Best NBA Prop Bets: Bucks vs. Cavaliers

The value bets below are props identified by our AI predictive analytics model following 10,000 simulations of this Bucks vs. Cavaliers game, before we match those results against the lines set by the sportsbooks. When our numbers are quite different to those displayed by the sportsbooks then that means we've identified a prop betting opportunity - usually at tempting odds, too.

Sometimes the sportsbooks will set the line for a particular NBA player prop too high, in which case we'd bet his Under. Other times they may have undervalued a player's expected contribution, and set his line quite low allowing us to take the juicy odds on offer for his Over.

It's important to note, the suggested player prop bets below are based on our algorithm finding an edge vs. the sportsbooks odds and lines, so using the sportsbook listed - where those factors are in our favor - is very important in order to maximize our potential to profit from player prop betting.

🔥 Bet: Jarrett Allen Over 9.5 Total Rebounds (+100)

Our NBA player props predictive analytics model has Allen down for more than his line of 9.5 boards (we have him getting 11.1) on Wednesday night, so at odds of +100 we are betting his OVER and getting an edge of 8.9% with PointsBet Sportsbook, where new customers can get 4x risk-free $200 bets to use on whatever they want, right here.

🔥 Bet: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 5.5 Total Assists (+116)

Following over 10,000 different simulations of this Wednesday night matchup between the Bucks and the Cavs, our player prop model has identified that the assists line of 5.5 for Giannis is too low. We have the Greek Freak down for 6.2 dimes (see above), so betting his OVER (+116) with DraftKings Sportsbook is the play, giving us an edge of 7.5% vs. the sportsbook. New DraftKings customers can score $150 in free bets from just a $5 wager here.
