Mavericks vs. Raptors Odds & Betting Predictions - February 29, 2024

@ChrisRaybon

Maxi Kleber is out tonight for the Mavericks, and I don’t think this line has caught up to that news yet. Gafford’s minutes have gone way down in the last couple games, but in the two games since becoming a Maverick without Maxi Kleber, Gafford has racked up 19 and 20 P+R. Over the last 30 days the Raptors are allowing the seventh-most rebounds and the tenth-most points to opposing centers. Gafford played 20+ minutes in both games without Kleber, and when playing 20+ minutes, he has hit this number in 15 straight (some of those games with Washington).

🎙️ Discussed on the Cash That Podcast Scottie Barnes and the Raptors host the Dallas Mavericks tonight on Luka Doncic’s birthday. I expect Barnes to find success on the glass. His rebounds prop is set at 7.5, a number he has exceeded in six of his last seven games with 10+ in five of them. Looking at this specific matchup, Barnes has secured 14 and 11 boards in his last two against Dallas. The Mavericks allow the second-most rebounds per game to their opponents (54.5) and if Poeltl (ankle) is out, this will only increase Barnes’ opportunities. I expect Barnes to exceed 7.5 Rebounds tonight.

Barnes has cleared this number in 6 of his last 7 games overall, piling up 10/10/9/12/12/5/12 rebounds over that span. He’s also cleared this number in each of his last two games against the Mavericks, finishing with 11 and 12 rebounds in those games. The Mavericks are giving up the sixth-most rebounds to opposing PF’s over the last 30 days, so it’s a nice spot for Barnes to keep it rolling.
