The Cleveland Cavaliers lost a close game in Donovan Mitchell’s return to Utah on Tuesday. They’ll stay out west with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. The Trail Blazers have listed Damian Lillard as questionable for the matchup, so uncertainty abounds for tonight’s contest. But regardless of Lillard’s status, bettors should target this Cavaliers-Trail Blazers NBA player prop for Thursday’s action — too much value remains on the player prop markets for Jarrett Allen.

Best Cavaliers-Trail Blazers NBA Player Prop Bet | Jarrett Allen
Jarrett Allen Prop O/U 12.5 Points
Bettors can get Allen at a one-point discount following his mid-game disappearance against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Allen’s ailment has earned him a probable designation tonight, but it sounded like the star center had a bad case of food poisoning but nothing more serious. His matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers is a fantastic bounce-back spot.
Portland has struggled to defend opposing centers. The Trail Blazers have given up the fourth-most points per game to the position (25.3). That number has fluctuated a bit this year, but Portland ranks fourth-worst over the last seven games (25.3) as well. Some recent lowlights include Wendell Carter Jr. scoring 20 points against them on Tuesday, Pascal Siakam getting 27 on Sunday and Rudy Gobert scoring 17 last Wednesday.

Jarrett Allen cooked the Trail Blazers in their first meeting. The star big man scored a season-high 24 points — and he did it with most of Cleveland’s personnel available. Only Caris LeVert and Kevin Love missed that game, so his production wasn’t an injury-caused outlier. Allen has scored at least 13 points in 20 of his 35 appearances this year, which gives this play a raw hit rate of 57.1%.
