Power Play
Kevin Love sat out the Cleveland Cavaliers last game, but he found plenty of success prior to that. Over his last 4 games, Love is averaging 21.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists (41.2 fantasy points) in 32.0 minutes per game. He was able to score 36+ fantasy points in each of those games. On the season, Love is averaging 1.11 fantasy points per minute, and he’s expected to find minutes in the 30s tonight. He gets a plus matchup against the Toronto Raptors, who continue to deal with injuries throughout their lineup. Love has been a massive part of the Cleveland offense, and he’ll likely step back into that role tonight. Outside of seeing limited minutes, Love makes an elite option for the over in this play.
Kyle Lowry has cooled off a bit recently. Still, he’s averaging 25.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 1.2 steals (43.0 fantasy points) in 40.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days. Lowry has also scored 42+ fantasy points in 5 of his last 7 games. He gets an elite matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have struggled defensively this season. Most importantly, Lowry is expected to continue to play minutes in the high-30s or low-40s tonight. This total is a bit low for those minutes, making him an outstanding option on this slate.
