🔑 Thunder ML +114 (FanDuel) 2u The game of the year so far in the NBA, this should be a banger and I’m taking the binder at +money every day of the week. They are the best overall team in the NBA and are 2-0 this year when they were underdogs. Sharp money on them +2.5 and if you like them at +2.5 you like them on the ML. SGA masterclass tn, Hartenstein shuts down Mobley. Dort locks up Dmitch or Garland. Game over, Thunder win.

THE BOUNCE 📽️: 12.27 Rebs On the surface this probably doesn't feel like a good matchup. CLE is a good defensive team and good on the boards with both Allen and Mobley on the court. However, they have still allowed the 12th most rebounds per game and 11th most to opposing centers per game. CLE is a set that likes to get set on offense and Allen stays inside, which should allow Hartenstein to regularly get in position to rebound in the paint. With a good inside presence needed, Hartenstein could see good minutes today as well, barring foul trouble. We've seen very solid rebounding game from centers of late vs CLE too: Williams: 9 (28 mins) Lively: 11 (27 mins) AD: 13 (37 mins) Jokic: 14 (36 mins) Given the matchup, I think Hartenstein should definitely see 30+ tonight, which should put him in a great position to grab 12+ boards.

🎙️ Discussed on @CashThatPodcast The Thunder take on the Cavaliers in a game between two of the league’s best teams. I’ll be targeting Jalen Williams tonight. Jalen Williams survives on a healthy diet of midrange shots. This is an area that the Cavaliers defend very well. He is not someone that stretches the floor and I can see him running into Evan Mobley during this matchup. He also isn't hitting this line. He's 1 for his last 10 and averaging 17.7 ppg. On the season, he's at just 14/36 and is averaging right on this number at 20.5 I'll grab under 20.5 points.
