Over 225 Total Points (-110)
Max Strus Over 2.5 Made Threes (-125)
Jarrett Allen Over 3.5 Assists (+134)
Same Game Parlay odds: +475
Over 225 Total Points (-110)
Playing a game on a different continent is always a unique experience, I expect the two teams to showcase the NBA product in it’s purest form – with a ton of offense. The oddsmakers have set a pretty modest projected total of just 225 points, so why not take advantage of that? The Nets and Cavs surpassed that number in the first meeting of the season, plus 7 of the last 10 games head-to-head have cashed on the over with an average of 226.1 points per game scored.
We’ve seen quite the transformation of the Cavaliers offense in their last 10 games. They’ve gone up from being one of the slowest teams in the NBA to a top 6 team in offensive efficiency. Ball movement has been a huge part of that, they’re the team with the highest AST% during that stretch. They should be able to fill it up against this suspect Nets defense, Brooklyn has allowed an average of 119.4 points per game in their last 5 outings. I think the two teams will put on a show offensively, so let’s open our SGP by backing the points here.
Max Strus Over 2.5 Made Threes (-125)
Strus has remained consistent from the three-point line averaging 2.8 makes for the past two months or so. His efficiency has gone up since the turn of the new year though, he’s at 44% of makes from downtown, compared to just 29.4% in the month of December. Just two Games ago he exploded for 6 threes against the Washington Wizards, he’s attempted at least 10 threes in 4 of the last 10 Games. If he gets close to that in today’s Game, there is no doubt he will be able to clear this line. He just loves playing the Nets for some reason. In the last 7 meetings he’s making an average of 4 threes per Game against them on over 47% efficiency. Only twice during that stretch he failed to clear this line, so I’m confident he can get the job done today in Paris.
Jarrett Allen Over 3.5 Assists (+134)
Jarrett Allen has looked like an All-Star over his last 10 games posting averages of 18.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. The absence of Darius Garland has forced the Cavs to put the ball into the hands of their big men who are finding open shooters, because of this Allen has cleared this line 5 times in his last 7 games. His former team the Nets aren’t exactly known for their ball stopping this season – opponents are averaging 26.2 assists per game against them, so I think the Cavs will use their big man quite a lot here. Cleveland is one of the deepest teams in the NBA with players like like Struss, Georges Niang, Caris LeVert and Sam Merrill all capable of having big scoring nights. Donovan Mitchell can’t get all the assists here, so let’s go with Allen to dish out at least 4 of them at a really tasty price of +134 odds.
