Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Orlando Magic on the road, eyes will be on Donovan Mitchell, but the smart money leans towards him staying under 28.5 points. While Mitchell has dazzled with a stellar average of 34.2 points over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story-he's averaging just 19.4 points when the Cavs are on the road. Furthermore, he's hit the under in nine of his last ten away games, a trend that suggests he often struggles to maintain his scoring prowess outside of Cleveland.The Magic's defensive scheme, combined with Mitchell's recent average of 23.4 points against them away, indicates that he may face more challenges than anticipated. With an expected stat value of 24.93 and a hit rate showing 13 of his last 19 games falling below this threshold, betting the under feels like a strategic play here.
