Player Analysis: Nic Claxton
Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton has been solid in the last few games, averaging 5.8 shots per game over the last 5 games, which is a significant increase from his season average. However, a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers brings specific challenges that could limit his scoring output.
The Cavaliers are among the teams with the fastest pace of play over the last 25 games (5th in the league), which generally increases the number of possessions per game. However, this pace won’t necessarily mean more points for Claxton, as Cleveland is extremely strong in defending the racquet area thanks to the presence of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, who are excellent at defending the interior and blocking shots.
Claxton’s game is primarily focused on finishing moves in the racket, but he will have a hard time dealing with the strong defensive line of the Cavaliers. Also, Brooklyn has one of the best three-point shooting performances (15.4 3s made per game, 3rd in the league), which means some of the action will go to the perimeter, rather than creating space for Claxton under the basket.
While the home ground may improve his efficiency a bit, it should not be forgotten that Claxton is not the primary attacking option in the team. His role is more about defensive contribution and rebounding than scoring.
Betting suggestion: Under 11.5 points
Given the strong racket defense of the Cavaliers, the Nets’ focus on three-point shooting, and Claxton’s role on the team, it is realistic to expect him not to exceed the 11.5 point mark. This guy seems safe, especially considering the style of play of both teams.
