Caesar’s. Jarrett Allen has remained under this line in all six games this series in regulation. He’s seen his minutes dwindle, as the Cavs have employed more small lineups in crucial situations. And if the Raptors continue to run lineups with a front line of Scottie Barnes and Collins Murray-Boyles, look for the Cavs to counter without their center.

The Cavs are going to need all the help they can get from Evan Mobley as they look to avoid getting bounced in the 1st round. Mobley has played well in this series having eclipsed this line in 4/6 games. Considering James Harden and Donovan Mitchell have both been fairly pedestrian by their standards, I expect Mobley to once again shoulder a large load offensively. I also expect him to play upwards of 40+ minutes.

Although I like Toronto to keep Game 7 close, it's hard to ignore Evan Mobley's current form. He has poured in 49 points in the past two games, shooting 17 of 28 from the field. He's a 6-foot-11 matchup problem who should see massive minutes in Game 7. Mobley has cleared this prop total in all three Cavaliers' home games. With the Raptors doing everything they can to contain Cleveland's All-Star backcourt, look for Mobley to clear this prop total for the fifth time in the series.

DraftKings. I’m riding the wave with Collins Murray-Boyles. The Raptors rookie has cleared this points line in five of six games this series, and has been the most consistent of the Raptors role players. With Brandon Ingram doubtful and Jakob Poeltl largely ineffective, CMB should see his minutes push past 30 once again (he had 35 regulation minutes in Game 6). Leading the Raptors in paint touches, and third in usage sans Ingram, look for CMB to continue his postseason surge.

FanDuel. This is really just a numbers play for me. Donovan Mitchell has been at 4.8 rebounds or better per 36 minutes in the regular season each of the last three seasons. He’s cleared this line in five of six games this series, and 17/22 of playoff games with 30+ minutes over the last three seasons. Rebound stats can be variable - but I like the notion of an effort stat for a star player, at home, in a close out game, especially at plus odds.
Even if Brandon Ingram doesn’t play, I like the Raptors to keep it close and cover for the fifth straight time in this series. They might have won Game 5 in Cleveland had Scottie Barnes not gotten hurt. The emergence of rookie Collin Murray-Boyles (15.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 66.1 percent shooting in this series) has given Toronto the weapons it needs to go toe-to-toe with the Cavs. Cleveland probably advances but this is too many points.
