💰 Best Raptors vs. Cavaliers prop bet
The Cavaliers have the fifth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Donovan Mitchell Over 25.5 points (-105)
With James Harden pulling back, Cleveland will have to rely on Mitchell to generate any sort of offense.
Mitchell is no stranger to stepping up in this situation, as he has attempted 22 or more field goals in both of his career Game 7 appearances, including a 39-point outing against the Magic in 2024.
He has attempted 24 or more shots in two of the last three games and has been unlucky not to score 26+ in those outings. BetMGM has his Over 25.5 at -105, but this bet is good up to -125 on the best sports betting sites.

Scottie Barnes Over 21.5 points (-104)
With the Cavaliers likely to increase their defensive intensity in Game 7, we should see Toronto rely on Barnes and Barrett - who is lined as high as 23.5 points - to score late in the shot clock.
Barnes has been more productive in this role, too, as he has recorded a median of 23 points in five games without Ingram this season. He scored 25 in Game 6, and today should look similar. Barnes Over 21.5 is -104 at FanDuel, but I'd also be comfortable playing Over 22.5 (-110) on the best sports betting apps, given how well he's played lately.
🚀 Raptors vs. Cavaliers same-game parlay
The best way to see if a parlay has value is to check prices across multiple sportsbooks. Bet365 lists Mitchell Over 25.5 points with Raptors +8 at +310, while FanDuel offers the same SGP at +247. These bets make sense together - even though they're negatively correlated - because if the Raptors keep this matchup close, Mitchell will have more opportunities to score late in the game.

💡 How I'm betting Raptors vs. Cavaliers: NBA Playoffs Game 7 strategy
While Game 7s tend to be lower-scoring historically, there is a unique dynamic with both of these teams - with Harden pulling back offensively and Ingram injured - where there is value on the Overs for stars and the Unders for rotation players. Overall, I expect this game to be low-scoring, in the 200–205 range, but that shouldn’t deter betting Overs on Mitchell and Barnes.
