Prop Pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves are great defensively, which is why the Cleveland Cavaliers are bound to struggle this evening, especially considering that their scoring leader Donovan Mitchell is out with a knee injury.

If the Cavaliers want to win tonight, someone will have to fill in for Mithcell. It’s probably going to be Caris LeVert, who’s averaging 14.0 points per game. He’s not in great form and even had some problems with his elbow earlier this month. But he’s got no other option but to go all-in this evening.

Caris LeVert 15+ Points	+130

Prop Pick

Tonight, we’re going to see four players who featured in the 2024 NBA All-Star game on the court – Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard and Lakers’ LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Of these four guys, it’s Giannis who’s been in the most impressive form this entire season. He’s averaging over 30 points per game, but this time, we don’t think he’s gonna reach that number.

First of all, he still might be struggling with an injury that bothered him in the last game. Secondly, he’s playing against a team that tends to show up in big games, especially defensively.

He does, however, have a very good record against the Lakers, scoring 40+ in three of their last four duels. In the one in which he didn’t go 40+, he still went 30+. 

Nevertheless, we hope that the Lakers have learned their lesson and that, this time, they’re going to pay even more attention to this guy.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 30.5 Points	-114
