Nets vs. Cavaliers Odds, NBA Picks, Parlay for 2/20
It’s the first game of the second half following the All-Star break for both teams, and our projections indicate strong value on the Nets side tonight.
Despite the market setting Brooklyn as a +12.5/+13 underdog, our fair line suggests a more competitive +8.1 spread, signaling an A+ strength grade in favor of the Nets. AAdditionally, some player props align with Thursday’s biggest edge against the spread.
One promising player prop is Day’Ron Sharpe’s performance. We recommend taking Sharpe over 8.5 points, with PRO Projections estimating his scoring output at 10.44 points, offering a substantial 21% edge against the market.
On the other side, Max Strus of the Cavaliers presents an opportunity as books may be overestimating his potential Thursday. Our NBA data suggests an under 9.5 points play is strong, estimating Strus’ scoring more like 7.5 points. Given the Nets’ effective defense against three-point shooters, which is a significant part of Strus’ game, this bet aligns well with the statistical landscape of the potential game script.
