As the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2021-22 preseason begins on October 5, two key betting opportunities stand out for NBA futures:

Cavaliers Over 27.5 Wins (-110)

• Strong value bet considering improved roster depth
• Addition of veterans Lauri Markkanen and Ricky Rubio strengthens bench
• Frontcourt pairing of rookie Evan Mobley with Jarrett Allen adds defensive presence
• Young guard duo provides scoring punch
• 82-game season (vs 72 last year) offers more win opportunities
• Line appears too low given roster improvements

Evan Mobley Rookie of the Year (+800)

• Strong value despite Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green being favorites
• Unique skillset as defensive anchor who can block shots and rebound
• Potential for consistent double-doubles
• Working to develop 3-point shot with veteran guidance
• Internal competition with Markkanen could accelerate development
• Statistical production matters more than team success for ROY voting

The Cavaliers have positioned themselves to exceed low market expectations through strategic additions and player development. While competing for a play-in spot in the East, both the win total and Mobley ROY odds offer betting value at current prices.

Note: Odds and analysis as of October 2021. Always check current lines and do your own research before placing bets.
