Cade Cunningham (DET) – Over Points + Assists
Cunningham is naturally the heart and soul of the Pistons’ offensive attack, and although he saw an uncharacteristic dip in production in Game 4, he has the talent and potentially the right conditions to have a significant bounce-back performance in Game 5. Cunningham was riding high this postseason before posting a relatively modest 19 points, three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes Monday, as he’d averaged 37.9 points + assists along with 5.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in his first 10 postseason tilts.
Cunningham has recorded at least 23 points in five of eight games against Cleveland since the start of the regular season, and he’s dished out six or more assists in seven instances during that sample as well. Three of those contests featured double-digit assist tallies, with two of those coming in the current series. The Cavs have also allowed 48% shooting over the last three games, and the 14.2 made threes per road game they’ve conceded since the start of the regular season ranks them in the bottom 10 of the league.

Duncan Robinson (DET) – Over Points + Rebounds
Robinson is another Piston who had a difficult Game 4, as both foul trouble and extremely low usage conspired to produce the veteran wing’s first true dud since Game 4 of the first-round series against the Magic. Robinson took a postseason-low two shots and finished with just four points over 29 minutes, but that certainly isn’t guaranteed to carry over into Game 5, especially considering Robinson’s body of work in several games leading into Game 4.
Robinson had averaged 17.8 points + rebounds over the previous six games while shooting 47.7%, including 46.9% from three-point range. He went undefeated against the Over on the 14.5 number during that span, and he averaged a robust 10.8 shot attempts per contest as well. It also bears mentioning Robinson had shot 45.8% from beyond the arc against the Cavs over his first seven games since the start of the regular season prior to Monday’s dud, so he’s well-suited to exploit Cleveland’s aforementioned vulnerability on the perimeter.

Donovan Mitchell (CLE) – Over Points + Rebounds
Mitchell’s usage has had some ebbs and flows during the postseason, but the star guard has been in excellent form over the last three games in particular while helping the Cavaliers to a pair of critical victories in that span. Mitchell is averaging 43.3 points + rebounds alongside 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest during that span, shooting 50.0% in the process. The veteran sharpshooter is also putting up a massive 24.7 field-goal attempts per contest in the sample after putting up 20.6 per game in the eight playoff tilts leading into the sample.
Mitchell has scored under 30 points just once against the Pistons in six games since the start of the regular season, and he’s averaged 38.1 points + rebounds over the entirety of that span while shooting 52.3% overall. He’s gone 5-1 to the Over on the 31.5 points + rebounds number in that span, furthering the case for this prop. Additionally, it’s worth noting Mitchell has helped establish a nice rebounding floor this postseason by pulling in 61.5% of his 8.7 chances per game this postseason, including 62.5% of the 10.0 per contest he’s seen over the first four games of the current series.
