The former Louisville star is also shooting 48.1% from the field and 43.8% from the three-point range.

In addition, the Cavs are 6-1 in their first seven games of the season and in the middle of a six-game winning streak.

After losing their first game of the season to the Toronto Raptors in Canada, they have not lost since.

Mitchell was acquired by the Cavs in a blockbuster trade over the offseason with the Utah Jazz.

He had spent all five seasons of his NBA career with the Jazz and led them to the NBA Playoffs every single season.

Meanwhile, the Cavs have not been to the NBA Playoffs in four seasons (since 2018, when they still had LeBron James).

Based on the way things are currently going, they will easily end the drought this season.

As for the Pistons, they come into the game with a 2-7 record in their first nine games of the season.
