FanDuel. Ok down to under 28.5. Ja Morant is averaging 27.8 points plus assists this season, but that number falls to 26.7 when he plays alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane - both expected to be active today. He’s under this line in 16/26 such instances, including 13/18 against the top 20 pick and roll defenses. The Cavs rank 8th against Pick and Roll ball-handlers. No Darius Garland for Cleveland, which likely means more time for the Cavs plus perimeter defenders (namely Isaac Okoro).

We got burned taking Ja Morant a few days ago against the Pacers but I'm going right back to the proverbial well in another fantastic spot. This game has a mammoth 250 point total, in addition to featuring the two highest scoring teams in the Association. Ja has scored 20+ in 4 of his last 6 appearances and he passes the eye test to me. This feels like a discount considering Ja was dealing with various injuries pre All-Star break and should be in line for 35+ minutes in what should be a paced up high scoring affair.
