NBA Player Props Today – Tuesday, October 31

Randle Over/Under 3.5 Assists

Through three games this year, only the Washington Wizards have allowed more opponent assists per game than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Julius Randle has eclipsed this market number in each of his first three games played, with underlying metrics to support what we have seen on the surface. Randle has had seven, 13, and nine potential assists, respectively in his three games this season. Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland have been ruled out once again for Cleveland on Tuesday, which weakens their defense. This is a worthwhile stab on a small slate.

Mitchell Robinson Over/Under 6.5 Points

Mitchell Robinson has eclipsed this market number twice in three games to begin the new campaign, and tonight, he gets his most favorable matchup to date. Robinson is averaging 6.0 field goal attempts per game this year, 5.0 of which are coming in the restricted area. The Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the fourth-most field goal attempts in the paint of any team so far this season. Robinson has already eclipsed this market number against the New Orleans Pelicans and Atlanta Hawks, both of which defend this area of the court better than Cleveland. Robinson is well-positioned for a strong performance this evening.

Barrett More/Less Than 5.0 3-Pointers Attempted

R.J. Barrett has attempted five shots from beyond the arc or fewer in two of his first three games played this year, with his lone outlier being a six-attempt night against the New Orleans Pelicans, who have allowed the fifth-most attempts from deep this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the fourth-fewest shots from beyond the arc to begin the new campaign while simultaneously being extremely vulnerable around the rim, which is an area where Barrett thrives. This matchup sets up perfectly for Barrett to attack the basket, which should limit his interest in perimeter shot attempts on Tuesday.
