Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons (7:00pm, EST)

Detroit Pistons Team Total Under 111.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the playoffs, the Detroit Pistons have harshly regressed on offense, falling down the board in Offensive Efficiency while ranking near dead last in Three Point Completion Percentage.

Their lack of production on offense brings in a high amount of negative variance into their contest against Orlando, making it hard for them to pull away on the scoreboard.

Heading into Wednesday night, expect the Pistons struggles on offense to continue to persist as they face off against a Magic defense who ranks in the top-10 in Adjusted Defensive Rating and in Opposing Effective Field Goal Percentage.

Especially with the Pistons incapable of stretching out their coverage with their perimeter shooting, allowing the Magic to sag their guards to the middle to help contest Cade Cunningham’s shots in the interior.

Jalen Duren Under 10.5 Rebounds (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Jalen Duren has also struggled to recapture the same success he had in the regular season, averaging just 8.3 Rebounds per game in their series against the Magic.

With Orlando fielding a lengthy lineup who excels at crashing the glass, Duren is forced to combat against more bodies in a clogged paint, leading to a decline in his total number of Rebound Opportunities.

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers (7:30pm, EST)

Scottie Barnes Over 19.5 Points (-105) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Listed as a sizable underdog on the series moneyline, the Toronto Raptors have managed to defy expectations by winning two of the first four games against Cleveland.

Scottie Barnes has played a major role in the Raptors success in the playoffs, averaging 25.8 Points per game while shooting 46.7% from three and 52.3% from the floor.

With the Cavaliers struggling in coverage per their below league average marks in Defensive Efficiency and in Opposing True Shooting Percentage, Barnes will be able to continue to exploit their gaps in the interior and generate a high volume of shots near the rim.

For some more exposure, escalator bet Barnes Points prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate overs at the best available odds.

RJ Barrett Over 1.5 Three Pointers Made (-132) at FanDuel Sportsbook

When Barnes pulls defensive attention to the middle, RJ Barrett has been able to take advantage of the extra space around the three point line, averaging 2.5 Threes Made per game while shooting 47.6% from deep.

With the Cavaliers forced to shade their coverage away from the perimeter, Barrett will be able to generate high quality shot attempts from three for the full duration of the contest and clear the over on his Three Pointers Made prop.

Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers (10:00pm, EST)

Los Angeles Lakers Team Total Under 106.5 (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Just when it looked like the injury riddled Los Angeles Lakers were going to secure the sweep, the Houston Rockets were able to avoid elimination, winning game four 115-96.

With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves dealing with injuries, the Lakers have taken a major blow, losing two key playmakers who are able to create their own shot when their offense stalls out in a halfcourt set.

To make matters worse for the Lakers, they face off against a Rockets defense who excels in coverage, fielding a lineup who ranks in the top-5 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and 11th in Opposing Three Point Completion Percentage.

With Reaves expected to sit out, the Lakers lack of versatility will make it easier for the Rockets to face guard and contest their shots at every level of the court.
