Analysis

Donovan Mitchell Assists Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (+120/-150).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 5.5 @ -130 before it was bet down to 5.5 @ -150.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Donovan Mitchell has averaged 5.5 assists per game over the last 15 games, 0.8 higher than he's averaged overall this year.
The 6th-quickest tempo offense in the NBA this year has been the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers check in as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

In contrast to last season's 35.8 mark, Donovan Mitchell's playing time has been reduced this season to 31.0 minutes per game.
The Cavaliers are expected to suffer a reduction in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the 2nd-most lethargic pace team in the league over the last 25 games (the Boston Celtics).
Donovan Mitchell will not have the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing on the road generally worsens player performance in all facets of the game.
