After an impressive comeback win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the Cleveland Cavaliers will head back east for a road matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are on the wrong end of a back-to-back after scoring a home win over the Phoenix Suns last night. Bettors should target this Cavaliers-Timberwolves NBA player prop for Saturday’s action — too much value remains on the player prop markets for Evan Mobley.

Best Cavaliers-Timberwolves NBA Player Prop | Evan Mobley
Evan Mobley Prop O/U 21.5 Points + Rebounds
Mobley has averaged 14.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this year — good for a 1.5-point-and-rebound edge relative to this total. But since the books expect solid interior defense and rebounding from Minnesota, bettors can get this play at a discounted price. Unfortunately, their confidence in Minnesota’s defense is entirely misplaced.
Minnesota’s star center and rim protector, Rudy Gobert, has struggled without rest this year. Gobert has averaged 12 rebounds per game this year but only 7.7 when playing the wrong end of back-to-backs. The Timberwolves lost all their games without rest that Gobert played. Worse, Minnesota has allowed the most points per game to power forwards (24.3) this season.

Mobley didn’t do much scoring in his earlier matchup against Minnesota. He totaled four points but grabbed 13 rebounds in a five-point home loss. However, the Cavaliers didn’t have multiple starters, including center Jarrett Allen, which thrust Kevin Love into the starting lineup. With Allen healthy, Mobley should spend more of his minutes at his traditional four spot. Although the scoring wasn’t there, his 13 rebounds should encourage bettors to back this prop.
Bettors looking to tail this bet should head to FanDuel Sportsbook for the best deal on the market. Mobley’s total sits at just 21.5 there, and bettors can secure juice of only -104. This line may move, especially if the Timberwolves make any late lineup swaps since they’ll play their second game in two days. New bettors at FanDuel can even secure $150 in bonus bets after placing a $5 wager! New users in Ohio can secure the same deal via this link instead.
