The current betting odds have the Cavaliers listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cavaliers have been very good to start the season ever since acquiring Donovan Mitchell via trade. They haven't been great in their last few games while on their road trip through California but they should be ready to bounce back here at home and snap their 3 game losing streak as they are still undefeated at home this year. The T-Wolves have not been very good this season at all. They also made a big trade for Rudy Gobert and now he will be playing against Mitchell for the 1st time after so many years on the Jazz together, and they didn't really get along while they were there either. So far, Mitchell has done a lot to improve this Cavaliers in their first few games of the season while Gobert has introduced new problems on the floor for this Timberwolves team, problems they didn't have last season with Vanderbilt in his position. The Cavaliers are playing much better this season and Mitchell will be out to prove a point in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game.
