Cavaliers-Clippers Prop Bet: Darius Garland
Darius Garland O/U 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Darius Garland returned to the Cavaliers lineup last week after missing five games due to an eye injury he sustained in the first game of the season. Last night, Garland played 39 minutes, scored 24 points, and dished out seven assists. Garland averaged over 36 points, rebounds, and assists in his last five games last season on the second leg of a back-to-back.
All eyes have been on the Cavaliers newest addition, Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell is averaging 31 points per game and shooting close to 50% from the field. Since Garland returned to the lineup, Mitchel has seen his usage drop from 33% to 28.25%. Garland is the one that runs the show for the Cavaliers. He had 19 assist opportunities last night against the Lakers and tied a season-high in free throw attempts with seven.
The Clippers and Cavaliers play at two of the slowest paces in all of basketball. They rank in the bottom half of the league in possessions per game but with both squads having played tough games last night, transition offense will be relied on heavily.
The Clippers are allowing 24 points and seven assists to the point guard position. Last night veteran Mike Conley scored 17 points on 7/13 from the field in 32 minutes. Garland is one of the shiftiest players in all of basketball and is over this line in back-to-back games. Garland is just getting his feet wet in his 4th season in the NBA and will look to put on a show in Los Angeles tonight.
