Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 33.5 Points + Assists (-128)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers head into Orlando, all eyes will be on Donovan Mitchell, but betting on him to go over 33.5 combined points and assists might not be the best play. Sure, Mitchell has been a force lately, averaging 34.2 points and 3.8 assists over his last five games. However, his performance on the road tells a different story. He's averaging just 19.4 points and 2.8 assists in away games, a stark contrast to his impressive home numbers. Against the Magic, he's been even less prolific, with an average of 23.4 points and 7 assists when playing in Orlando. With a hit rate of just 9 out of 10 in away games recently, it's clear he's struggled to maintain his scoring in hostile environments. Given these trends, targeting the under on Mitchell seems like a savvy move.

Keon Ellis (Sacramento Kings) Over 5.5 Points (-130)

As we gear up for the Orlando Magic's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Keon Ellis stands out as a prime candidate for a points prop bet. Sure, his recent average of 5.4 points per game might raise an eyebrow, but let's dig deeper. In his last five home games, he's ramped it up to 7.6 points, and his history against the Cavaliers is even more compelling-averaging 10.3 points in their last five meetings. When you consider Ellis's impressive hit rate of 75% over his last 20 games, it's clear he's been consistently finding ways to score. The Cavaliers have struggled to contain scoring guards, allowing an average of 9.5 points in similar matchups. With the expected stat value nudging up to 8.46, betting on Ellis to exceed 5.5 points feels like a savvy play. Watch for him to step up and make an impact on the scoreboard.
