The ESPN TV channel supercomputer — Basketball Power Index (BPI) — put Kenny Atkinson team in the top five favorites of the championship. The Cavaliers will have to achieve a convincing victory with the noisy support of their fans.

Bet on total
Head-to-head matches between Cleveland and Detroit are usually not very productive. In the last ten games, the average score was 211 points. There are no prerequisites for the teams to pay more attention to the attack this time. The match should not be particularly productive.
Our prediction is under 220.5 points including overtime at 2.40
Bet on the player
Mitchell played 55 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 26.4 points per game (second in the league). The 28-year-old guard has shown with his game that he is capable of maintaining a decent level of scoring. The American basketball player will have to demonstrate his sniper qualities this time too.
Our prediction is Mitchell total points over 27.5 including overtime at 1.87
