1.88Tip and bets
Bookmaker experts consider Cleveland to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Detroit won't have many chances to succeed. That's the way it is. The Pistons are showing excellent results this season and may even qualify directly for the playoffs for the first time in a long time. But the championship leader will definitely be too tough for them. Atkinson's players will have to achieve a convincing victory.
Our forecast is a victory for Cleveland with a handicap of (-4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.83
Betting on an individual total
Cleveland is showing excellent performance this season. The average score for the last ten games is 125. In matches with Detroit — 109. And this time, it's looking like Atkinson's team will be able to improve their stats.
Our forecast is that Cleveland's individual total is more than 122.5 points, including overtime in 2.08
The bet on the player
Mitchell played 55 games last regular season and averaged 26.6 points per game. This season, his score is still slightly lower — 23.8. The 28-year-old defender has definitely not lost his basic skills. An American basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble to the opponent's defense.
Our forecast is that Mitchell's total points are over 24.5, including overtime in 1.87
