FanDuel. Evan Mobley is averaging 22.2 points per 32 minutes with Donovan Mitchell (out, rest) off the court this season. This includes at least 20 points in all six games Mitchell didn’t suit up. The Trail Blazers should serve as a plus matchup for Mobley as well, as they rank 24th against transition points. Against teams that rank in the bottom 12 against transition points, Mobley has cleared this line in 17/28 games.
We understand why Cleveland All-Star Darius Garland is at this big number with Donovan Mitchell out again, but Garland generally isn't a volume scorer -- he hasn't topped 20 in any of the past four and has scored at least 23 just once this month. Our model has him at 20 and change. It also could be a blowout and it's the end of a long trip for the Cavs, so Coach Kenny Atkinson might want to limit minutes for most guys. Portland is a solid defensive team usually.
This is a large combo line for Deni Avdija who to his credit is having a terrific stretch of basketball, however I think he’s a regression candidate. This could be a tough spot as the Cavs defend opposing forwards well, in addition to having some blowout potential which could result in fewer minutes.
The Blazers continue to cash at home and remain a top covering team. They have covered 5 of last 7 overall and have not gone consecutive games without covering at home since Jan. 18. In that span, they are 13-4 ATS at home. Cavs finally got a cover at Utah after failing to cover 4 straight prior. Cleveland is still playing its shakiest ball of the season by far and are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as a favorite of 6 points or more. A fifth straight road game for the Cavs might not bring out the best in them and their defense has definitely suffered lately. The Cavs are just 14th in NBA in offensive and defensive efficiency the last 10 games.
