The Cavaliers are hosting the Pistons on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Cleveland are 10.5-point favorites, and this game carries a total of 235 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Donovan Mitchell prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Donovan Mitchell Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Donovan Mitchell U 29.5 Points + Rebounds (-110)

While Mitchell’s recent game log looks excellent, Evan Mobley (calf) has missed four of the last five games for the Cavaliers and he will be available tonight. In the 37 starts Mitchell and Mobley have made together this season, Mitchell is averaging 22.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, both of which are decreases from his season averages.

Also, Mitchell is in a poor spot against an ascending Pistons team. Detroit owns a 9-4 record this month and a huge part of their success has been their defense, with the Pistons ranking third in defensive rating in the new year.

Mitchell only finished with 19 points and two rebounds in his first meeting of the season with Detroit in October and he should fall short of this inflated 29.5 PR combo line Monday.
