Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

Cavaliers vs Thunder Same Game Parlay odds: +517

Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 (-108)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling. They are on a 7-game win streak and over the last 10 games they lead the league in net offensive and defensive rating. They are taking on a team today that is 8th in that category, but could have issues living up to that standard here. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams will both be unavailable which deprives the hosts of their leading scorers and playmakers. That should be too hard for them to overcome against such an inform team. With Evan Mobley back, they will be well positioned to match up against Chet Holmgren, who will have to take on a larger offensive role today. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell taking to the floor, the visitors will have too much firepower and should be able to cover the spread.

Isaiah Hartenstein over 4.5 assists (-136)

With Williams and Gilgeous-Alexander out, the Thunder will need another player to take on playmaking duties. As one if the best passing centers in the league, Isaiah Hartenstein should be that player here. He has shown he is capable in recent games too, hitting the over on this line in 4 of his last 5 games. Hartenstein came one short in the other contest while also recording 10 or more assists on 2 occasions during that stretch. Overall, he is averaging 6.3 dimes per game in February so far. Being matched up against an in-form Jarrett Allen should help ensure he has a large role to play here. That should give him enough opportunities to influence this game with his passing.

Jared McCain over 1.5 made threes (-154)

Without the reigning MVP in the fold another guard will have to step up. Jared McCain has been able to do so of late, especially from beyond the arc. In February so far he is making 45.8% of his attempts from 3-point range. It is no surprise to see that he has knocked down 2 or more shots from beyond the arc in each of the last 3 games. Over the last 10 games no team in the league has allowed opponents to shoot more 3-pointers than the Cavaliers. Considering the efficiency McCain has been shooting with, he will have a great chance of keeping his streak going considering the attempts he is likely to get here.
