Cavaliers vs Pistons 3 Best NBA Player Props Today
1. Donovan Mitchell Under 24.5 Points (-114)
We’re putting this on our NBA expert picks only because we wanted an excuse to splice in this incredible Mitchell slam from Tuesday night. That said, we’re anticipating a relatively quiet night for the superstar.

— NBA (@NBA) February 5, 2025
Mitchell had 31 points vs the Celtics but averages 22.9 on 43.8% shooting when playing on no rest. He’s also been held in check by Detroit, averaging 20.0 PPG in the two meetings.
2. Jalen Duren Over 12.5 Points (-110)
Duren is on a run of 12 straight games in double digits, going over the 12.5-point mark in eight of them. He fell just shy (12 points) in a recent matchup with the Cavs, but we simply like the fact that he was active in that one with 11 shots. He and Cade Cunningham are building a nice little highlight reel.
Perfect pass. Perfect finish. 🫣

3. Max Strus Over 1.5 3-Pointers (-162)
Only three teams in the East give up more 3-pointers per game than the Pistons (13.9). Strus had a pair against them in last week’s meeting. He also made multiple 3’s in six straight before a goose egg against the Celtics.
