Donovan Mitchell Over 4.5 assists (+100)

Projection: 5.4 assists

Donovan Mitchell had just six assists in Games 3 and 4 in Toronto, but logged nine across the first two games at home and went over this number in Game 2. His projection calls for 5.4 tonight, and the +100 price makes it that much easier to hit the button.

Donovan Mitchell Under 27.5 points (-105)

Projection: 25.8 points

This is a big number for a guy who scored just 35 across two games in Toronto and lost his offensive rhythm entirely. Even if he's much better in Game 5, this projection gives us a ton of room to cash the Under.
