Nets vs Cavaliers Analysis
*All lines provided by DraftKings
The first play-in game will take place in Brooklyn as the Nets host the Cavaliers, and we will take a look at wagering on this game with both Team Totals and Player Props.
Nets vs Cavaliers Team Total Props
The Nets have a team total of 118.5 while the Cavaliers sit at a total of 108.5. These totals make sense as these teams played on Friday as the Nets won 118-107.
Durant and Garland had big games in that one, and I think it’s possible that both teams go over this total. Kyrie had a below average shooting night going 7-22 from the field, and he can certainly improve on scoring only 18 points.
Everyone else on the team has numbers that can be replicated, so I’ll lean over 118.5 for Brooklyn. For Cleveland, I’ll take them over 108.5. They shot 29.6% from three point range on Friday, and they should be better tonight.
I expect Garland to score with ease again as Brooklyn can be scored on from the perimeter, and Garland might even improve on his 31 point scoring barrage on Friday.
Team Total Prop Play: Cleveland Cavaliers Over 108.5
Nets vs Cavaliers Player Props
I’ll take a surprising play with Kyrie under his 28.5 points. He’s gone under this total in six out of nine games, and only had 18 against Cleveland on Friday.
His big point totals recently have been against horrible defenses in Indiana, Houston and Atlanta so we have some nice value on an inflated line.
I’ll also play Drummond over 11.5 rebounds. He played really well against Cleveland last game going for 15-12 in 24 minutes, and even though Mobley will be playing, Drummond is just bigger and taller.
He was important to them Friday, I expect similar minutes, if not a few more tonight.
Player Prop Play: Kyrie Irving Under 28.5 Points
Nets vs Cavaliers Player Prop Parlay
Cleveland has suffered so many injuries this year, I think it’s caught up with them, and with a healthy Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving it’s hard to see Cleveland pulling the road upset.
Kevin Durant put up 36 against Cleveland on Friday, and he thrives in big games, this is a spot he should thrive in, Cleveland doesn’t have a good defensive matchup for him and Durant is an incredible 20-20 from the free throw line the last two games.
Caris LeVert has had four or more assists in five straight games including six or more in three out of five.
Same Game Parlay Play:
Brooklyn Nets To Win -450
Kevin Durant 25+ Points
Caris Levert 4+ Assists
