The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their strong start to the 2022-23 season with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. They’ll now have to face the Memphis Grizzlies without star guard Donovan Mitchell. Bettors should target this Cavaliers-Grizzlies NBA player prop for Wednesday’s action — too much value remains on the player prop markets for Kevin Love.

Best Cavaliers-Grizzlies NBA Player Prop | Kevin Love
Kevin Love Prop O/U 1.5 3-Pointers
Love, who nearly won Sixth Man of the Year last season, should give the Cavaliers a spark off the bench tonight. The veteran big man has averaged 1.7 3-pointers per game this year. That number jumps to a whopping 2.7 when Donovan Mitchell sits. Few players on Cleveland’s roster can shoot from long range with accuracy, so Mitchell’s absence will force Love and Darius Garland to step up.
The Memphis Grizzlies have allowed the ninth-most 3-pointers per game this year (12.7) but on the eighth-lowest shooting percentage (34.9%). Most of those shots have come from above the break — the Grizzlies have allowed the fourth-most 3-pointers from above the break per game (9.9). Mitchell leads Cleveland in attempts from above the break per game (8.7), but Garland (5.4) and Love (4.1) slot in right behind him.

Little value remains on Garland’s 3-point props, especially because Memphis can actually defend opposing point guards. The Grizzlies have allowed the 13th-fewest 3-pointers per game (2.8) and the third-fewest points (21.4) to opposing point guards this year. They rank third (1.8) and fourth (20.5) in the two metrics over the last seven games. In contrast, they have allowed the sixth-most 3-pointers per game to power forwards (2.5).
