Magic vs Cavaliers: 3 Player Prop Predictions for Tuesday, March 24

Happy Tuesday to all! If you’re anything like us, you’re a little exhausted after watching March Madness this weekend, which turned out to be an amazing slate of games. So many contests went down to the wire, and we can’t wait for the Sweet Sixteen, which should be even more exciting!

However, those games don’t start until Thursday, so we have two more days without college basketball and need to find a way to tide us over. Thankfully, there is some NBA action going down tonight, albeit only a four-game slate.

We decided to focus our player prop efforts on the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat, finding some great value over on Underdog. Let’s get into our top picks from this one, hoping to sweep the board to start the week!

Max Strus OVER 4.5 Rebounds

Call us recency merchants all you want, but we don’t care. Max Strus’ rebounding numbers have been absolutely insane lately, and as long as Underdog is going to keep his line under 5, we’re taking it until further notice.

Strus has put up 5+ boards in a staggering 11-straight games, and that’s not a streak we’re messing with, especially in a matchup with the Magic. The Magic aren’t an easy opponent by any means, but they’re also not the most difficult, so it shouldn’t be hard for Strus to go over on this line.

Jamal Cain UNDER 4.5 Rebounds & Assists

We have no idea why Cain’s RA number is so high in this one, especially considering he’s averaging just 9 minutes per game on the season. He is averaging 3.3 RA over the past month, but it’s not even remotely high enough for us to consider taking the over in this spot.

Cain has gone under 5 RA in 7 of his past 10 games, and in a contest that could be a back-and-forth affair, we’re projecting low minutes and output from him, which is why he should go under in this spot.

Dennis Schroder OVER 2.5 Assists

Dennis Schroder has been a great distributor of the basketball for the Cavaliers in recent history. He’s had 3+ in 4 of his past 5 games, and that trend could certainly continue tonight as he tries to get all of his teammates involved from the get-go.

This team has learned to depend on him in this area, so we’re banking on him going over on the assist line here too.
