NBA Props and Pick'em

Cleveland inserted Strus into the starting lineup in Game 7 against Detroit, but that's not a guarantee to last heading into a new series against New York. Even if Strus starts, his workload will likely be capped at fewer than 30 minutes.

Strus has put together a couple of strong showings on the road during these playoffs, but the larger body of work suggests that isn't likely to continue. During the regular season, Strus averaged 14.3 points on 49.2% shooting at home, compared to 8 points on 38.3% shooting on the road.

More Dean Wade minutes could keep Strus under this number tonight. It's also possible that Strus simply doesn't shoot the ball well in a hostile environment.
