Both the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> and the Detroit Pistons<\/a> have notable frontcourts, but the Cavaliers\u2019 big men were inconsistent in the first round against the Magic.<\/p>\n

This Cavaliers vs. Pistons<\/a> same-game parlay expects Detroit to win on the glass in Game 1 on Tuesday, May 5.<\/p>\n

Our best Cavaliers vs Pistons SGP for Game 1SGP leg #1: Jarrett Allen<\/a> Under 7.5 Rebounds (+100)<\/p>\n

Jarrett Allen<\/a> starred on the glass twice in the first round, but that was twice in the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>\u2019 seven-game series win. Which is to say, he fell short of this very modest prop five times against the relatively undersized Raptors.<\/p>\n

That kind of rate will age even worse against the Detroit Pistons<\/a>. They thrive on the offensive glass, No. 3 in the NBA in offensive rebounding rate since the All-Star Break, the kind of strength that gets overlooked during the regular season and by casual fans but can be a massive postseason difference-maker.<\/p>\n

SGP leg #2: Jalen Duren<\/a> Over 9.5 Rebounds (-145)<\/p>\n

Jalen Duren<\/a> leads that offensive rebounding focus. He pulled in at least four offensive boards in five of Detroit\u2019s seven games against the Magic. In each of the final three games of that series, Duren snagged at least five offensive rebounds.<\/p>\n

This is Duren\u2019s most reliable skill, and even if he is not scoring, every offensive rebound he finds creates another scoring chance for the Pistons.<\/p>\n

SGP leg #3: Pistons Moneyline (-150)<\/p>\n

Homecourt advantage plus what could be a distinct rebounding edge should be all the logic needed to trust Detroit in this series opener, particularly given how well Cade Cunningham<\/a> was playing as the first round ended.<\/p>\n
