Their lone win in the last nine came against Charlotte, but defensive lapses immediately resurfaced in a home loss to New Orleans. Coby White continues to lead the scoring, while Josh Giddey has been productive, yet Chicago&rsquo;s bottom&#8209;ten ratings on both ends explain the slide.<\/p><p>Cleveland isn&rsquo;t faring much better, sitting 15&#8209;12 after a shocking overtime collapse against the Hornets. Donovan Mitchell remains their star, but with Garland inconsistent and Mobley sidelined, the Cavaliers are searching for answers too.<\/p><p><strong>Game Details<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Date &amp; Time:<\/strong> Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong> United Center, Chicago, Illinois<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TV Broadcast:<\/strong> FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, NBA League Pass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Live Streaming:<\/strong> FanDuel Sports App<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Bet and Updated Odds<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Recommended Bet<\/th><th>FanDuel<\/th><th>BetMGM<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Donovan Mitchell 30+ Points<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"-130 (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-130<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"-155 (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-155<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis and Rationale<\/h2><p>Donovan Mitchell&rsquo;s 30+ points prop lines up well with the source info you shared. Despite Cleveland&rsquo;s recent slump, Mitchell has been the one consistent bright spot, averaging 30.7 points per game this season. Even in the loss to Charlotte, he still attempted 24 shots, showing how heavily the Cavaliers lean on him offensively. His usage rate remains extremely high, especially with Evan Mobley sidelined and Garland struggling with efficiency.<\/p><p>At -130 on FanDuel vs. -155 on BetMGM, FanDuel offers better value. Given his scoring average and volume, Mitchell clearing 30 points is a realistic outcome, though Cleveland&rsquo;s overall inconsistency adds some risk.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Donovan Mitchell on the loss vs Hornets:<br><br>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not allowed to have a bad night.
