Wednesday's NBA Player Prop Picks from Behind the Arc: Riding Kevin Love
Wednesday's NBA Player Prop Picks from Behind the Arc: Riding Kevin Love
The Cavaliers are a team that unfortunately peaked at the wrong time. While it's not their fault, losing out on Jarrett Allen, and now Evan Mobley, through the final stretch of the season has to be tough. With a frontcourt of Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love, and Mosses Brown, this Cavaliers team is really gonna struggle to keep things contained in the paint.Â

Kevin Love o2.5 3PM +105Â (Bet $100 to win $105)
Veteran Kevin Love is fun. He has seemingly progressed through the phases of not caring about basketball, although being on a surprise playoff team probably helped him through that. Love has settled into a role as the backup center, but will be forced into the starting lineup due to injury. With his increased volume, he's in store for a huge night. I sprinkled his 20+ points and 5+ 3PM at +560.Â
Kevin Love Parlays
- 1u - Kevin Love 2+ 3PM/Tyus Jones 5+ AST -144 (Bet $144 to win $100)
- .5u - Kevin Love 2+ 3PM/Deandre Ayton 15+ Points -119 (Bet $119 to win $100)Â
- .25u - Kevin Love 2+ 3PM/Lauri Markannen 12+ PTS -125 (Bet $125 to win $100)
While I do like his number at 2.5, it almost seems like his floor is two, so I pivoted to a couple of 2-leg parlays. Love has started four games, averaging 28 minutes and 3.5 3PM on 7.3 attempts in those games. He's averaging 2.3 in the month of March, and that's after spending about half of it on the bench.Â

Tyus Jones is someone I love, while there is certainly some juice, Jones averages 6.8 assists per game without Ja Morant, and 5 is such an easy number in a great matchup. Ayton is someone who has had a lot of success against the Warriors this year, averaging 21.3 points across three matchups.
With his size advantage, he should take care of business against the Looney/Draymond/Kuminga trio they will likely throw at him. Lauri also greatly benefits from this increased volume, and presents a tough size matchup for Dallas. I expect both shooters to get the job done today.
