<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNBA Player Props Best Bet #1: Jalen Duren (DET) Under 34.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With the Pistons win on Saturday they were able to lockup the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference as they head to Orlando to take on a Magic team that still has a slim chance to win the Southeast Division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detroit doesn\u2019t have much else to gain before the playoffs start and we\u2019ll look for Jalen Duren to go under 34.5 points + rebounds tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now don\u2019t get us wrong, Duren has been the engine to this Pistons team without Cade Cunningham averaging 33.6 points + rebounds across his last six games, but the Magic are stout against centers allowing the second fewest points and seventh fewest rebounds per game to the position this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In three head-to-head matchups with Orlando this season Duren has averaged 29.4 points + rebounds per game and we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Duren sees less than 30 minutes of action, playing in just 30 minutes on Saturday putting up just 23 points + rebounds against the 76ers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an attempt to preserve health for the playoffs, let\u2019s take Duren under 34.5 points + rebounds tonight <\/strong>who could see less floor time than usual against a team that doesn\u2019t allow centers to be that effective game-to-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the Cavaliers won\u2019t win the Central Division this season, they still have a shot to capture the #3 seed in the Eastern Conference as they play the second leg of a back-to-back in Memphis tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleveland played without a slew of players last night including Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, a few of those names or more could possibly return tonight but we\u2019re taking Donovan Mitchell to go over 25.5 points anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a much tighter game than the Cavaliers were anticipating yesterday only defeating the Pacers 117-108 at home with Mitchell pouring in 38 points on 16-27 shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now he gets to face a Memphis team that has given up the second most points per game to shooting guards over the last 15 days with both teams running at a top 10 pace over their last 10 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Grizzlies are also playing the second of a back-to-back tonight which could mean tired legs for a lineup that is essentially filled with G-League players at this point of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first time these two went head-to-head was way back on November 15th, but Mitchell still scored 30 points on 10-21 shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After last night\u2019s close call, let\u2019s look for Mitchell to be a pivotal scoring threat for the Cavaliers once again going over 25.5 points<\/strong> at Memphis on Monday night.
