If you’re betting NBA player props tonight, the Cavaliers vs. Knicks matchup offers some strong value spots — especially when using insights from the NBA Player Projections Hub. This tool, exclusive to Dimers Pros, provides daily projections for every NBA player, including points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals, making it essential for bettors targeting NBA props and stat-based markets like double-doubles and triple-doubles.

After debuting last season, the NBA Player Projections Hub quickly became one of the best ways to uncover hidden player prop value. The expansive hub can identify players on the brink of significant statistical performances, notably those who are within range of double digits in multiple categories as “Double-Double Threats” or “Triple-Double Threats.”

By using these projections, we've uncovered two plus-money bets to make on players who classify as Double Double Threats in Knicks vs. Cavs tonight.

Target these Players for a Double Double in Knicks vs. Cavaliers

We’re focusing on two Cleveland Cavaliers who project as strong Double-Double candidates tonight, given the matchup and the Knicks’ injury situation:

Jarrett Allen to Record a Double-Double (+145)

The Projections Hub pegs Allen at 11.3 points and 8.5 rebounds, putting him firmly in range.

Allen recorded 40 double-doubles in 82 games last season, 10th-most in the NBA.

Allen’s ability to control the glass and finish around the rim gives him a consistent path to a Double-Double, and with New York short on bigs, the rebounding upside is even stronger.

Evan Mobley to Record a Double-Double (+135)

Though Allen had more double-doubles, Mobley was actually more efficient, recording 37 in 71 games, meaning he had over a 50% chance of recording one on any given night.

Mobley’s projection of 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds puts him right in the sweet spot for a Double-Double.

His scoring versatility and size advantage should make him a focal point on both ends, especially with the Knicks missing key rebounders.

Why the Matchup Matters

Besides landing within double-double range, what further supports these props is the matchup with New York.

The Cavaliers limited opponents to the second-fewest boards last season and the Knicks could be without their top three rebounders from last season: Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart are out, while Karl-Anthony Towns has been downgraded to doubtful.

That absence dramatically shifts the rebounding landscape in Cleveland’s favor, as KAT ranks as the highest projected rebounder in this game, vacating a substantial amount of rebounds if he doesn't play.
