Best NBA Bets Today (Wednesday, May 13)

Donovan Mitchell Under 27.5 Points (-119) at Detroit Pistons

DraftKings Sportsbook, 3:49 PM ET

Kirien Sprecher: Mitchell is coming off an incredible second-half performance in a Game 4 win to even the series, but I think he's due for some regression following three straight 30-point games. The veteran has been much better at home than on the road during the postseason, shooting over 10% higher in Cleveland. Mitchell has scored more than 25 points on the road only once in five postseason road games, and the lone time he exceeded that mark came during a 107-97 Game 2 defeat in Detroit. That was the second-fewest points the Pistons have scored in 11 postseason games, so I don't think they'll want to replicate that offensive strategy in Game 5.

Evan Mobley over 7.5 rebounds (-143) at Detroit Pistons

BetRivers, 5:38 PM ET

Alex Barutha: Mobley is averaging 7.8 rebounds in the playoffs and 6.5 rebounds in this series. However, the number in this series is being dragged down by an outlier one-rebound performance in Game 2. In every other game against Detroit, he's grabbed at least eight rebounds. In the playoffs as a whole, he's grabbed at least eight rebounds in seven of his 11 outings.
