Game 3 Prop #1: Donovan Mitchell Over 33.5 points + rebounds + assists

Overall this postseason, Mitchell is putting up 31.8 PRA, a notable dip in production. Down the stretch against the Raptors in the first round, he failed to put up more than 31 PRA in any of the last five games of the series, and followed that up with a 29 PRA performance against Detroit in Game 1 of this series.
But Mitchell had a bit of a breakout on Thursday, putting up 31 points, six rebounds, and three assists in a losing effort.
Cleveland needs more of that if they want any chance of getting back into this series. The Cavaliers offense should get a boost today playing at home, and that means bigger numbers all around. I like Mitchell to have another strong outing in Game 3.
