I could go complete game points on Donovan Mitchell and feel decently secure with a projected close spread but i like this more. Mitchell has been getting hot early and I expect that to continue tonight on ESPN.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Mitchell has hit this prop in seven of his last eight games including scoring 11 in the first quarter against this same Bucks team. Targeting scoring guards against Milwaukee has been a recipe for profit all year. With Jrue Holiday out of town they have been much more prone to allowing high scoring guards to go nuclear.

Mitchell has really taken a step forward with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley out and I expect him to continue to put the team on his back. He should play at least nine minutes and take plenty of shots. This could hit with three shots with how great of a three point sniper he is but I’m not counting out the possible he gets it done with four and goes high volume. The matchup is great and it has a hit rate of 87.5% in his last eight games. Let's roll!
