Analysis

Sam Merrill Points Prop is currently Over/Under 8.5 (-119/+113).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 7.5 @ -116 before it was bet up to 8.5 @ -119.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Compared to last year's 7.0 rate, Sam Merrill's points per game have spiked this year to 11.7.
The Cavaliers have been the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The Cavaliers have played at the 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The Cavaliers will likely experience a decrease in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the Knicks).
