Cavaliers vs. Mavericks Player Prop Pick
Donovan Mitchell Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125)
Action PRO is projecting 3.7 three-pointers made for Donovan Mitchell in the Cavaliers' matchup against the Mavericks tonight, presenting an excellent 14.2% edge against his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with a B+ grade in our database.
Mitchell went into a little bit of a shooting slump prior to his latest four-game absence. However, he has now knocked down 3+ three-pointers in two-of-three games since returning to the lineup, while putting up 9+ attempts in two of those contests.
That's pretty par for the course for Mitchell, considering he's averaging 3.4 three-pointers made on 9.3 attempts this season — converting around a 37% clip.
With Mitchell taking 9+ three-point attempts per game and making well over 30% of them, we see value in backing him at this number in almost any given scenario.
Pick: Donovan Mitchell Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125)
Timberwolves vs. Warriors Prop Prediction
Julius Randle Over 24.5 Points & Rebounds (-110)
By Joe Dellera
The Warriors have sneakily been one of the worst rebounding teams in the league of late.
They are actually allowing the most rebounds to their opponents over their last 10 games.
The Warriors simply don’t have the offensive prowess without Steph Curry, and they are just getting destroyed on the glass without strong bigs.
Julius Randle mashes on the interior and is coming off of three underperforming games. But this spot against Golden State is a favorable one for him.
Randle can bully his way in the interior, and we’ve seen that from him in previous matchups against the Warriors this season — posting totals of 36, 16, and 25 Points & Rebounds.
He has both scoring and rebounding upside in this matchup, and without Jimmy Butler there, the Warriors don’t have a great defensive matchup for him since they don’t typically deploy Draymond Green in straight up coverage all game.
Pick: Julius Randle Over 24.5 Points & Rebounds (-110)
Bulls vs. Clippers Player Prop Bet
Bennedict Mathurin Over 5.5 Rebounds (-110)
Action PRO is projecting 6.4 rebounds for Bennedict Mathurin in the Clippers' matchup against the Bulls tonight, showing a solid 10.4% edge against his current prop line of over/under 5.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Mathurin is only averaging 5.6 rebounds per game on the season. However, in 13 games since joining the Clippers at the trade deadline, he has recorded 6+ rebounds in eight of those contests, while reaching 7+ rebounds in seven of them; and getting all the way up to 8+ rebounds in three of those outings.
Plus, his rebounding numbers were a little bit shakier when he first joined the team. Mathurin has recorded 6+ rebounds in seven of his last 10 games entering tonight's contest.
We will go ahead and lock in our best bet at Over 5.5 Rebounds. However, you could also find value by climbing the ladder and sprinkling some alternate lines at 7+ Rebounds (+155) or 8+ Rebounds (+270).
Pick: Bennedict Mathurin Over 5.5 Rebounds (-110)
