Mitchell and Mobley 4 Leg Home Opener Parlay Nets at Cavaliers, leg by leg

Four lines from Cleveland's scorer, its all-around forward and its best shooter. What each did last season and on opening night, what the ticket pays, and what beats each leg.

The short version

I built this around Cleveland at home. Donovan Mitchell at 27.9 points a game last season, asked for 20, then two lines from Evan Mobley: 10 points against his 18.2 and 2 assists against his 3.6. Sam Merrill adds one three against the 3.0 he made a game. Each line sits under the player's nightly average last season. At Kalshi's asks the four legs need 48.4% together and pay 2.06x, so $100 pays $206.45.

Donovan Mitchell 20+ points

Who: Cleveland's scorer, coming off 32 points in the opener.

The number: 27.9 points a game across 70 games and 33.5 minutes last season. 20+ sits at 77 to 78 cents, 77.5% in the middle.

The matchup: Brooklyn started Egor Demin and Keon Ellis in the backcourt on Wednesday, and Mitchell went 8 of 11 from the line at Philadelphia.

What beats it: A lopsided game that ends his night early in the third quarter, or Harden taking a bigger share of the shots.

Evan Mobley 10+ points

Who: Cleveland's starting forward and the hub of its defense.

The number: 18.2 points a game across 65 games and 31.9 minutes last season, and 18 at Philadelphia. 10+ sits at 85 to 87 cents, 86% in the middle.

The matchup: Brooklyn's frontcourt is Randle and Sharpe, with Sharpe a backup for most of last season at 18.7 minutes a night.

What beats it: Mitchell and Harden dominating the ball, or foul trouble guarding Randle.

Sam Merrill 1+ made threes

Who: Cleveland's shooter off the bench.

The number: 3.0 made threes a game across 52 games and 26.5 minutes last season, and 1 of 3 in 24 minutes at Philadelphia. 1+ sits at 81 to 86 cents, 83.5% in the middle.

The matchup: Brooklyn has to send help at Mitchell and Mobley, and Merrill is the player those rotations leave open.

What beats it: A cold night or fewer minutes if the score gets away; he came off the bench in the opener.

Evan Mobley 2+ assists

Who: Cleveland's most active passer among its bigs: 3.6 assists a game to Jarrett Allen's 1.8 last season.

The number: 3.6 assists a game across 65 games last season, and 2 at Philadelphia. 2+ sits at 80 to 83 cents, 81.5% in the middle.

The matchup: With Mitchell and Harden drawing Brooklyn's attention, Mobley often catches the ball with the defense already moving.

What beats it: Harden running every possession and Mobley finishing plays rather than making them.

Kalshi bid and ask read 2026-10-24 8:19 AM PT. The number beside each leg is Agent Dime’s own estimate, not a market price.

The price

Multiply the four asks and the ticket costs 48.4¢ for every dollar it pays: 2.06x, so $100 pays $206.45. The market’s own chances, the middle of each bid and ask, multiply to 45.4%. Agent Dime has all four landing at 40.3%.

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

  • Mitchell and Merrill. Mitchell's 20 points against his 27.9, and one three from Merrill against his 3.0 a game. All 2025-26 per-game lines from ESPN.
  • Mobley twice. His 10 points against an 18.2 average and his 2 assists against 3.6, from a player who started 63 of his 65 games last season.
  • The matchup. Cleveland is about 82% to win on Kalshi and swept last season's series 3-0. Brooklyn's first game showed two scorers and little else: the other three starters combined for 19 points.
  • Left off on purpose. Peyton Watson, listed day-to-day with a hamstring strain on one injury list. Brooklyn's bench, whose minutes swing the most when the score gets away.

Where it can break

All four legs have to land. The market's own chances multiply to 45.4%, under the 48.4% the asks need, which is the price of buying four lines at the ask instead of the middle.

Every leg is a Cleveland player, so a blowout that sends the rotation to the bench early hits all four at once.

Mobley carries two legs, so one quiet night from him costs the ticket twice over. I re-check both official reports before tip.
