There could be a lot of rebounds available to Reid versus the 76ers, who will once again miss Joel Embiid\u2019s presence at the rim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philadelphia, which has the lowest rebounding rate in the NBA, was eaten alive on the glass in last night\u2019s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"Embed: #110739\">Mitchell over 25.5 points (-118)<\/a><\/strong> The Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard is coming off a 41-point game and steps into a juicy matchup against the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago surrenders 120.4 points per game, trailing only the Washington Wizards for the most in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bulls allowed 144 points the last time they played the Cavaliers and Mitchell has dismantled Chicago in both meetings this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nov. 15<\/strong>: 37 points, 7 threes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nov. 13<\/strong>: 36 points, 7 threes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland&#8217;s leading scorer has topped this line in four of five contests since the NBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He saw reduced minutes in a 40-point win in the outlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitchell is cooking ahead of tonight&#8217;s showdown vs. the Bulls, who allow the fifth-most points to shooting guards (per Betting Pros).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 11:14 a.m. ET on 03\/04\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damian Lillard and Donovan Mitchell headline Tuesday night&#8217;s top NBA prop picks.
