Fade Cade? Yep, if the Cavs want to steal a game from Little Ceasars Arena, they must stop Cade Cunningham.

Cade is averaging 36.5 PRA this series and has cleared this line only once, when he had a playoff triple double with twenty-seven points. He has done all the heavy lifting for Detroit, with all-star teammate Jalen Duren underperforming these playoffs.

Cade not only has to run the Pistons offence, but he gets little rest on the defensive end, guarding either Harden or Mitchell. That’s forty minutes on average, for 11 playoff games in a row. It’s possible we saw the first signs of fatigue with Cunningham, as we have seen his foul and turnover numbers increase.

Value Bet

Donovan Mitchell

30+ Points

Spider is on fire! After only four points in the first half for Mitchell, he tied the playoff record for points in a second half with thirty-nine, to smash the Pistons in game 4.

Mitchell is averaging 33PPG and only went under 30+ in game 1 of this series. He apologized to his team mates at half time of game four, after trying to get them going offensively before helping himself. He went ultra-aggressive in the second half and Detroit had no answers.

If he starts this game with the same mindset, he should shoot 30+. Averaging 23 field goal attempts per game and got to the line for 15 free throws in game 4. The Pistons are struggling to contain Mitchell and his windmill dribble. His points line is ideal at 26.5 but if you want value, go for 30+.
