How much an Ingram return impacts the betting lines is another question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Ingram is out with a heel injury, but even as part of the starting lineup wasn\u2019t impacting the series that much \u2013 averaging 12 points, with a 32.8 FG%. That from a guy who has two years left on his contract, at $80 million.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Scottie Barnes, averaging 24.2 points in the series, and RJ Barrett, averaging 24.3 points \u2013 led by the game-winning shot in overtime in Friday\u2019s 112-110, bouncing off the rim, that sent the Scotiabank Centre into pandemonium \u2013 have driven the Raptors\u2019 offence in these series. Barness has officially arrived as a star in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">That, and the emergence of first-round picks Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja\u2019Kobe Walter, is why we are going into Game 7.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Murray-Boyles finished with 17 points in 40 minutes off the bench, leading all reserves, on Friday night. Barrett, Barnes, and Walter combined to score 73 of Toronto\u2019s 112 points on Friday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">In today\u2019s second Game 7, the Detroit Pistons can come back from a 3-1 deficit, heavy betting favourites at home against the Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>BEST BETS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>NBA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Orlando Magic at Detroit Pistons, 3:30 p.m. EST, Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, MI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Series tied 3-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Under 202.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Looking at <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"editor-link\" href=\"https:\/\/betway.com\/g\/en\/sports\/grp\/basketball\/usa\/nba\"><u>NBA betting<\/u><\/a> odds on Betway this morning, Pistons are -330 Moneyline favourites, with the Magic at +275. Against the spread: Detroit -8.5 (-115), Orlando +8.5 (-105). Over\/Under is 202.5 (Over -105, Under -115).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">A quick scan of the NBA injury report at 8:30 a.m. this morning \u2013 Kevin Huerter is questionable for the Pistons, with a left adductor issue, while Jonathan Isaac is doubtful (knee sprain) and Franz Wagner is out (calf strain) for the Magic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Pistons roared back from being down 24 points in Game 6 in Orlando, to win 93-79, outscoring the Magic 31-8 in the fourth quarter. That was a major fumble by Orlando in the fourth \u2013 missing 23 shots in a row \u2013 35% from the field and just 25% 3PT overall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">This one is going to be another slog, especially with Wagner out of the lineup, in a series that\u2019s been low scoring. Unders have hit consistently \u2013 four times over the six games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Another pick \u2013 Pistons\u2019 Cade Cunningham Over 44.5 points + rebounds+ assists (-125). He\u2019s going to get massive court time tonight and has delivered huge in the series \u2013 32 points in Game 6, averaging 45.3 PRA over the series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>NBA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:30 p.m. EST, Rocket Arena, Cleveland, OH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Series tied 3-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Toronto Raptors ATS +7.5 (-105)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">At Betway, Cavaliers are -300 Moneyline favourites, with the Raptors at +240. Against the spread: Cleveland -7.5 (-115), Toronto +7.5 (-105). Over\/Under is 211.5 (Over -105, Under -115).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Cavs on home court for Game 7 is a tall order \u2013 every game has been won by the home team &#8211; but the Raptors have covered the spread in each of the last four games in the series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Barnes is a bulldog and just won\u2019t go away. He is representative of the team overall. The Raptors were a top NBA defensive team all season, and have excelled at generating possessions off turnovers, then converting those.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Still, James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are different players on home court \u2013 51.3 combined points at home, compared to 37.4 points on the road. And it feels like Mitchell is due for a big game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">We\u2019ll follow the Ingram story throughout the day (Sportsnet reported that Ingram was in a walking boot Friday), and PG Immanuel Quickley has already been ruled out with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">No injuries to report for the Cavaliers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">I am also looking at Barnes, taking the Over on total assists 7.5 (-145). Barnes has been dialed in as a facilitator over the series \u2013 seven assists in Game 1, five in Game 2, 11 in Game 3, six in Game 4, 11 in Game 5, 14 in Game 6.<\/p>\n"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117816"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117817,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117816\/revisions\/117817"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.betway.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
