Happy Easter everyone! Today we will have one play and I think it’s a good one to hopefully make the holiday even better. We are going back to Michael Porter Jr. after he let us down last week. We do not believe in banned lists around here, he feels bad and wants to pay us back today.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Denver Nuggets Prediction
This is a wild hit rate I’m about to tell you, are you ready? MPJ has 4+ first quarter points in 19 of his last 20 games! A recent hit rate of 95% is absolutely unheard of. Jamal Murray is a game time decision which could help but I see this hitting either way. He plays a Cleveland team that allows the sixth most points to small forwards.
MPJ faced off against Cleveland once this year and scored TEN first quarter points, all we need is four. Nikola Jokic has a difficult matchup with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen so I expect him to draw tough coverages and kick out to open shooters. If an alt market for 5+ opens up at nice plus odds that’s worth a sprinkle too as that has hit in 18 of his last 20 as well. Let's roll!
