Advice and prediction
The over is without a doubt the best bet from Wednesday’s game. The Cavaliers don’t have a chance in this one, but they’re still going to put points on the board in response to Brooklyn’s barrage. If either Garland or Sexton plays, the over becomes an even easier target to hit
There isn’t a great second bet on this one. The player scoring props are tough with Irving making his return. The Nets can absolutely cover the double-digit spread, but there’s also the matter of Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen potentially getting garbage time minutes.
If you’re going to go with a second bet, take the over on Irving’s scoring total.
Prediction: Nets 123, Cavaliers 111
