Cleveland at Detriot 8:00 ET
Cavaliers (+) over Pistons - Cleveland hasn’t been to the conference finals without LeBron James in over 30 years and Donovan Mitchell and James harden have never make it to a conference final. James was 23 years old when the Cavaliers lost a game seven to Detroit in 2006. When push comes to shove aside from the Harden Mitchell issues the Cavaliers have an advantage at center between Jarrett Allen over Jalen Duren. Play UNDER!

My selection is on Seattle over San Diego at 7:20 pm et on Sunday.
The Mariners will look to avoid the sweep against the Padres on Sunday and I like their chances of doing just that with George Kirby taking the ball against Lucas Giolito, who will be making his first start of the campaign. Giolito had a renaissance year of sorts with the Red Sox last season, earning him a contract with the Padres here in 2026. I do think this is a tough matchup for him to get started with this season as current Mariners hitters have wore him out, going 20-for-68 (.294) including nine extra-base hits and a .881 OPS. While Seattle hasn't been able to scratch out a win in this series, it still ranks sixth in the majors in xwOBA over the last week and top-five in wOBA against right-handed pitching this season. The Padres sit in 22nd and 26th, respectively, in those two rankings. Kirby is about as consistent as it gets for the Mariners and that's been so since he broke into the majors back in 2022. So far this year, Kirby owns a 3.24 FIP and 1.16 WHIP and has been terrific over his last two outings, allowing just three earned runs in 12 innings against a couple of tough opponents in the Braves and Astros. Seattle has all of its high-leverage bullpen arms available for this game. The same can't be said for the Padres overworked 'pen even though closer Mason Miller should be available after resting last night. Take Seattle (8*).

This game will be ugly. I can see a '90s playoff-type game here. Tough defense will lead to turnovers and tough shots on the offensive end. Both teams will slow the pace, looking for their best shots.

For my best free pick on the board here for Sunday I am looking at the WNBA and the Toronto Tempo at the LA Sparks. Both teams come into this game at 1-2 so you can see how this high line should bait a lot of bettors into backing this Toronto team but the LA Sparks have underachieved to open up the season and should take their frustrations out on this up and coming Tempo team. LA Sparks are 0-3 ATS this season while Toronto has covered 2 straight look for the world to be backing the Tempo here while I run to the other side.
Play on the LA Sparks lay the points rotation #607 -

DunksAndThrees has an insane 225 points projected. Sportsline has 59 percent of simulations going over with 213 points scored. MasseyRatings says the total should be 221.5. This is a strong corroborated simulation over, but with a decent system or two conflicting, it fell just short of premium bet.
