Betting Celtics-Cavaliers: Three props that stand out
Briefly

The upcoming NBA matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics features two top-tier teams. The Cavaliers, with a six-game road winning streak, face the Celtics, who recently had their six-game win streak halted. Star player Donovan Mitchell has shown remarkable scoring against the Celtics this season, averaging 33.7 PPG in their previous encounters. Betting experts suggest looking at Mitchell's over 31.5 points and rebounds, as he tends to elevate his play in high-stakes games, despite past inconsistencies in his scoring hit rate.
Mitchell has had big scoring efforts in all three games against the Celtics this season, averaging 33.7 PPG with at least 31 points scored in each contest.
The Cavaliers are the top seed in the East, but the defending NBA champion Celtics are still the measuring stick team in the league.
With the Celtics having won two of the first three matchups against the Cavs this season, I look for Mitchell to be locked in again.
If you're just looking at Mitchell's hit rate this season, you might think he's been inconsistent. Context matters.
