Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and LA Lakers are in back to back spots. For the Lakers they did rest Luka Doncic in yesterday’s win over the Washington Wizards. I also expect the Lakers to be motivated seeing a Cavaliers team that trounced them in January 129 to 99. The extra energy for the Lakers should be there as they had one of the easiest schedules over the last week, in which they faced Indiana, Brooklyn, and Washington. Since December the Lakers are also 5 and 1 to the over on the second night of back to backs. Take the over.

Jarrett Allen played 18 minutes in his first game back from a 10-game absence due to knee tendinitis, racking up 18 points and 10 rebounds against the Heat. He should see 20-25 minutes in Tuesday's showdown with the Lakers after sitting out Monday's game. He has cleared this prop total in 15 of his last 16 games. Even with a few fewer minutes, I love Allen to thrive in this matchup after resting since Friday.

Evan Mobley has scored 17+ points in nine of his last 10 games, averaging 22 PPG over this stretch. He's also gone over this prop line in 13 of the last 15 games overall and in 69.2% of games in which he plays 28+ minutes. He's played 28+ minutes in 12 of the last 13 games. Mobley faces a Lakers defense that is allowing a league-high 11.9 FG per game and 68.3 FG pct (3rd-worst) inside 5 feet this season, where Mobley shines. He's taken 73.1 pct of his shots from less than 5 feet this season. Mobley did not play vs. the Lakers earlier this year, but scored 20 and 25 in the two meetings last year.

Luka Doncic was suspended for Monday’s game against the Wizards after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season. Before the suspension, he averaged 39.7 points over his previous 12 games. He averaged a whopping 27.3 shot attempts and 9.6 free throw attempts during that span. The Cavaliers have struggled on the defensive end since acquiring James Harden, including ranking 20th in the league in defensive rating over their last 10 games. This is a big number, but I still like the over.

Evan Mobley has been playing arguably the best basketball of his career in the month of March averaging 21/10/3 on impressive efficiency. He will face a Lakers team that gives up a ton of production to opposing scoring forwards. Mobley has been extremely active on the glass and is averaging 12 RPG over his last 9 appearances. With Jarrett Allen on the shelf, Mobley should get all the run he can handle and looks poised for a high volume role in a game that projects to be competitive.
