Both teams have leaned on exceptional offensive production to get to this point, something that was easy to attest to soft scheduling early on but has quickly been proven legitimate in the last week. Can these two teams keep it up, and more importantly which players will star with the ball in their hands?

Let's build a same-game parlay for Warriors vs Cavaliers on Friday, November 8th and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

Draymond Green Over 6.5 Rebounds

We're going to focus heavily on forwards here, which seems fitting in a game between two teams which have been just as excellent on defense as they have in scoring the ball.

The first man we'll target is Draymond Green, who may have some issues scoring the ball against a formidable Cavaliers frontcourt but should be in a generous spot as it pertains to cleaning up some misses.

  • Green has now recorded 25 rebounds in his past three games to give him an average well over this number, and the Cavaliers rank 15th in rebounding rate through the first nine games of their season.

This isn't anything new, considering they finished last season in 15th place, and the real spot of weakness has seem to come against opposing power forwards, who have recorded almost 14 rebounds per game. That makes Cleveland the second-friendliest team on the boards to the position in the league.

I anticipate plenty of missed shots with both teams sitting inside the top 10 in defensive efficiency, and in a pace-up spot for the Warriors we should see even mor possessions than normal.

Andrew Wiggins Over 13.5 Points

We noted above that this is a pace-up spot for Golden State, and with Green himself listed as questionable along with Brandin Podziemski, the Warriors may have no choice but to once again lean on Wiggins for some big minutes in such a momentous game.

  • Since returning from an injury which kept him out two games, Wiggins has only seen his minutes increase -- other than a win over the Wizards where the team looked to ease him back into action.

Should he play over 30 minutes as he did against the Celtics two games back, the volume should certainly be there. Cleveland has been stingy on the arc when it comes to limiting looks from 3, but it has ranked 26th against the outside shot which should help Wiggins break out of a miniature shooting slump.

  • We've seen Wiggins take a ton of shots from outside, and in all he's now shot the ball 14 or more times in three of his six games.

Cleveland's only weakness has been on the arc, but it's also allowed plenty of shots to come from the mid-range and the rim, which should afford Wiggins all the opportunities he needs to get home on a generous number he's hit in four of six contests.


Evan Mobley 2+ Blocks

The Cavaliers have seemed content to let their opponents shoot at the rim this year, and their shot-blockers are a huge reason as to why.

  • Cleveland has sat in the top 10 when it comes to shots allowed at the rim per game, and ranks fourth in overall defense against these looks.

The Warriors are right around the middle of the NBA with 4.9 blocks per 100 possessions allowed to opponents, on account of a growing trend in the last week and a half that's seen them take more shots inside than we're used to seeing.

This should mean more blocks for Evan Mobley, who has recorded three in each of his past two games and two or more in all but three of his nine outings this year. To make that look like an even spicier trend, one of those nights he didn't hit this milestone was when he played just 18 minutes in a blowout loss to the Lakers.

Matched up with Green, Mobley should enjoy a size advantage inside and I expect him to continue tormenting opposing frontcourts with his length and shot-blocking ability.
