Cavaliers Championship Odds Surge to +3000 After Landing Donovan Mitchell
In a major NBA trade, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz, sending Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three first-round picks, and two pick swaps in return.
Following this blockbuster move, the Cavaliers' NBA championship odds improved from (+4000) to (+3000). The team maintains its young core while adding Mitchell, positioning them as serious contenders in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers now feature an impressive young lineup:
- Donovan Mitchell (25)
- Jarrett Allen (24)
- Darius Garland (22)
- Isaac Okoro (21)
- Evan Mobley (21)
Key betting odds for the 2023-24 season:
- Playoffs odds: (-278)
- Season wins over/under: 46.5 (up from 44 wins last season)
The Jazz appear to be entering a rebuild phase, having traded both Mitchell and Rudy Gobert (to Minnesota) this offseason. The former teammates will face each other with their new teams on November 13.
The Cavaliers' accelerated rebuild has positioned them for sustained success in the Eastern Conference, with a strong foundation of young talent led by Mitchell's proven scoring ability.
