NBA Prop Analysis - Tuesday March 10

Well, if you already follow my twitter page (@Gamble_IQ), then this is your daily announcement/reminder to SLAM KEVIN LOVE’S OVER.  All of my followers are already well aware of what Kevin Love religiously does when Tristan Thompson is injured.  but if you don’t allow me to enlighten you…

Since February 1st, Tristan Thompson has missed 5 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In all 5 of those games, Kevin Love went over his current tot. stats line posted by Fanduel (30.5), averaging over 24 points per game in those games.  

Its, a 30.5 total pts + reb + ast line. 

It’s Kevin Frickin’ Love. The dude lives for hustle stats. It’s ANOTHER ONE. (**DJ Khaled voice).

OVER.

On February 29th, K-Love tallied a 20-point, 12-rebound, 7-assist game against the Indiana Pacers. In that game, Kevin Love had a reliable big to get the ball to and cash in on all those assists he normally would get if he was playing with “Pre-Heartbreak Tristan Thompson.”

He also just ferociously chases rebounds like prime T-Wolves K-Love used to when he played for that sorry excuse of a team the year he left. (Similar to the talent level he is accompanied with in Cleveland currently)

The big he was able to get the ball to was Andre Drummond, who actually looked like guy the Cavs traded for at the trade deadline, going over the points + rebound total posted for the first time since his debut as a Cav. (41 point loss to LAC he went over)

Was Andre Drummond’s explosion on 2/29 an outlier from his totals in Cleveland?

Yes.

And you are never supposed to bet on an outlier occurring, right?

Wrong. 

This is why…

During those 5 games Tristan Thompson sat out, 2 of those occurred while Drummond was somehow playing for a sorrier team than the team he got traded to.

Two of the games Thompson sat out, Drummond also did not dress for, allowing K-Love to CRUISE to his over in the first 4.

But in that Indiana game on 2/29, Drummond went over that 32.5 total for the first time since his debut as a Cavalier, scoring 27 points and grabbing 13 boards.

Now this is just one game against a pretty good team, is that indicative of what will happen tonight against a bad team that is banged up?

I would argue yes, but if you aren’t sold yet, here’s the kicker…

Tristan Thompson started the game on the bench for the Cavs in his last game, which has been his role since the addition of Drummond.

After the Cavs and Spurs broke for halftime, Thompson was unable to return.

At this point in time, Thompson had only recorded 8 minutes, which would appear to have little effect on Drummond/Love’s numbers.

At the half, Love had 6 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. Drummond had 17 points and 6 rebounds. Tristan Thompson did not play the rest of the way, and it was Kevin Love and Andre Drummond-time…

K-Love, finishing the game with 14 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 assists. Drummond finished with 28 points and 17 rebounds.

The Cavs open a six-game road trip against the Bulls tonight, and I expect them to do it in dramatic fashion in Chicago tonight.

The Bulls are decimated by injury. They will be without their best player and leading scorer, Zach Lavine. They also just recently lost PF Chandler Hutchinson, C Luke Kornet, and PG Kris Dunn to extended timeframe injuries, and I think it’s fair to say they still haven’t quite figured it out yet, losing 13 of their last 15 games.

Drummond has played over 30 minutes in his last 2 games, averaging 27.5 points and 15 rebounds.

I expect him to do that tonight and more against these bums.

These Fanduel lines STINK. Make them pay for their laziness.

Slam both of their OVER’s while you still can at this price.
