The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the best team in the Eastern Conference this season while being 18-3. Tonight, the Cavs host the Washinton Wizards at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Cavs beat the Wizards in their first matchup this season by 19 points.
The Cavs’ best player, Donovan Mitchell, is averaging 24.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and four assists per game while shooting a career-high 39.9 percent on three-pointers. Here is my favorite prop bet for Donovan Mitchell against the Wizards tonight.
Donovan Mitchell over 26.5 points (-120)
Mitchell is having a great season scoring the ball, scoring 30 or more points in six games. On Sunday, he is coming off a big 35-point performance against the Boston Celtics. Although his scoring has been slightly inconsistent at times, he still has finished with at least 27 points in two of the previous three games.
Mitchell has also hit this mark five times in the past 10 games. This season, he has scored over 26.5 points in seven of the 20 games he has played. You can get Mitchell’s over in points at -120 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Mitchell is tied for sixth in the NBA with most 30-point games this season.
The Wizards have allowed 123.1 points per game to opposing teams, the second-worst in the NBA. Washington has lost its previous 14 games and was most recently defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks 124-114 on Saturday. In the third game of the season, Mitchell scored 30 points against the Wizards on October 26. Six times in the last 10 games, the Wizards have allowed at least 27 points to a single player.
