Analysis

Donovan Mitchell Points Prop is currently Over/Under 25.5 (-110/+105).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 26.5 @ -130 before it was bet down to 25.5 @ +105.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games as the visting team (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).
The matchup against the Pistons may be a strong one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting SGs have attempted a colossal 4.8 free throws per game over the last 10 games (2nd-most in the league).

Favors Under

In regard to shots from downtown, the Cleveland Cavaliers's lackluster 30.1% rate of drained threes away from home rates 3rd-weakest in the NBA over the last 5 games.
The matchup vs. the Detroit Pistons is a difficult one for three-point shots; the other team's starting SGs have shot for the 2nd-lowest three rate in the league this year (27.6%).
The most sluggish pace visiting offense in the league over the last 5 games has been the Cavaliers.
The Pistons have played at the most lethargic tempo in the league over the last 5 games on their home court, which should lead to fewer plays for the Cavaliers.
