Mitchell has hit this number in 6 of his last 8 games. He put up 32 points the last time he faced the Pistons, who are giving up the 29th most points in the NBA. Detroit also ranks in the bottom half in the league in defending against shooting guards. I will be discussing this pick and more on the Early Edge at 10am EST.

This is one of the largest spreads we've seen this season and is just a huge mismatch between two teams headed in opposite directions. As a result, it is unlikely that Donovan Mitchell plays a full compliment of minutes in this game. Mitchell has been held under this line 11 of 13 games this season when he logged fewer than 32 minutes. He averaged just 5.3 rebounds and assists over that 13 game sample as well. Will have more on this prop on today's edition of the Early Edge at 10 AM ET.

The Pistons are punting this game. They have already ruled out Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Jalen Duren (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (hip) and Alex Burks (foot). The Cavaliers have a clean injury report and are 3-0 ATS versus the Pistons this season. When these two teams met in Cleveland about a month ago, the Cavaliers won by 28 points despite Bogdanovic, Duren, Stewart and Burks all playing for the Pistons. Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland also didn’t play in that game. This has blowout written all over it.

Detroit (15-48) is in the midst of Tankville, sitting with the second worst record in the NBA. The team has lost six in a row. Meanwhile Cleveland is fighting for a top four seed in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs will be happy to see the Pistons after playing five straight games against playoff teams. Cleveland is a perfect 3-0 against Detroit this season, with the average margin of victory being 20.0 points a game. My model says the Cavs cover more than two-thirds of the time, so you're getting good value at this number.
