Donovan Mitchell has consistently contributed to Cleveland’s perfect start, with the Cavaliers now standing at 11-0. He remains at the forefront of names to watch for betting options entering Monday’s five-game NBA slate.
Mitchell, averaging 22.5 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game this season, will look to extend Cleveland’s hot streak against a Chicago team they’ve dominated mainly in recent meetings.
Here are the best prop bets for Mitchell on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s matchup:
Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bets
Points 24.5 (Over -105 / Under -125): Mitchell’s points line sits at 24.5, a mark he surpassed in several early-season games. He averaged 27.7 points across three games against the Bulls last season, making the Over an intriguing option. However, the Under could hold value if you expect Cleveland’s offense to lean on their deep roster rather than a high-scoring night from Mitchell.
Rebounds 3.5 (Over -154 / Under +120): The rebound line for Mitchell is set at 3.5, and he’s currently averaging 3.0 boards per game. While the Over is slightly favored, bettors may look at the Under if they anticipate a slower-paced game or fewer rebounding chances for the Cavaliers’ guards. He did only get one rebound in his last outing.
Assists 9.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): Mitchell’s assists line is at 9.5, a higher-than-average line for him given his season’s 3.8 assist-per-game rate. However, he averaged 5.7 assists against the Bulls last season so bettors may find some appeal in the Over. The Under might be safer if Cleveland has a poor shooting night from his passes. He did have only one assist in his previous performance.
Threes 2.5 (Over -148 / Under +115): Mitchell’s 3-point line is 2.5, with the Over heavily favored. Given his high-volume shooting, the Over presents value if you expect him to keep firing from deep. Remember, he is averaging 3.1 makes per game this season, and he had three makes from deep in the first quarter of his previous performance alone. Still, the Under could be worth considering for those willing to take the chance on an off-shooting night.
Points + Rebounds 32.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): Mitchell’s combined line for points and rebounds is 32.5, slightly higher than his season averages. With the Cavaliers’ reliance on his scoring, the Over could offer appeal, especially given his past success against Chicago. However, the Under might attract those who believe in a more balanced team approach.
Double-Double (+1800): Mitchell is a longshot for a double-double, listed at +1800. His rebounding and assists numbers are modest, so this is a high-reward option for bettors looking for a big night.
