3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Cavaliers vs. Nets (Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving to Shine for Nets)
By Matt De Saro
The NBA Playoffs are upon us! Well, kind of. The play-in games are going down tonight and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets are up first.
Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Cavaliers vs. Nets
- Kevin Love OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-115)
- Kevin Durant OVER 32.5 Points (-120)
- Kyrie Irving OVER 6 Assists (-125)
Kevin Love OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-115)
Kevin Love has still got that superstar “it factor” when he needs to turn it on. His last game against the Milwaukee Bucks was a perfect example. He dropped 32 points on the defending champions with 10 rebounds and two assists.
It was his second-highest point total of the year and a big win for the Cavs. Tonight, Love needs a big game again to keep his team in the playoff hunt. I think his work on the glass will be on full display here after averaging 8.4 rebounds in his last five games. He has gone over this total in three straight games, and I think Love brings it tonight in a must-win situation.
Kevin Durant OVER 32.5 Points (-120)
It would almost be a crime to omit Durant from this article.
I think that Durant pours it on tonight and absolutely goes off on the Cavaliers. His season average is 29.9 points per game and has gone over his points total in three of his last five games. He did only score 20 in his last game against the Pacers, but, the Nets' seeding (No. 7 or No. 8) is riding on this win. I don’t think Durant disappoints.
Kyrie Irving OVER 6 Assists (-125)
Irving is another Brooklyn player that I expect will excel tonight. He has been doing an amazing job at spreading the ball around and has at least six assists in his last three games.
He is tied for fourth place in the NBA with 5.8 dimes per game and I think tonight is more of the same. He hasn’t gone under this total in three straight games. Bet on Irving to step up.
