Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers, Over 4.5 assists (-112)
“His assists have dipped slightly so far this season going from 4.9 to 4.5 but today Darius Garland is expected back,” SportsLine senior data analyst Stephen Oh said. “It’s natural for players like Mitchell to look to get their backcourt mate back into an offensive rhythm especially vs a Philly team that is on a back-to-back and may be deflated after losing to Chicago after leading big the majority of the game. Even with a slightly lower assist average this season the over is still 4-2 and is 52-34, 60.5% since last season (27-15, 64.3% at home). The 76ers were a very different team last season but for what it’s worth, Mitchell was 3-0 over 4.5 with a 7 assist average. The Cavs were similarly favored between -9.5 and -11 in these 3 games and the Cavs are -9.5 favorites tonight.”

Cade Cunningham, Pistons, Over 5.5 rebounds (+116)
“The Jazz were +10.5 underdogs at Boston on 11/3 but won by 2 because they killed the Celtics by nearly 20 rebounds playing without Walker Kessler. Detroit beat Memphis to win their 3rd straight but were outrebounded by 6. I think the Pistons coaching staff are going to emphasize that as long as they are close on the boards, especially defensive rebounds, they should be able to win this game by a decent margin,” Oh said. “Since 2024, Cade Cunningham has been a better rebounder at home with a 6.4 average (29-13, 69% over 5.5) than on the road (6.0 avg, 23-18 over). His average is down slightly from last season (from 6.2 down to 5.6) and as a result we are getting a very good +$$$ value on this over.”

Cooper Flagg, Mavericks, Over 1.5 made 3-pointers (+136)
“The Pelicans allowed +3% higher 3pt shooting in their road games vs the home games last season and so far this season we’ve seen the same split. Cooper Flagg is off to a slow start shooting from 3pt range with just a 26.7% 3pt% at home, but on the road he’s been shooting 40%. He’s 4/11 from three the last two games (both on the road) and I think he’s in a good spot against a bad Pelicans team who will be happy just finally getting their first win last night,” Oh said. “Even with his low 3pt% at home he has made 2 threes in four of his 7 games. The Mavericks are only averaging 107 per game and their team total is around 118 tonight.”
