The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a seven-game winning streak and are in Los Angeles tonight to face the Lakers at 9:00 p.m. ET. The Cavs beat the Lakers in their lone matchup this season 134-110 on October 30.
Cleveland has had a balanced attack this season on offense, with six players averaging double figures a night. But Donovan Mitchell is still their leader, so let’s look at my favorite prop bet for him against the Lakers tonight.
Donovan Mitchell over 3.5 three-pointers (-125)
Mitchell has been inconsistent in scoring the ball this season. He averages three fewer points per game this season but is having his best year shooting the ball from long range. Mitchell is shooting 41.3 percent on three-pointers; his previous best was 38.6 percent.
This month, Mitchell is shooting 45.1 percent on threes. He has made over 3.5 in four straight games and seven of the previous 10 games. You can get Mitchell’s over in three-pointers at -125 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
On October 30 against the Lakers, Mitchell made four three-pointers. He has hit that mark in four of his previous seven games against the Lakers. A key for Mitchell hitting this over in threes is attempting 10 or more of them in the game. In the last 10 times that Mitchell attempted 10 or more three-pointers, he has hit this total eight times.
Mitchell has had four or more three-pointers in 18 of 31 games this season. Backing Mitchell to hit more than 3.5 threes is a good play since it is the most reliable area of his game.
