There’s just four games on the NBA slate tonight, but the nightcap should be a great matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers.
Here’s the top prop bet for Donovan Mitchell as he leads the charge for the Cavs tonight at 10:30 p.m. EST.
Best Donovan Mitchell prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Mitchell’s props are set at 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 33.5.
The opposing Clippers are eighth in the Western Conference with a 38-30 record. They allow the fourth-fewest points to opposing teams and rank second in defensive rating, so while the Cavaliers are the superior team, this is no walk in the park for Mitchell and Co.
The star shooting guard’s 4.5 assists line is one to check out despite the -145 odds the over holds. He’s gone over that 4.5 line with at least five assists in 13 of his last 15 contests, with a hit rate of 38/61 overall on the season. Mitchell is a very reliable playmaker and remains the lead option for the Cavaliers, who rank eighth in assists per game. Against a strong defense such as the Clippers’, he’ll have the ball in his hands plenty tonight.
While this prop bet isn’t stellar value on its own, consider parlaying it with an alt line like 20+ points to reach -105 odds and increase the potential payout. It’s not flashy, but it’s a solid way to leverage a low line into greater value.
