The Brooklyn Nets will host the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that will likely decide who hosts the play-in game. The Nets come into this game on a two-game winning streak while the Cavs are on a two-game losing streak. Brian Giuffra broke down this game earlier, but let's get to some props.

All odds listed are via WynnBET.

Best Prop Bets For Cavaliers vs. Nets

  • Seth Curry OVER 12.5 Points (-105)
  • Andre Drummond OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-125)
  • Kevin Durant UNDER 30.5 Points (-105)

Seth Curry OVER 12.5 Points (-105)

Curry has cleared this line in his last two games. He’s been hurt, but he’s said he's taking a page from Tiger Woods’ book and playing through the pain. The injury hasn’t seemed to affect Curry much and with consistent volume as one of the Nets’ top shooters, this line is very much in play. Curry is shooting 48% from three since he’s got to Brooklyn, which gives me a lot of hope he can keep the sharp shooting up today.

Andre Drummond OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

It doesn’t matter what team Andre Drummond is playing for, he’s going to get rebounds. He’s cleared this line in five of his last seven games. Tonight is a good matchup for him as Jarrett Allen remains out and Evan Mobley comes back from injury. The Nets have been the second best rebounding team in the league in the last three games. If Brooklyn continues on this streak, Drummond will clear this line easily.

Kevin Durant UNDER 30.5 Points (-105)

I’m not fading Durant because I think this is a bad matchup for him. I’m fading him because I expect the Nets to run the Cavaliers out the gym today, leaving Durant to play sub-40 minutes. He’s also missed this line in four of his last seven games. The Nets will need a lot of scoring from Durant, but a lot of that work will come early and he will have a rare night with some rest.
