Jalen Duren o21.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-115)
Who doesn’t love a good redemption story? After getting benched for the entire fourth quarter and overtime of Detroit’s narrow Game 5 loss, Jalen Duren responded with 15 points and 11 rebounds in Game 6.
Cleveland’s interior defense has been exploitable on the road in these playoffs. The Cavs have the second-lowest defensive rebound percentage (63.5), and they’ve surrendered the fifth-most points in the paint (48.7) and sixth-most second-chance points.
Among players with at least 30 minutes per game this postseason, Duren ranks fourth in offensive rebounds (3.7) and second in offensive rebound percentage (12.4).
Cade Cunningham has dished 9+ dimes in four of seven home games, and the Pistons are 3-1 in those contests. Cunningham ranks third in potential assists overall (15) and at home (16.3) this postseason. His team has shot more efficiently at home, which should lead to a bump in helpers.
The Pistons nearly won Game 5 before dominating in Game 6, and they’ve got momentum on their side. Detroit is 5-2 straight up at home this postseason with an 8.1 Net Rating. Conversely, Cleveland is just 1-5 on the road with a -8.2 Net Rating.
Detroit’s role players stepped up in Games 5 and 6. The Pistons have been more efficient from downtown (37.4%) at home than on the road, and the team has piled up more rebounds and steals there.
“B-ball” Paul Reed has gone Over his number in four straight. Duncan Robinson has hit multiple triples in 10 of 12 games this postseason and all six home appearances, and Daniss Jenkins has done the same in three of his last four at Little Caesars Arena.
Ausar Thompson has racked up four blocks and steals per game this postseason, reaching 3+ nine times.
