Donovan Mitchell looks to continue his scoring tear as the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors on Monday night at Chase Center. Boasting an NBA-best 27-4 record, Cleveland enters riding a six-game winning streak and flexing the league’s most efficient offense.
Here’s a featured Donovan Mitchell prop bet to consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s game against the Warriors.
Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Donovan Mitchell Over 22.5 Points (-110)
Mitchell has averaged 23.6 points per game this season, leading Cleveland’s potent offensive attack. He’s coming off a 33-point performance against the Denver Nuggets, his highest-scoring outing since he had 35 against the Boston Celtics to open December.
The Cavaliers’ offensive firepower has been a key to their success, with Mitchell spearheading the charge. In Cleveland’s previous matchup against Golden State on November 8, Mitchell was held to 12 points. His ability to create off the dribble and knock down perimeter shots has made him a consistent threat against teams that lack elite perimeter defense.
When Mitchell clicks from beyond the arc, it’s easy for him to put up a high volume of points quickly. He shot 6 of 12 from deep against Denver, helping to fuel the team’s season-high 149-point performance. The Warriors will surely do their best to contain him from deep, but the lack of elite rim protection could allow Mitchell to find a helpful balance between getting downhill and looking to create his shot from a distance.
Golden State has recently struggled, losing seven of their last 10 games. Even in Saturday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns, the Warriors allowed 31 points to Kevin Durant.
Mitchell’s last performance provides reason for confidence in him surpassing the 22.5-point mark, especially with the Warriors’ defensive inconsistencies.
