Odds: +118
Probability: 55%
Projection: 4.4
Edge: 9.1%
Game: Raptors vs Cavaliers (7:30PM EST)
The Basketball Forever betting bot has found the first best player prop bet for today, finding value in the total assists made prop market, with our sights set on RJ Barrett Over 3.5 Total Assists in the Raptors vs Cavaliers matchup. Barrett has averaged 3.2 APG, and hes covered this number in two of his last five matchups, falling one assist short of covering in 3/5. With the Cavaliers letting up an average of 25.2 assists per game so far this season, our model suspects Barrett will have enough time to scrape a few together, exceeding his assists line tonight.
We recommend placing a wager on RJ Barrett Over 3.5 Total Assists, with an attractive edge of 9.1%, with +118 odds.
