Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Donovan Mitchell Over 30.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)
Despite only playing 29 minutes in Monday’s 28-point blowout win over the Suns, Mitchell finished with 33 points and five rebounds. Evan Mobely (calf) missed this game and the forward will miss his fifth contest of the season Wednesday. With the flourishing Mobley absent, Mitchell takes on a much larger role and he has been outstanding. In the four starts Mitchell has made without Mobley this season, Mitchell is averaging 31.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and he has exceeded 30.5 PR in three of these four games.
Not only has Mitchell handled an increased role as a scorer, but he has been more active on the glass with Mobley missing. In the four games with the big man inactive this season, Mitchell’s usage has risen 3.4 percentage points to 34.4% and his rebound rate has increased 2.4 percentage points to 10.4%.
Mitchell is in a tough spot vs. the Rockets tonight, who rank second in defensive efficiency, but this game sports a healthy 230.5-point total and it should be competitive thoughtout, with the Cavaliers only favored by 2.5 points. Mitchell should see right around 35 minutes in this setting and top this 30.5 PR line that is far too low for life without Mobley.
