Cavs vs. Heat Game 2 player prop bets

Taking a look at some of FanDuel’s best player props for Game 2.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to back up their Game 1 win as they host the Miami Heat tonight for Game 2. Our friends at FanDuel are offering player prop bets for all playoff games.

Last game, my picks went 2-2. I was right on the Ty Jerome over +15 points pick (that was easy money) and Donovan Mitchell finishing with more than 1.5 steals. De’Andre Hunter let me down and my longshot bet that Darius Garland would record a triple-double didn’t hit.

I’ll try to do better this time around!

Evan Mobley first basket +470

Betting on who will score the first points of the game is always a long shot, but there’s reason to believe that the Cavs will try to feed Mobley early considering he had a tough time finding his shot in Game 1. Head coach Kenny Atkinson will likely try to instill some confidence in him. Why not run a play for him on the team’s first possession?

Evan Mobley over 4.5 first quarter points -114

Sticking with the thought process from the previous bet, the Cavs will likely feature Mobley early. Five or more first-quarter points seems very doable.

Max Strus over 3.5 rebounds -144

Atkinson talked about wanting to see his team rebound better. One of the guys who has the capabilities of stepping up in that department is Strus.

Strus has been a good rebounder throughout his time in Cleveland. He does a good job of fighting for position and has the determination needed to grab contested boards.

Ty Jerome over 14.5 points +205

There’s no need to go away from what’s working. Jerome can be a streaky scorer. He has it going right now. Jerome ended the regular season on a hot streak and carried it over to the playoffs.

He may not score 28 again, but there’s a decent chance he could exceed 15.

Ty Jerome 4+ asssts +190

Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra threw double teams at Jerome to try and force the ball out of his hands at the end of Game 1. Jerome is a capable playmaker. If he does so again, he’ll likely find his teammates for open shots.

Maybe this is a hedge from the over 14.5 points bet from earlier, but there’s reason to believe that the ball will be in Jerome’s hands a lot this evening. More often than not, Jerome has shown that he can make the right play based on what the defense is showing him.
