Dennis Schroder (Detroit Pistons) Over 5.5 Rebounds + Assists (-135)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs we look ahead to the matchup between the Cavaliers and Mavericks, Dennis Schroder stands out as a compelling prop bet for over 5.5 combined rebounds and assists. In recent outings, Schroder has been quietly effective, averaging 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds over his last five games. While those numbers might seem modest, against a Mavericks team that struggles defensively, particularly in limiting assists, we can expect him to step up. Historically, he's averaged 5.6 assists against Dallas, while their opponents have averaged just 4.2 assists against them-Schroder could easily capitalize on this trend.Moreover, his hit rate in home-away games is solid, with a 60% success rate over his last 20 games. The combination of his expected stat value of 7.5 and the Cavaliers' overall need for playmakers sets the stage for Schroder's pivotal contributions, making this prop a savvy bet.
