Cavaliers vs. Pistons Player Props: NBA Prop Picks & Best Bets for Monday

My Cavaliers vs. Pistons player props and NBA best bets set the stage for this Eastern Conference showdown. The Cleveland Cavaliers (2-1) and Detroit Pistons (2-1) will help kick off Monday’s NBA slate with a matchup at 7 p.m. ET at Little Caesars Arena (Peacock).

Cleveland is a 2.5-point road favorite to win a third straight game. My NBA picks like the Cavs’ chances on Monday, too, which is why I’m backing Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter as my favorite player prop predictions.

💰 Best Cavaliers vs. Pistons player prop picks

⬆️ Evan Mobley Over 18.5 points (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This will be a big year for Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley, particularly on the offensive end. He’s averaging 19.3 points through three games, clearing this scoring prop twice over that span.

The best part is that Mobley isn’t even shooting that well. He went 5-for-13 from the floor on Sunday. With better efficiency, I expect him to clear this mark by a solid margin. A $10 bet at DraftKings’ -108 value (51.92%) offers a profit of $9.26.

🔥 De’Andre Hunter Over 5.5 rebounds + assists (-110) ⭐⭐⭐

With Lonzo Ball officially ruled out, the Cavs lack a second creator behind Donovan Mitchell. De’Andre Hunter might be the best option, as he had nine potential assists in his lone game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

Hunter finished with just two assists and four rebounds in yesterday’s win over the Bucks, but as he finds his footing, I expect more success. Hunter averaged 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists with Cleveland last year.

Given his potential role on Monday, I like Hunter to clear this Over to earn $9.09 on a $10 bet with an implied probability of 52.38%.

⬇️ Jalen Duren Under 25.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐

Detroit center Jalen Duren has a tough matchup against Cleveland’s frontcourt combination of Mobley and Jarrett Allen. It will certainly be tougher than yesterday’s win over the Boston Celtics, in which he finished with 24 points and 18 rebounds.

In the previous two games, Duren didn’t clear this prop. He scored 15 points in the opener and six in his second contest. He grabbed six boards in each game. I project 11 points, nine boards, and one assist.

The Under on his PRA line is the play, netting $8.70 on a $10 bet with an implied probability of 53.49%.
