Jarrett Allen has made a strong start to the season, averaging 13,3 points per game while converting 61,3% of his field-goal attempts. His efficient finishing around the rim gives him a realistic path to reaching 13 points, especially if Cleveland creates opportunities for him inside.
Atlanta have struggled to contain opposing centers, allowing high shooting percentages at the position. Allen’s ability to score through close-range finishes and offensive rebounds could help him surpass this line without needing a high volume of shots.
One concern is his recent scoring history against Atlanta, where his production has been relatively modest. Nevertheless, his early-season efficiency and the favorable matchup make Over 12,5 worth considering.
