Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto-raptors Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
James Harden’s playoff history has a common theme throughout his 17-year career. Only Utah Jazz legends Karl Malone and John Stockton have appeared in more postseason games without winning an NBA championship. Harden’s shortcomings in the postseason are front and center as his Cleveland Cavaliers return home for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Fifth-seeded Toronto tied the series at 2-2 with back-to-back victories in Canada, taking full advantage of Harden’s sloppy ballhandling and bad decision-making. Fourth seed Cleveland had won the first two contests rather decisively in its arena. “Games change fast and things happen in the playoffs,” Harden said Tuesday following practice at the team’s suburban training facility. “We

Baltimore Orioles vs Houston Astros Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
The Baltimore Orioles would like for first baseman Pete Alonso to get untracked. They hope to see more signs of that Wednesday night against the visiting Houston Astros after the slugger unleashed an opposite-field home run in a 5-3 Baltimore victory Tuesday in the series opener. Alonso, a big free-agent prize for the Orioles in the offseason, is batting only .198 with four homers and 12 RBIs this season. “I think my swing feels good,” he said. “Just need to get a ball or two to find some grass or maybe a seat.” Alonso put one in the seats over the right-field fence in the fifth inning Tuesday. Every time he homers, it’s a signal that he could be on

Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies Picks and Predictions April 29th 2026
Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz will look to continue his historic start to the season when the Reds host the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night in the second game of a three-game series. The star shortstop had a pair of clutch defensive plays to go with his 3-for-4 night at the plate on Monday. De La Cruz homered and drove in four runs in Cincinnati’s 7-2 victory. The homer was the 10th for De La Cruz, who became the first major leaguer since 1900 with at least 10 home runs and at least eight stolen bases before May. De La Cruz has stolen his eight bases in 10 attempts. His 10 homers are tied for most by any major league

Orlando Magic vs Detroit Pistons Picks and Predictions – April 29, 2026
The Orlando Magic visit the Detroit Pistons for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena. Tipoff is set for 7:00 PM ET on Amaz, with Orlando leading the series 3-1 and holding its first chance to close out the matchup. The Magic won Game 4 by a 94-88 score, and that result really captured the series. Orlando did not shoot well, but it defended, rebounded, protected the ball, and forced Detroit into the kind of half-court grind that makes every possession feel heavy. Franz Wagner scored 19 before leaving with a calf issue, while Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. gave Orlando enough frontcourt production to survive a low-scoring game.

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Picks and Predictions – April 29, 2026
The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet Wednesday night at Rocket Arena for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference First Round series. Tipoff is set for 7:30 PM ET on ESPN, and the series is tied 2-2 after Toronto won Game 4 by a 93-89 score. This is the swing game. Toronto has taken the last two after falling behind 2-0, but the Raptors still have not won on the road in this series. Cleveland returns home trying to settle down offensively after a rough Game 4, where Donovan Mitchell shot 6-for-24 and James Harden had more turnovers than made field goals. The market still respects Cleveland at home. The Cavaliers are laying 9.0 points, with the moneyline at -385,
