Why — matchup factors
Donovan Mitchell draws Orlando Magic's switch-heavy scheme — switches 1–4 (or 1–5) to erase actions and keep bodies in front.
Primary assignment projects to Jalen Suggs (strong defender, 84 Perimeter D), Jonathan Isaac secondary, with Wendell Carter Jr. as the low-man/help.
He's cold — 22.4 pts a night over his last 5 (-5.3 vs season). Model lines Mitchell at 27.2 pts (range 23–31.4) vs a 27.5 line — roughly a coin flip to clear it (48%).
Biggest edge: opponent defense — soft unit — points come easier.
Model favors Orlando Magic (63%), projected 117–120, ~236 total at 99.4 pace.
