    Analysis

    Detroit made Game 3 in Cleveland much sweatier than I would have preferred, but the Cavs pulled it out. Unbeaten at home in these playoffs. James Harden especially looks like a different player on his home court than away. The Beard hit a couple of huge late shots in Saturday's victory. It would not surprise me at all if the home team won all seven in this series as happened in Round 1 between the Cavs and Raptors. Cleveland (obviously including playoffs) is an NBA-best 18-3 at home since Jan. 23 and has won nine straight at Rocket Mortgage Arena. Series is all but over if they drop this one.

    Analysis

    Jarrett Allen's scoring went up post-James Harden trade. He averaged 17.8 points after the All-Star Break, compared to 14.6 before. Harden is a master at finding Allen after Allen screens for him and rolls. This series is a good matchup for Allen because Detroit's size (Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Paul Reed) keeps Allen on the floor. He played 31 and 32 minutes the past two games, scoring 22 and 18 points. He shot 7 of 9 in each game. If Allen can stay out of early foul trouble, he should clear this prop total for the fifth time in the past six games.

    Analysis

    The Dodgers got smoked by Atlanta on Sunday for a second straight defeat but have only lost three in a row once this season. And Mookie Bettis is set to be activated ahead of Monday's game. Now we finally get to see what that full lineup can do. Certainly would prefer any other LA starting pitcher than Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA), but this would be more expensive if so. The Giants can't hit much and are 6-12 away. They taxed the bullpen plenty in Sunday's 12-inning win over Pittsburgh.
