Best Cavaliers-Jazz NBA Player Prop Bet | Jarrett Allen
Jarrett Allen Player Prop O/U 13.5 Points
The Utah Jazz do not defend the rim effectively. They have allowed an NBA-worst 55.5 points in the paint per game this year. They just gave up 58 points in the paint to the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. They have allowed the most points per game to opposing centers this year (25.8). Replacing Kelly Olynyk with Walker Kessler should help somewhat, but Kessler still allowed Jarrett Allen to score 20 points in Cleveland’s last meeting with Utah.
Allen dominated the Jazz in the paint. He shot 6-for-10 from the restricted area and earned six free-throw attempts. The Cavaliers ran the Jazz off the floor, leaving Allen to play only 30 minutes, 3.5 minutes below his season average. It marked his eighth game with 20-plus points this season, and he should have a similar performance tonight.

The sportsbooks have left Allen’s standard prop total at only 13.5 for this contest. He has beaten that number in 16 of his 34 appearances this year. More importantly, Allen has exploded against teams that can’t defend the rim all year. The Cavaliers have played nine games against teams that allow 52-plus points in the paint per game. Allen averaged 17.4 points per game in those outings and went for 20-plus points five times. He went over this total in seven of those nine games.
Bettors should wager a full unit on Allen to beat the 13.5 at BetMGM. New users at BetMGM can score $200 in bonus bets with a $10 wager! However, that isn’t the only profitable play for tonight’s card. A quarter-unit wager on Allen to score 20-plus points at FanDuel would return more than a full unit. New FanDuel users in Ohio can score $200 in bonus bets with only a $5 wager until later this month.
