Best Cavaliers vs. Grizzlies Prop Bets

Best NBA Player Props: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Memphis Grizzlies (8:00 PM EST)

Donovan Mitchell Over 3.5 Threes (+105) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Donovan Mitchell may be entering this game on the second leg of a back-to-back, but he’s been coming in excellent form. His Cleveland Cavaliers have taken advantage of their rivals’ struggles and do not sit fourth in the Eastern Conference. When Mitchell faces the Grizzlies, his offense projects to be undeterred.

In this game, Mitchell has averaged 27.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 3.1 threes on 46.1% from the field and 34.4% from deep. He’s coming from a spectacular performance, scoring 45 points on 56.0% from the floor and 46.1% from the three-point range.

Mitchell is an aggressive three-point shooter, hitting over 3.5 threes in 19 of his 35 appearances this season. Mitchell should find continued success on Thursday night against a shorthanded Grizzlies team lacking their best talent.

Evan Mobley Rebounds Over 6.5 (+105) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Evan Mobley is known for his defensive presence and versatility for the Cleveland Cavaliers. When he faces the Memphis Grizzlies, he draws the most challenging matchup in guard Jaren Jackson Jr. It won’t be easy for Mobley, but he’s proven his quality all season.

In 23 games, Mobley has averaged 15.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game on 57.6% from the field. Still returning from a long absence, Mobley posted eight points, four assists, and three rebounds in 22 minutes of play.

While his recent numbers aren’t as impressive, Mobley has collected over 6.5 rebounds in 17 of his 23 games this season. The Memphis Grizzlies will challenge Mobley in the paint and the perimeter, so expect him to step up to the challenge on Thursday night!

Jaren Jackson Jr. Blocks Over 1.5 (+165) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Jaren Jackson Jr. has taken a step back defensively to benefit his team on the offensive side of the ball. While Memphis projects a lottery-bound season, the squad still has the pride to fight to keep themselves away from a three-game losing streak.

In 45 appearances this season, Jackson Jr. has averaged 21.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game on 44.6% from the field and 31.5% from three-point range. In his last game, a loss to the Sacramento Kings, Jackson Jr. posted 22 points with no blocks, shooting 33.3% for the game.

Coming off a season where Jackson Jr. averaged 3.0 blocks per game, his 15 games hitting over 1.5 blocks this season seems paltry by his standards. The Cavaliers play a traditional lineup, so that should allow Mobley to play nearer to the rim and challenge any Cavaliers player who dares to meet him.

What Is an NBA Player Prop?

In NBA betting, a Player Prop directs attention to the individual performance of players rather than the overall game result. This entails placing bets on specific player actions, such as points scored or rebounds, with bookmakers establishing benchmarks. 

For example, consider a bet during the Cleveland Cavaliers versus Memphis Grizzlies game. When Donovan Mitchell takes the court, a prop bet will speculate on whether they’ll hit over or under 26.5 points during the game. These types of wagers add a new level of excitement to the game, allowing bettors to focus on particular players’ performance within the broader context of the game.
