The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Detroit Pistons for Game 4 of their NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup at Rocket Arena in Ohio on Monday night. The Cavaliers picked up the win last time out, but the Pistons still lead the series 2-1.
It looked as though the Pistons may have figured things out after a shaky start to the playoffs, winning the final three games against the Orlando Magic in the first round and then the first two games against the Cavaliers in this series, both by 10-point margins. However, the Cavaliers managed to get back in the win column Saturday in the first of two games in Cleveland behind All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell’s team-high 35 points and 10 rebounds, recording his first double-double of the playoffs.
Mitchell and the Cavs will look to do it again in Game 4 on their home court against the No. 1-seeded Pistons to even the series at two games apiece before it shifts back to Detroit for Game 5.

- Pistons vs. Cavaliers Game 4 Player Prop Pick: Tobias Harris Over 18.5 Points (-120)
Pistons vs. Cavaliers Best Bet: Duncan Robinson Over 1.5 Steals
While Duncan Robinson isn’t typically known for his defense, he’s been extremely active on that end during the playoffs for the Pistons. Robinson has totaled 16 steals in 10 playoff games, averaging 1.6 per game, well above his 0.6 average during the regular season.
Robinson has piled up steals recently, taking the ball away 13 times over his last four games, including five steals in Game 3 against Cleveland. He’s gone over 1.5 steals in all three games of this series, making this plus-money line especially intriguing for Game 4.

Pistons vs. Cavaliers Moneyline Pick: Cavaliers -170
The Pistons entered Game 3 riding a five-game winning streak, but that run came to an end after Cleveland secured a 116-109 win at home. While not the league’s best home team, the Cavaliers have been excellent at Rocket Arena this season, including a perfect 5-0 record at home during the playoffs.
In fact, Cleveland is currently on a nine-game home winning streak dating back to the regular season. The Pistons may have finished with the best record in the East, but the Cavs have proven difficult to beat on their home court.
