Happy Sunday. The first round of the NBA Playoffs comes to an end today and in dramatic fashion; with two more Game Sevens.

The day starts early with an afternoon tipoff in Motor City. The Detroit Pistons have battled all the way back from a 3-1 deficit and look to complete the comeback tonight with a third consecutive win against the Orlando Magic.

Orlando's coming off one of the worst second halves of basketball we've ever seen. Orlando held Detroit to just 38 total points in the first half and went into the break with a 22-point lead.

In the second half of this game; the Magic shot 4/37 (10.8%) from the field, 2/18 (11.1%) from three and 9/12 from the free throw line. Orlando scored 19 total points in the second half and would up losing this game by double digits.

The night finishes in Ohio. The Cleveland Cavaliers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in this series but neither the Cavs nor the Toronto Raptors have been able to secure a win on the road. It looked like the Cavaliers might finally do it in Game 6, but RJ Barrett had other plans.

Barrett hit one of the craziest game winners we've ever seen and here we are, just waiting for tipoff.

Today's Best Bets

Cade Cunningham

Cade Cunningham o29.5 Points (+100) | Lucky Rebel

Let's kick it off with some chalk. Cade Cunningham scored more points than the entire Magic team in the second half of Game 6. He had 32 total points in their elimination game, 24 came in the second half and 19 in the fourth quarter.

After an abysmal start on the road, it looked like Detroit's season was coming to an end. The team scored just 38 points in the first half and the Magic were shooting close to 60%. Season on the line, on the road and it was Detroit's superstar PG that answered the call.

Cade went 5/8 from the field in the fourth quarter, outscored the Magic by himself and almost single handedly kept the Pistons' season alive. Tonight in his first career Game 7, I'm going right back to the young stud.

Desmond Bane

Desmond Bane o2.5 3s (+105) | Lucky Rebel

The three point line has been huge in this series and that's really because the lack of shooting on both sides. The Magic will once again be without Franz Wagner tonight and that usually means their offense bares the brunt of it. The team scored just 19 total points in the second half and made just 4 total shots.

Bane went 1/9 in the second half of Game 6 and 0/5 from the perimeter. Most of those shots were at least open if not wide open. Bane went 3/4 in the first half and if the Magic can't keep it up in both halves tonight they'll be headed into the off-season.

Duncan Robinson o2.5 3s (+108) | Lucky Rebel

Duncan Robinson has been great in this series and when he's hitting from deep, the Pistons are winning games. Robinson's shooting 30% from two in this series but just 40.5% from three. Over 80% of Robinson's shots in this series have been from the perimeter and he's hit this line in five of the six games so far.

Robinson played 36.5 minutes in Game 6, went 4/9 from three and he came alive in the second half. Three of his four threes came in the second half with 8 of his 14 points coming in a pivotal 3rd quarter.

Scottie Barnes

Scottie Barnes o36.5 PRA (-110) | Lucky Rebel

Scottie Barnes is playing the best basketball of his career and I don't see a reason not to go back.

Scottie's averaging 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game in the postseason and he's been the best player on the court in this series. He's cleared this line in three of the last four games of this series and he's taking nearly 18 shot attempts per game in the last five.

Ingram's once again doubtful tonight and Barnes has stepped up in his absence. In five games without Ingram this year, including the playoffs; Scottie's averaging 22.6 points, 11.4 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game. Barnes played 48 minutes in an overtime win and tonight I wouldn't be surprised to see Coach Darko do it again.
