Jarrett Allen<\/a> has posted strong numbers against Jalen Duren<\/a>, and my Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions expect Cleveland\u2019s starting center to deliver another productive scoring performance.<\/p>\n

Here are my best free NBA picks<\/a> for Game 4 from Rocket Arena on Monday, May 11.<\/p>\n

Pistons vs Cavaliers Game 4 predictionPistons vs Cavaliers best bet: Jarrett Allen Over 12.5 points (-105)<\/p>\n

Jarrett Allen<\/a> has averaged 20 points over his last two games. He\u2019s recorded 13+ in four of his last five, with the only exception being a two-point dud in Game 1 of the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Allen has averaged 13.8 points across five home playoff games this season, and he\u2019s gone for 13+ in two straight at Rocket Center.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>‘ big man has found success against Detroit Pistons<\/a> center\u00a0Jalen Duren<\/a> over the last three seasons.<\/p>\n

In 11 career matchups with Duren, Allen has averaged 14.6 points. He scored 13+ in seven of those head-to-heads, including four of five at home.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

Allen averaged 17.8 points in 13 games post All-Star break, scoring 13+ points 11 times in that span.<\/p>\n

Pistons vs Cavaliers Game 4 same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Donovan Mitchell<\/a> has scored 30+ points in back-to-back games. In five matchups with the Pistons, he\u2019s averaged 30.8 points and scored 29+ four times. Mitchell has been a more potent scorer at home, and I expect him to come through in a big way as the Cavs look to even up the series.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers built momentum after a win in Game 3, and they can tie the series at two games apiece with a win in front of the home crowd. The home team has won five straight in this head-to-head, and Cleveland is 31-12 straight up as the home favorite this season.<\/p>\n
