The Cavaliers responded with their highest-scoring final frame to secure a seven-point win. The Pistons rely heavily on Cade Cunningham, who is averaging 30.2 PPG, while the Cavs lean on Donovan Mitchell’s scoring bursts and late-game shot creation. Cleveland’s defense has allowed at least 107 points in six postseason games, while Detroit has held opponents under 100 points in five playoff contests.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Series: Thunder lead 3-0
Spread: Thunder -11.5

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging just 21 points on 46% shooting, yet Oklahoma City still cruised to a 23-point win in Game 3 in Los Angeles. Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell have provided strong support. The Thunder are 7-0 in the postseason so far, showcasing depth and defensive discipline. The Lakers have struggled to keep pace and face elimination on their home floor.
