For 11-9
#560 2X Brooklyn/Cleveland Over 219.5
#562 Chicago/Atlanta Over 239.5
Some prop bets for tonight:
Zach Lavine OVER 19.5 points scored (-105)
I would expect Lavine to reach this number about 71% of the time and I made the break even number for this wager 22.8 points, so we get some solid value. In relevant recent outings vs Atlanta, Lavine has averaged 22.3 png and has never scored less than 20 points and all of those contests were when the Bulls were running a much slower pace and not the #2 NBA ranking they hold so far in 2024. Lavine has reached this number in 5 of the 6 games he's played TY
Cameron Thomas OVER 22.5 points scored (-145)
I would expect Cam Thomas to reach this number about 74% of the time. I made the break even number for this wager 24.9 points, so we get some value. In Thomas' recent relevant outings vs Cleveland he has averaged 27 ppg on 19.8 shots per game. Over the last year, when Thomas has established himself as a go-to scorer for the Nets, he has taken 19.8+ shots in a game 27 times, in those games he has averaged 30.2 ppg and has achieved this number (22.5) 24 out of 27 times (88.9%). The Cavs are middle of the pack in defending guards (#15) and are playing at a much faster pace (#6) than in the 4 most recent meetings with Brooklyn, where Thomas averaged 27 ppg vs them. I would expect it to be reasonable for Thomas to hit his average in minutes played (around 35 mpg) get up his average number of shots vs this opponent (20) and hit his average scoring number (27-30 ppg)
Donavan Mitchell OVER 23.5 points scored (-130)
This line is accurate and I made the break even number for this wage 23.9 points giving us no wiggle room. The math is bad but the situation is good. Since coming to Cleveland Mitchell has scorched the Nets averaging 32.2 ppg vs them in his recent relevant meetings. Mitchell is extremely well rested coming off a blowout win in which he did not play in the 4th quarter and logged just 26 minutes. Mitchell did get up 13 shots but scored just 12 point. Over the last year in a games where Mitchell has scored 17 points or less, he has rebounded to average 26.7 ppg in his next outing, achieving this number (23.5) on 7 of 11 occasions (63.6%). I think we are going to get a higher scoring game here and with Cleveland playing at a quicker pace, Mitchell should have every opportunity to achieve similar recent results vs this opponent.
