Analysis for Cavaliers vs Lakers Player Prop Bets
As part of my analysis for the Cavaliers vs Lakers player prop bet predictions, I used the Rithmm app to analyze the last 5 total games, the last 5 away games, and the analysis of the teams to get a sense of the trends and how the player has been performing. This approach allows me to dissect the line and makes a more confident decision on placing a bet.
Research and Last 5 Games Hit Rate for Cavaliers vs Lakers Player Props
It’s the final day of 2024 and the Cavs and Lakers look to finish the year on a high note. Both of these teams have had promising starts to their seasons and want to continue to build off that momentum. The Cavaliers enter this matchup in first place in the Eastern Conference with a 28-4 record and a five-game lead over the second place Celtics. The Lakers, with first year head coach J.J. Redick, are 18-13 and sit in the seventh seed.
Part of the reason for the Cavaliers early season success is the outstanding play by Darius Garland. Through 32 games, Garland is averaging 20.7 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. He is shooting 49.9 percent from the field and 43.4 percent from three. He is taking 6.8 threes per game and getting to the line for 3.1 free throws a game. His effective field goal percentage is the highest of his career so far at 59.8 percent.
The Lakers, on the other hand, have not been the defensive minded team that they once were. They are the 21st ranked team in defensive rating with a 115.6 rating. Their opponent shoots at a 55.2 percent effective field goal rate which puts them 23rd in the league. And lastly, they give up 114.1 points per game which also puts them at the bottom half of the league at 19th.
For this game, I’ll be focusing on Darius Garland’s total points over/under. I feel with the momentum that the Cavaliers are coming in with, Garland will be able to capitalize on the Lakers porous defense. I reviewed the hit rate for both "Over" and "Under" for Garland’s last 5 games. This data gives us a good sense on how consistently a player meets or exceeds their prop lines in this Cavaliers vs Lakers player prop prediction. In the screenshot, it is clear that Garland has hit that over four out of the last five games. In those last five games, he averaged 23.0 points, exceeding the 20.5 total point spread by 2.5 points. He had a high of 26 points in that stretch and a low of 16.
Last 5 Away Games Hit Rate for Cavaliers vs Lakers Player Props
Next, I focused on how Darius Garland has performed in away games being that this game is in Los Angeles. It is always a different experience playing in Los Angeles so it is important to analyze the away statistics closely. In the last five away games, he has not been as successful. Measured against the given total points line, he successfully surpassed 20.5 points still just three times. For this look, he averaged just 20.4 points, actually failing to reach the spread line by 0.1 points. He had a low of 11 points which dragged the average lower.
Cavaliers vs Lakers AI Player Prop Predictions
Based on all the gathered data and trends, my AI model has generated specific predictions for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Los Angeles Lakers player props. The final screenshot shows what the model predicts and recommends for the Darius Garland total points player prop. The Rithmm app predicts that he will be at 25.2 points for this game. This is a fairly significant edge on the given line of 20.5 points.
With my own analysis and the Rithmm model predicting that Garland gets 25.2 points, I am taking Darius Garland OVER on the total points of 20.5.
