Donovan Mitchell M/L Than 3.5 3-Pointers Made
Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers are looking to bounce back after dropping Game 1 at home to the Pacers.
For Cleveland to even the series, Mitchell will need to lead the charge once again—but even his 33-point effort in Game 1 wasn’t enough.
A big part of that performance came inside the arc, as Mitchell went just 1-for-11 from deep.
His three-point prop is set at 3.5 for tonight, and I’m betting the under. Asking a player to hit four threes is a tall order, especially when they’ve shown they can do major damage without relying on the perimeter.
Stokastic’s NBA DFS Projections have Mitchell making just three threes tonight—and that aligns nicely with this under bet.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Donovan Mitchell Under 3.5 3-Pointers Made
Jimmy Butler M/L Than 22.5 Points
Game one between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors takes place tonight in the Land of 10,000 lakes.
The T’Wolves come in well rested after dispatching the Lakers in five games, while the Warriors may be feeling the effects of a hard-fought seven-game series against the Rockets.
Jimmy Butler has been efficient since joining Golden State, but his points prop for tonight feels a bit too optimistic. His scoring tends to fluctuate, and given that he’s dealing with some lingering soreness, this could be a tough spot.
Minnesota brings a strong defensive presence, and Stokastic’s NBA DFS Projections have Butler finishing with just 21 points. It’s a good opportunity to fade his scoring to open the series.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Jimmy Butler Less Than 22.5 Points
