Best Donovan Mitchell prop bets for Cavaliers vs. Timberwolves

Sports Betting Picks NBA DraftKings Network Rail

The Cavaliers are hosting the Timberwolves on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Cleveland is favored by 9.5 points and this game carries a total of 230.5 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 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-115)

Mitchell went off for 36 points and eight rebounds vs. the Timberwolves last month, but the Cavaliers were shorthanded that night with Evan Mobley inactive. Mobley is now healthy and with the forward available, Mitchell’s numbers have slightly suffered. In the 43 games Mitchell and Mobley have played together this season, Mitchell is averaging 23.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Minnesota ranks sixth in defensive rating this season and Julius Randle (shoulder) being out makes this an even worse matchup than usual. With the forward off the floor this season, the Timberwolves’ defensive rating has been 3.2 points better than with Randle on the court.

This could end up being a defensive battle between the Cavaliers and Timberwolves, and Mitchell should stay under 28.5 PR in this spot.
