Expert Picks & Props to Bet in Cavaliers vs Raptors Game 6

• The Toronto Raptors try to stay alive at home in Game 6 of their series vs the Cleveland Cavaliers
• Toronto forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will be a game-time decision
• Read below for the latest Cavaliers vs Raptors player props, and my favorite picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers out-slugged the Toronto Raptors in Game 5, setting up a close out game back up North for Game 6.

With regular season leading scorer Brandon Ingram (heel) questionable to suit up for the Raps — and Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) already out for the series, Cleveland is pegged as a 4-point favorite in the NBA odds to put this series on ice.

And even though he was dinged up in Game 5, Scottie Barnes should have plenty to say in this elimination game, and one of the key players I’ve identified in my Cavaliers vs Raptors player props.

Cavaliers vs Raptors Prop Pick #1: Scottie Barnes Assists

Pick 1: Barnes Over 7.5 assists (-130 at bet365)

With Quickley, Barnes has fully absorbed the primary playmaking duties. During the regular season, he established a sturdy baseline by averaging 5.9 assists across 80 games. However, in this first-round series, his distribution volume has seen a massive spike.

Barnes averages 8.0 assists per game through the first five matchups. The environment perfectly supports this production, as Cleveland surrenders 26.4 opponent assists per game during the playoffs.

Scottie Barnes Series Stats

Barnes has averaged 8.5 assists per game at Scotiabank Arena, and he’s doled out at least eight assists in two games, missing the Over in Game 1 by a single dime and in Game 4 by a couple. Depending on how his injured quad feels, he may be better dealing than trying to get to the hoop.

Cleveland has allowed opponents to dish out 26.4 assists per game through five postseason matchups.

CLE Cavaliers vs TOR Raptors Prop Pick #2: Donovan Mitchell 3-point Makes

Pick 1: Mitchell Over 2.5 3-point makes (-140 at bet365)

Mitchell’s perimeter volume is the engine of Cleveland’s fast-paced offense, and taking the over on his made threes at plus-money is an incredibly strong angle. Looking at his regular-season baseline, Mitchell averaged 3.2 made threes across 70 games.

Crucially, his shooting stroke travels well. In 33 regular-season away games, he maintained nearly identical production, connecting on 3.1 triples per contest. The playoffs have not slowed his green light from deep. Through five games, Mitchell averages 3.2 made threes while shooting 39.0% from beyond the arc.

He’s hit at least three triples in all but one game in this series, and Toronto is 12th of the 14 teams remaining in 3-point shooting defense, with Cleveland connecting at a 36.8% clip.
