Nets vs Cavaliers Analysis
*All lines provided by DraftKings
An interesting game tonight as the #7 and #8 seeds in the East face off, and we’ll be looking at this game from the props betting markets with team totals and player props.
Nets vs Cavaliers Team Total Props
The team total for Cleveland is set at 111.5, and the Nets team total is 118.5. The Cavs are expected to get Mobley back, but I think that helps them much more on defense than on offense.
I slightly lean the under for the Cavs as Cleveland is 2-2 under this total the last four games, and they’ve lost four out of five. I do like the under for Brooklyn at 118.5.
They’ve gone under this total in three straight and we saw them handedly beat the Knicks and let up and only score 110. Cleveland plays with a slow pace, and there’s not much at stake as they’re locked into the play in game.
Team Total: Nets Under 118.5
Nets vs Cavaliers Player Props
I’ll take the under 15.5 points on Markkanen as the return of Mobley should take away opportunities from him. He’s gone for 25 and 16 the last two games, and Durant should be guarding him so that length should give him problems.
I don’t know what to make of Kyrie and Durant as they seem to rotate who gets to score the points, so I’ll go outside the box and take Bruce Brown over 0.5 made three pointers.
He went 0-1 last game, but hit three of them in the previous three games.
Player Prop Pick: Bruce Brown Over 0.5 Made Three Pointers
