1.85Total over 221.5 points

Cleveland average 114 points per game at home, while Utah score 113 per game on away. But head-to-head matches between the teams are usually low-scoring. Mitchell should be able to score many points for the Cavaliers, Lauri Markkanen is also a strong offensive player, so we are expecting a high-scoring game.

Our second bet is on total over 221,5 points
