CLE vs LAC: Players to watch out
Jarrett Allen: Jarrett Allen is a player to watch out for due to his recent performance, consistently surpassing the NBA prop of 16.5 points in the last two games. With the potential absence of Donovan Mitchell, Allen might be tasked with an increased offensive role to compensate for the team's leading scorer. This makes him a key figure in the upcoming game against the Clippers, where he is expected to exceed expectations and contribute significantly to his team's success.
James Harden: Keep an eye on James Harden as a key player for the Clippers. With a notable NBA prop of 18.5 points, he has consistently surpassed this mark in four out of the last three games, barring the most recent one. The dynamic addition to the team makes Harden a player to watch, poised for a bounce-back performance, and likely to exceed expectations once again.
