Despite the small slate, there’s some quality matchups and value to take advantage of.
- Cleveland Cavaliers @ LA Lakers: Evan Mobley O17.5 Points + Assists (1.8, bet365)
Cleveland Cavaliers @ LA Lakers
Evan Mobley O17.5 Points + Assists
The standout prop from the model tonight is Evan Mobley points – he’s predicted to get 18.1 points with 4.1 assists (22.2 Points + Assists prediction).
Since returning from injury a couple weeks ago, Mobley has been slowly building his minutes up, but been going very close to this number even on limited minutes:
- 15 PA (21 mins) vs Miami
- 25 PA (25 mins) vs Hornets
- 16 PA (31 mins) vs Hornets
- 23 PA (31 mins) vs 76ers
- 24 PA (29 mins) vs Nuggets
- 26 PA (31 mins) vs Jazz
- 25 PA (36 mins) vs Suns
Over in 5/7 since returning from injury, including 4 games straight as the minutes build up. With the Regular Season drawing to a close, the Eastern Conference remains extremely close, and the Cavs are still vying for higher placement – hence why Mobleys’ minutes have remained relatively high.
It’s a narrow spread against the Lakers, and a decently high total, so this should be a close game in which Mobley can maximize his minutes, and take advantage of a Lakers team weak in the paint.
