Donovan Mitchell has been integral to the Cavaliers’ perfect start under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, helping the team to a 10-0 record. This group will look to extend its best start in franchise history with a matchup against the Nets on Saturday night.
While Cleveland’s scoring depth has been impressive, Mitchell continues to play a crucial role on offense. He’s averaging 22.6 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.2 rebounds through ten games.
After scoring a season-low 12 points against the Warriors on Friday, Mitchell will look to bounce back against a Nets team he’s dominated in the past.
Here are some of the best Donovan Mitchell prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s matchup:
Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bets
24.5 Points (Over -105 / Under -125): Mitchell’s points line is set at 24.5, with the over and under offering balanced odds. He’s currently averaging 22.6 points this season but has a strong history against Brooklyn, scoring an average of 33.0 points against them last season. The over could be appealing if Mitchell regains his rhythm, while the under is worth considering for those who expect Cleveland’s balanced offense to limit his output.
3.5 Rebounds (Over -142 / Under +110): The line of 3.5 rebounds is close to Mitchell’s season average of 3.2 boards, though he averaged 7.3 rebounds per game against Brooklyn last season. The over is slightly favored, reflecting his ability to step up on the glass. The under, however, remains an option if Cleveland relies more on its frontcourt to control the boards.
4.5 Assists (Over +126 / Under -162): With an average of 4.1 assists this season, Mitchell’s playmaking is critical for the Cavaliers. Against Brooklyn last season, he averaged 5.3 assists, suggesting potential value in the over at +126. Bettors may prefer the under at -162 if they expect Mitchell to focus more on scoring than facilitating.
2.5 Threes (Over -182 / Under +140): Mitchell’s efficiency from beyond the arc has been vital for Cleveland. While the over is heavily favored, making it less lucrative, he could easily surpass this mark. For those looking for a bigger payout, the under is an option, though it would require an uncharacteristically quiet shooting night from Mitchell.
28.5 Points + Rebounds (Over -110 / Under -120): This combined line is set at 28.5, offering bettors the chance to consider Mitchell’s all-around production. With a combined average of 25.8 points and rebounds this season, the over and under have value depending on his anticipated workload.
