Heat vs. Cavaliers: Under 242.5 total points (-105)
The Heat defeated the Cavaliers, 120-103, in Cleveland on Wednesday to go well Under this number as the two teams meet again in Ohio on Friday. Cleveland’s offense has underperformed its season averages lately. It ranks fourth in the league in scoring at 119 points per game, but has finished under that total in three of its last four games, resulting in the Under going 3-1 over that span. The model projects the Under to hit in 57.1% of simulations. Back the Under to cover at DraftKings here, and claim $200 in bonus bets instantly as a new user:
Jared McCain, Thunder, Over 9.5 total points (-118)
“Jared McCain only scored six points over 13 minutes against the Celtics on Wednesday. It was a close game, so the Thunder gave more minutes to their starters. This has the potential to be a blowout against the Bulls, who allowed 157 points in a 20-point loss to the 76ers on Wednesday,” SportsLine expert Mike Barner said. “The Thunder recently blew out two bad teams in the Wizards and Nets. McCain played 28 minutes in each game, scoring 26 and 18 points. I think he plays around 20 minutes against the Bulls, leaving him with a great opportunity to hit this over.” Back this NBA player prop at DraftKings here, and claim $200 in bonus bets instantly as a new user:
Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers: Over 8.5 total runs (-115)
The Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks, 8-2, on Thursday to go Over this number, as the Dodgers’ offense started this season off as they played the majority of last season, with ample firepower. The Dodgers were third in baseball at 5.01 runs per game last season, and they even added to their lineup after signing star outfielder Kyle Tucker this offseason. With a deep lineup that already includes Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and more, the model projects plenty of runs. Arizona can score as well, finishing fourth in baseball in runs scored (4.88) last year, giving this game the ingredients for an Over play. The model projects the Over to hit in 65.9% of simulations.
