 23.1. Also, Mitchell, in the two games he played against Detroit during the regular season, had under 3.5 assists both times.

Jalen Duren Over 10.5 Rebounds

Jalen Duren should have a big night on the boards against the Cavaliers in game four. He is coming off a game three outing where he hit the under on his 10.5 rebounding line for Monday, recording just four boards. Despite coming off this down performance, he should be able to log at least 11 rebounds against the Cavaliers.

In the regular season against the Cavaliers, Duren was good on the boards. He had 11 or more rebounds twice in three games. Coming off a loss where Duren played a personal series-low 29 minutes, he should see more time on the floor in game four, helping his chances of getting at least 11 rebounds.

James Harden Under 2.5 Made 3-Pointers

James Harden had a solid game three outing. He went 8-14 from the field, which included three made 3-pointers, for a total of 19 points. Despite him hitting the over in game three, he should hit the under in game four on his 2.5 made 3-pointers prop.

Harden in his last five playoff games has just had one game where he has had three or more makes from distance. The Pistons are also notably tied for allowing the sixth fewest made 3-pointers per game in the NBA, 12.5.
