The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a minor setback last night after losing to the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s the first time Cleveland has lost back-to-back games since late January, so they look to get back in the win column as usual tonight against the Sacramento Kings.
Here’s the top Donovan Mitchell prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook ahead of the 10 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Donovan Mitchell prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Mitchell’s props are set at 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 37.5.
The Kings are down a man tonight as Domantas Sabonis is set to miss multiple games with an ankle injury. Without Sabonis in the lineup, they’ll be missing much of their typical playmaking and rebounding production. Sacramento also ranks 18th in defensive rating on the campaign.
Darius Garland is out tonight for a rest game, meaning Mitchell should have the ball in his hands a bit more than usual. As such, his scoring line is a bit higher than on most nights, as is his assists line. The 28-year-old is already an All-NBA talent, but without Garland in the lineup, I quite like his chances of recording over 33.5 combined points and assists tonight at +100 odds. Over his tenure as a Cavalier, Mitchell averages 29.7 points and 6.8 assists in 32 games without Garland. Take advantage of the plus-odds while you can.
The other Mitchell prop bet to check out is in the three-pointers market. DraftKings Sportsbook has set his over/under line at 3.5 made threes. This is a prime matchup for Mitchell to exceed that mark — the Kings give up the second-most threes per game and allow opponents to shoot a league-worst 38.3% from deep. Over 3.5 made threes is available at -125 odds and is a nice pick given both the Kings’ weak perimeter defense and the projected uptick in opportunities for Mitchell.
