This feels like a strong spot for Tobias Harris again.
A huge game is coming up for both teams and Detroit will need production from their experienced players if they want to keep their home momentum alive. Harris has quietly been one of the most reliable pieces for the Pistons throughout this playoff run.
What stands out most is the consistency.
He’s gone over this points line in eight of his last nine games and continues to play heavy minutes in important situations. Detroit clearly trust him offensively, especially when the game slows down and possessions become more physical.
Harris has also been aggressive looking for his own shot lately instead of just playing a supporting role. That’s important in playoff basketball, where role players often disappear under pressure while experienced scorers become more involved.
Cleveland’s defense naturally focuses a lot of attention toward Detroit’s primary creators, which opens opportunities for Harris to attack mismatches and find good mid-range looks — an area where he’s still extremely comfortable.
And honestly, 18.5 points is not asking for a massive performance considering the volume and minutes he’s currently getting.
If this game stays competitive deep into the fourth quarter, Harris should have every chance to clear this number again.
