Mitchell and Alexander-Walker 7 Leg Peachtree Parlay Cavaliers at Hawks, leg by leg
Seven lines on four guards, with both teams on the second night of a back-to-back. What each has done in every game this season, what the ticket pays, and what beats each leg.
The short version
I built this around four guards who shoot and score: Donovan Mitchell's threes and points, Nickeil Alexander-Walker's threes and points, CJ McCollum's threes and points, and 10 from James Harden. Mitchell has made at least 2 threes in all four of his games and Alexander-Walker at least 2 in all five of his. McCollum is the thin part. At Kalshi's asks the seven legs need 48.8% together and pay 2.05x, so $100 pays $205.11.

| James Harden 10+ points | 87¢ / 90¢ | 89% |
| Donovan Mitchell 15+ points | 86¢ / 89¢ | 88% |
| CJ McCollum 10+ points | 82¢ / 86¢ | 84% |
Donovan Mitchell 1+ made threes
Who: Cleveland's starting shooting guard.
The number: 2, 2, 5 and 2 made threes so far, on 2 of 4, 2 of 6, 5 of 9 and 2 of 5, after 3.2 a game across 70 games last season. 1+ sits at 90 to 94 cents, 92% in the middle.
The matchup: He has played 31 to 38 minutes every night and has taken at least four threes in every game.
What beats it: He has not had a game under 2 yet. It takes a cold night on the back-to-back, or a short night in a blowout.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker 1+ made threes
Who: Atlanta's starting shooting guard.
The number: 5, 2, 4, 2 and 5 made threes so far, 3.6 a game, after 3.2 a game across 78 games last season. 1+ sits at 88 to 94 cents, 91% in the middle.
The matchup: He has taken at least seven threes in every game, and he went 5 of 9 against Miami on Wednesday.
What beats it: His two quiet nights were 2 of 7 each. A night like that, cut short by foul trouble, is what it takes.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker 10+ points
Who: Atlanta's starting shooting guard.
The number: 31, 14, 18, 12 and 23 points so far, 19.6 a game, after 20.8 a game across 78 games last season. 10+ sits at 88 to 90 cents, 89% in the middle.
The matchup: He has played 27 to 32 minutes every night. On Wednesday Jalen Johnson scored 12 and Alexander-Walker led Atlanta's starters with 23.
What beats it: His low is 12, at Houston on Monday on 2 of 7 from three. A cold night from deep with few free throws puts him close.
CJ McCollum 1+ made threes
Who: Atlanta's starting point guard.
The number: 4, 2, 1, 4 and 1 made threes so far, on 4 of 6, 2 of 7, 1 of 5, 4 of 7 and 1 of 2, 2.4 a game, after 2.5 a game across 76 games last season. 1+ sits at 83 to 89 cents, 86% in the middle.
The matchup: He took 5 to 7 threes in each of his first four games.
What beats it: This is one of the thin legs. He made exactly one in two of his five games, and on Wednesday he played 20 minutes and took two threes. Another short night leaves very little room.
James Harden 10+ points
Who: Cleveland's starting point guard.
The number: 16, 12, 19 and 16 points so far, 15.8 a game, after 23.6 a game across 70 games last season. 10+ sits at 87 to 90 cents, 88.5% in the middle.
The matchup: He has played 33 to 39 minutes every night and has 27 assists in four games, so the ball is in his hands.
What beats it: His scoring is well below last season. He had 12 against Brooklyn on 1 of 6 from three, and he went 2 of 10 from three on Wednesday. A night spent passing instead of shooting brings him close.
Donovan Mitchell 15+ points
Who: Cleveland's starting shooting guard.
The number: 32, 22, 26 and 19 points so far, 24.8 a game, after 27.9 a game across 70 games last season. 15+ sits at 86 to 89 cents, 87.5% in the middle.
The matchup: He has played at least 31 minutes every night and has not scored fewer than 19.
What beats it: His 19 on Wednesday came in 31 minutes, his fewest of the season. A blowout that sits him, or a night like that with a colder shot, gets close.
CJ McCollum 10+ points
Who: Atlanta's starting point guard.
The number: 19, 13, 17, 20 and 13 points so far, 16.4 a game, after 18.7 a game last season. 10+ sits at 82 to 86 cents, 84% in the middle.
The matchup: He has cleared 10 in every game, and on Wednesday he scored 13 in 20 minutes on 6 of 9 shooting.
What beats it: This is the thinnest leg on the ticket. Twice he finished at 13, and his minutes have ranged from 20 to 30. Fewer minutes on the second night of a back-to-back is the risk.
Kalshi bid and ask read 2026-10-29 9:31 AM PT. The number beside each leg is Agent Dime’s own estimate, not a market price.
The price
Multiply the seven asks and the ticket costs 48.8¢ for every dollar it pays: 2.05x, so $100 pays $205.11. The market’s own chances, the middle of each bid and ask, multiply to 41.7%. Agent Dime has all seven landing at 47.0%.
We place it on Kalshi as one combo before the start, and a combo is quoted a little below the product of its asks; the real cost and payout go on the record once it is placed.
How it was built
- Four guards, seven lines. Threes and points from Mitchell, Alexander-Walker and McCollum, and Harden's points. This season's box scores are from ESPN.
- Low lines on volume. Mitchell has made at least 2 threes in every game, and Alexander-Walker has taken at least seven threes in every game.
- Left off on purpose. Jalen Johnson, after 12 points and 11 assists against Miami on Wednesday, and Harden's passing.
Where it can break
All seven legs have to land. The market's own chances multiply to 41.7%, under the 48.8% the asks need, which is the price of buying seven lines at the ask instead of the middle.
Two players carry two legs each. A cold night from Mitchell or McCollum can sink two legs at once, and McCollum played only 20 minutes on Wednesday.
Both teams played at home Wednesday, so this is the second night of a back-to-back for each. Kalshi has Atlanta at 51 to 52 cents to win, so the market sees a close game. Jaylon Tyson and Meleek Thomas are questionable for Cleveland, and Mouhamed Gueye and Henri Veesaar are out for Atlanta. I re-check both official reports before tip.
The game itself
Cleveland visits Atlanta at 5 PM PT (8 PM ET) at State Farm Arena, on NBA TV. The Cavaliers are 3-1 after a 114-106 loss at Philadelphia, then home wins over Brooklyn, 125-121, Minnesota, 127-125 in overtime, and Washington, 121-111 on Wednesday, when Mitchell scored 19 and Harden had 16 points and 6 assists. The Hawks are 2-3 after winning 132-125 at Orlando and 128-81 at Charlotte, then losing to Houston twice, 121-114 at home and 120-110 on the road, and 129-117 at home to Miami on Wednesday, when Alexander-Walker scored 23. On Kalshi the Cavaliers to win cost 48 to 49 cents and the Hawks 51 to 52 cents, read at 1:21 PM PT.
