Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

Egor Demin has been more of a playmaker at home, but he's still averaging only 3.6 assists over his last 10 games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been solid defensively, allowing fewer assists compared to most teams, which makes it tough for any player to rack them up. With the Brooklyn Nets not forcing many turnovers, this matchup might not create enough chances for Demin to hit over 3.5 assists. The Cavaliers also struggle with rebounds, but that doesn't help Demin directly when it comes to setting up plays. He's had some games with fewer assists lately, and he could easily fall short again. Betting on him to get under 3.5 assists seems like a reasonable choice given how things have been going.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets: Keon Ellis Under 9.5 Pts + Asts (-112)

You can get Keon Ellis to score under 9.5 points and assists at -112, which looks like a solid option for this matchup. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been pretty tough on defense lately, limiting opponents to fewer threes and rebounds than most teams. This could mean fewer scoring chances for Ellis as he tries to find his rhythm. One thing to keep in mind is how close these teams are in terms of turnovers. The Nets don't force many turnovers, and Ellis might still have chances to contribute. But if he struggles to find open shots or assist opportunities, this bet could be in jeopardy. That said, our numbers suggest it's a good shot to take.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets: Egor Demin Under 17.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts (-106)

Egor Demin has been a solid player, but he's not hitting big numbers lately. At home, he averages about 16.9 points, rebounds, and assists combined, which is close to our bet line. The Cleveland Cavaliers let opponents take plenty of three-pointers, but they also hold their own on the boards, allowing fewer rebounds than the rest of the league. This means Demin might not get as many chances to rack up those stats. While he's been decent overall, the risk here is that he might not reach that 17.5 mark, especially if the game stays tight. With the Nets also playing tough defense, it could make it tricky for Demin to hit his usual numbers. So, taking the under on his total points, rebounds, and assists can be a smart choice today.
