Our NBA player props continued their winning streak last Friday with a 2-1 record. That brings us to 22-16 on the season as we look to build up the bankroll to help with any last-minute Christmas expenses. Today, we're going to focus on the 7:30 EST matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavs.

Donovan Mitchell OVER 26.5 Points
Mitchell let us down a few nights ago, but we feel pretty good about him having a big performance against the Lake Show at home. The former Louisville standout is averaging 28.4 points per game this season, which tells us there's a fair amount of value in the Over. Mitchell has also done well on his home court this season, as he's putting up 27.6 points per game in Cleveland.
Though the Lakers have been down for the last couple of years, star players still get up to play them because of their prestige and persona. Mitchell is no different. He poured in 33 points against the Lakers back on November 6th, and we think he'll do the same tonight. Mitchell is 15-7 to the Over versus this point total this year!
The matchup should also be pretty favorable for Mitchell tonight. The Lakers aren't a great defensive team, as they give up 115.1 points per game (21st). They also rank 29th in the league in fast break points allowed (17.2).
A quick scan of the overall sports betting market tells us that there's even more value in the Over. FanDuel, PointsBet, and BetRivers all price this prop at a full point higher than PrizePicks! DraftKings and Caesars both price it at 26.5, but with a fair amount of juice towards the Over.
Anthony Davis OVER 27.5 Points
AD has been playing like a man possessed of late. The former Kentucky Wildcat went off against the Wizards on Sunday night for 55 points! He also went for 44 last Friday against the Bucks!
Davis is listed as day-to-day with a back injury, but all the reports we've seen list him as probable to play tonight in Cleveland. He's averaging 35.3 points per game over his last 10 contests. He's also gone Over this point total in 6 of his last 9 games.
Even the season-long metrics point to an Over. Davis is averaging 28.6 points per game this season, which ranks 7th in the league. The Cavs have one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, but Davis's current form just can't be ignored in this spot.
A glance at the rest of the market also tells us that there's value in the Over. UniBet, FanDuel, and PointsBet all price this prop at a full point higher than PrizePicks. We trust that the man with the most famous unibrow will put up at least 28 points tonight in Cleveland.
Best of luck with all of your NBA action on this fine Tuesday! Let's stay hot!
