How to Claim the Kalshi Welcome Bonus Kalshi Odds *Odds/Probability are subject to change* No. 4 CLEVELAND (+105) vs. No. 1 DETROIT (-125) What to know: Both of these higher seeds survived Game 7s in the first round, and now, it appears another slugfest is in store. Consider this: Despite splitting the regular-season series, the final three games between these two were decided by a combined 11 points. In addition, one of those games went to overtime, and they both also won on the others’ home court. That’s how close this one will be. One question at the top of every Cleveland fan’s mind has to be how will the Cavs deal with Pistons All-Star Cade Cunningham? He averaged 32.4 points and 7.1 assists per game in the first round, including games of 45, 39 and 32 (twice). Detroit Pistons – Top Players & Team Stats Team Stats (Series Performance vs. Orlando) Trend Note: Detroit bounced back after a 1-3 start to win three straight games, fueled by Cunningham’s dominant scoring and playmaking, including multiple 30+ point performances to close the series. Cleveland Cavaliers – Top Players & Team Stats Team Stats (Series Performance vs. Toronto) Trend Note: Cleveland played a tight, back-and-forth series, winning four games behind balanced scoring and playmaking, with Harden orchestrating the offense and Mobley providing consistent interior presence. No. 4 LOS ANGELES (+900) vs. No. 1 OKLAHOMA CITY (-1600) What to know: DraftKings has the Thunder at +120 (shortest ‘Correct score’ odds) to sweep the Lakers in the postseason just like they did in the regular season. Why? Well, maybe because in those four regular-season wins, OKC beat L.A. by an average margin of 29.3 points per game, including a 43-point win and a 36-point win. Add to that equation the fact that Luka Dončić has still not returned from injury for Los Angeles, and we could be staring at a second playoff sweep for the defending champions. Oklahoma City Thunder – Top Players & Team Stats Team Stats (Series Performance vs. Phoenix) Trend Note: Oklahoma City swept the Suns, led by Gilgeous-Alexander’s elite scoring and playmaking, while consistently applying pressure on both ends and scoring 120+ in three of four games. Los Angeles Lakers – Top Players & Team Stats Team Stats (Series Performance vs. Houston) Trend Note: Los Angeles leaned on LeBron’s all-around production and playmaking to control the series. Lakers held the Rockets under 100 points in all four wins.
