The Cleveland Cavaliers began the season 15-0 and in first place in the Eastern Conference. But last night, they suffered their first loss of the season to the defending NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics. They will look to get back on track tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Although the Cavs lost last night, Donovan Mitchell led both teams in scoring with 35 points. Mitchell is averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and four assists while shooting a career-high 40.9 percent on three-pointers.
Here are some player props for Donovan Mitchell against the Pelicans tonight.
Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The lines for Mitchell tonight are 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.5 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Mitchell has scored at least 35 points in three of the previous four games. It is excellent value to get Mitchell’s over 24.5 points at -115. He has scored more than 24.5 points in five of 10 games this month.
Mitchell has had at least seven rebounds in each of the past five games. Before those five games, he only totaled five rebounds twice this season. Even though his rebounding surge has only lasted for a few games, getting over 4.5 boards at +105 on DraftKings Sportsbook is still surprising.
Mitchell is having the best season of his career from deep. He has made at least four three-pointers in four of his last five games. Mitchell only made three of 11 three-point attempts last night against the Celtics. He is in a great spot to bounce back tonight against the Pelicans, who are fourth in opponents three-point percentage of 37.7 percent.
