It’s do-or-die for the Detroit Pistons in Game 6, while the Cleveland Cavaliers aim to advance to the Conference Finals for the first time since 2018.
My Pistons vs. Cavaliers props and NBA picks expect big performances from James Harden, Cade Cunningham, and Jarrett Allen.
Keep reading for the full breakdown and Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions.
Best Pistons vs Cavaliers props for Game 6
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 James Harden |
Over 19.5 points | -110 |
 Cade Cunningham |
Over 27.5 points | -110 |
| Jarrett Allen |
Over 1.5 blocks | -130 |
Game 6 Prop #1: James Harden Over 19.5 points
James Harden might be past his prime, but the 36-year-old still has some game.
Harden put up a postseason-high 30 points in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 5 win, while chucking up a team-leading 21 field goal attempts and getting to the charity stripe 14 times.
Harden has scored Over 19.5 points in two straight games, and three of five contests against the Detroit Pistons.
He’ll be relied on heavily again in Game 6 as the Pistons continue to clamp down on Donovan Mitchell, who dropped just 21 points last time out.
Game 6 Prop #2: Cade Cunningham Over 27.5 points
Cade Cunningham delivered in Game 5 with 39 points while shooting 48% from the field and 60% from 3-point range. He’ll likely need a similar performance in Game 6 to help the Pistons avoid elimination.
The former first-overall pick clearly has the clutch gene — he scored 32+ points in all three must-win games during the Conference Quarterfinals against the Magic.
Tobias Harris is the only other Pistons player averaging more than 12 ppg, and Duncan Robinson is questionable for Game 6. Expect Cunningham to get a ton of touches — and points — tonight.
Game 6 Prop #3: Jarrett Allen Over 1.5 blocks
Jarrett Allen has been a defensive beast this postseason, ranking third on the team in defensive rating and second among all players in the NBA with 24 blocks.
Defense doesn’t always show up on the box score, but in Allen’s case it often does. The Cavs center has logged Over 1.5 blocks in three straight contests, and nine of his last 11 outings.
Detroit is averaging 86.6 field goal attempts per game in the series — third most among all teams in the Conference Semifinals. The Pistons will get their looks, but Allen will be there to shut them down in the paint.
