Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Player Prop Picks 2/12/25 NBA Picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers (43-10) will face the Toronto Raptors (16-37) on February 12, 2025, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Cavaliers are coming off a dominant 128-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Evan Mobley led with 28 points, and Donovan Mitchell added We’ve seen 23. This win marked Cleveland’s third consecutive victory and seventh in their last eight games. The Cavaliers boast the league’s second-best offense, averaging 122.5 points per game, and lead in three-point shooting at 39.5%. Defensively, they allow 112 points per game, ranking 12th in the NBA.

The Raptors, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing four consecutive games and five of their last six. In their recent 94-87 loss to the Houston Rockets, Immanuel Quickley scored 20 points, while Scottie Barnes contributed 15. Toronto’s offense ranks 20th in the league, averaging 110.7 points per game, while their defense ranks 25th, allowing 116.5 points per game.

Jarrett Allen Over 10.5 Rebounds

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen has been a consistent presence on the boards during this NBA season. He’s averaging 10.3 rebounds per game, ranking him 12th in the league. His rebounding efforts are well-distributed, with 2.7 offensive rebounds and 7.6 defensive rebounds per game.

We’ve seen Jarrett Allen clear this rebounding line in his last four games and I don’t see him slowing down in this one. He’s going up against this Toronto Raptors team that has been weak in the paint this season. Toronto is giving up an average of 53.4 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is the fifth most in the league. Jarrett Allen is one of the best rebounders in the world and I expect him to clean up on the glass once again in this one 

Scottie Barnes Under 5.5 Assists 

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has been a significant playmaker during this NBA season. Over 40 games, he is averaging 6.4 assists per game, ranking him 13th in the league. Barnes’ assist-to-turnover ratio stands at approximately 2.13, with 6.4 assists and 3.0 turnovers per game.

With that being said this line for Scottie Barnes’s assist seems too high. He’s only gotten over five assists and two of his last seven games. He has a tough matchup going against the Cleveland Cavs who have been great defending guards this season. The Cavs are only giving up 25.5 assists per game to opposing teams which is one of the fewest in the league.

Darius Garland Over 20.5 Points

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been a key offensive contributor during the 2024-25 NBA season. He’s averaging 21.8 points per game, ranking him 28th in the league. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 49.9%, with 7.8 made field goals on 15.6 attempts per game. From beyond the arc, Garland averages 3.0 three-pointers made on 6.9 attempts, resulting in a 43.8% three-point shooting percentage. At the free-throw line, he has been reliable, making 3.2 free throws on 3.6 attempts per game, achieving an 87.5% free-throw percentage. 

Darius Garland has scored over 20 points in seven of his last nine games. We’ve seen him take some of the workload off Donovan Mitchell’s back as of late. Toronto has played in some high-scoring games so far this season giving up an average of 116.5 points per game to opposing teams which is the sixth most in the league. This sets up for another big game from Darius Garland.
