Tobias Harris (DET) – Over Points + Rebounds
Nothing has derailed Harris in this series, whether an ankle injury that cropped up before Game 6 nor his poor shooting in the same contest after he played through it. Even though he connected on just seven of his 20 shots from the field Friday night, Harris still managed to furnish a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double as he played a key role in helping the Pistons overcome a significant halftime deficit and outscore Orlando by an absurd 55-19 margin over the last two quarters. The productive night pushed Harris’ series average to 28.2 points + rebounds across 35.2 minutes per game for the series.
The veteran big man is shooting just 42.7% in the six games against Orlando, but he’s averaging a robust 17.2 field-goal attempts per game and had posted a 49.0% success rate from the field in the three games prior to Friday. While the ankle likely isn’t 100%, Harris has had a day of rest and has already proven capable of succeeding even when managing the issue. He’s also pulling in 58.5% of his 13.7 rebounding chances per contest in the series, providing him with a solid floor in that category as he looks to move to an 8-2 record vs. this prop against Orlando since the start of the regular season.

Paolo Banchero (ORL) – Over Points + Rebounds
As just mentioned in Harris’ entry, the Magic were embarrassed in front of the home crowd over the final two quarters Friday, forsaking what was a 62-38 lead less than a minute into the third quarter. Banchero’s struggles were a significant part of Orlando managing just 19 points in the final 30 minutes, as he went an unfathomable 4-for-20 from the field, including 0-for-9 from behind the arc. Banchero had come into the night shooting 42.9%, including an impressive 38.5% from three-point range, along with 34.6 points + rebounds across 38.0 minutes per contest.
Those numbers all suggest a bounce-back effort could well be in the cards for the star forward, who’ll once again take the floor without Franz Wagner (calf). Banchero boasts a team-high 29.2% usage rate since the start of the regular season with Wagner off the floor, and he’s gone 3-3 to this prop so far in the series. He was much more successful during the regular season against Detroit, when he went 3-0 to the 31.5 number by producing points + rebounds totals of 35, 35 and 36. Banchero is also carrying a solid 57.4% conversion rate on his 15.7 rebounding opportunities per game, and in a game where he’s bound to be determined to make for his Game 6 disappearing act, he’s in play for the Over.

Scottie Barnes (TOR) – Over Points + Rebounds + Assists
Barnes has been outstanding over the first six games of the series as the Raptors have given the Cavaliers all they can handle. The versatile forward is already averaging 38.9 points + rebounds + assists across 39.3 minutes per game over the first six contests against Cleveland, and he went 4-0 to the 35.5 number in Games 3-6. Additionally, Barnes may once again take the floor Sunday without Brandon Ingram (heel), and its worth noting Barnes went off for a massive 46 points + rebounds + assists with 11-for-21 shooting from the field in Game 6 with Ingram sidelined.
Barnes also posted 46 and 35 points + rebounds + assists totals against the Cavs in the final two regular-season meetings between the teams, so he has a fairly extended track record of success versus Cleveland when it comes to overcoming or being right on the cusp of this number. The success isn’t necessarily surprising, considering the Cavaliers now rank No. 26 in offensive efficiency rating allowed to power forwards since the start of the regular season (28.4). Barnes also is averaging 40.5 points + rebounds + assists per 36 minutes since the start of the regular season with both Ingram and Immanuel Quickley (hamstring-OUT) off the floor, further making the case for this prop.
