Fri Mar 2022:36Donovan Mitchell Questionable as Cavaliers Visit New Orleans
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing Thursday's win over Chicago, which could again push more offensive work toward the supporting cast if he remains out. Jaylon Tyson (toe), who is also questionable, drew the start last game and delivered 18 points, two three-pointers, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 23 minutes, putting him on the radar as a streaming option if he plays. Evan Mobley and James Harden should continue seeing increased usage if Mitchell sits. Mitchell remains a must-start if cleared.

Thu Mar 1919:40Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out, Jaylon Tyson to Start Thursday

Keon Ellis could also see more run after logging eight points and two threes in 24 minutes, while Dennis Schroder may pick up extra playmaking minutes.

Thu Mar 1917:06Donovan Mitchell Downgraded to Questionable
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) was added to the team's injury report for Thursday against the Bulls as questionable due to a left eye contusion. Late additions to the injury report often lead to absences, and if Mitchell is unable to play this game in Chicago, it will be a great spot for Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, and Max Strus next to James Harden. Evan Mobley could also get even more work in a great matchup, so check back on Spida's status to see if the rest of the Cavs get an upgrade from Mitchell missing.

Sun Mar 812:35Donovan Mitchell is Returning on Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is back in action ahead of Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mitchell is cleared to return after missing the last four games due to a lingering groin injury. There is no word on a minutes limit, so fantasy managers should expect Mitchell to be a full-go for this one. His return to the starting five will mean reduced roles for Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson. Mitchell has been an elite fantasy contributor, so fantasy managers better get him active in their lineups ahead of Sunday's early tip-off.

Sat Mar 719:18Donovan Mitchell Expected to Return Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is listed as probable for Sunday's clash against the Boston Celtics. This suggests Mitchell is ready to return from a right groin strain, which has kept him sidelined for four games. Mitchell logged a full practice on Friday. His return to action will likely end Sam Merrill's time in the first unit. However, since Sunday's game is part of a back-to-back set, Merrill might get another start if Cleveland decides not to overwork Mitchell after his injury and rests him on Monday against Philadelphia.

His next chance to return will come Sunday against Boston. James Harden is expected to shoulder more of the offensive load, making him the primary fantasy beneficiary. Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should see steady minutes, but both remain fringe streaming options. Merrill logged 15 points with four triples in 27 minutes last game, while Tyson added nine points in 28 minutes.

Sun Mar 107:21Donovan Mitchell to Miss Third Straight Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn, marking his third straight absence. The team does not anticipate a long-term issue, though he remains day-to-day heading into Tuesday. If James Harden (thumb) is unable to play, Cleveland would have even more offensive workload and minutes to spread around the rotation. Jaylon Tyson started the last game and logged 41 minutes, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and four three-pointers. Sam Merrill added 20 points in 36 minutes, while Craig Porter Jr. recorded 12 assists in 32 minutes. Tyson profiles as the top short-term add, and Merrill remains a viable scoring streamer.

Wed Feb 2517:40Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is unavailable for Wednesday's clash with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Cleveland's backcourt could also be without James Harden (thumb), who is listed as questionable. If Harden is unable to suit up, Dennis Schroder, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson would likely take on expanded roles during Wednesday's contest.

Thu Jan 808:32Donovan Mitchell Available Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) is not on the injury report for Thursday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The six-time All-Star was rested on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Dean Wade (knee) started in his place but left early. Mitchell has scored 30-plus points in three straight games, shooting 54 percent. It will be challenging for him to keep the run going on Thursday night, as Cleveland faces the NBA's sixth-best defense. Darius Garland and Sam Merrill, who combined for 48 points on Tuesday, will have fewer scoring opportunities with Mitchell back.

Tue Jan 608:12Donovan Mitchell Resting Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. After seeing him string together a run of three consecutive 30-point games, the Cavaliers have decided to rest Mitchell against the Eastern Conference bottom feeders. Mitchell's absence will put the ball more in Darius Garland's hands, while Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, and De'Andre Hunter may all be more involved in the action as well. Vegas has set the total at 236.5 points for this game, and a high-scoring contest could result in many outstanding fantasy performances.

Mon Dec 22 202518:19Donovan Mitchell Cleared for Monday's Action
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will return from a one-game absence on Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets. The Cleveland star missed Friday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but he was expected to return on Monday night after the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. Mitchell returns in a good spot, as Charlotte is among the NBA's worst defensive teams, ranked 24th in defensive efficiency. He could also have some additional motivation to perform well on Monday after producing a 17-point dud on 25 percent shooting in his previous clash against the Hornets. Mitchell's return will push Tyrese Proctor back to the second unit.

Sun Dec 21 202520:36Donovan Mitchell Likely to Return on Monday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) is probable heading into Monday's matchup with Charlotte. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Tyrese Proctor ended up taking his place in the rotation, finishing with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal. If Mitchell suffers a setback, Proctor would presumably remain in the starting lineup, although that could change if Sam Merrill (hand), who is also probable, can return after missing the last 14 games. Darius Garland, coming off a 35-point effort, should also continue to see an uptick in scoring opportunities if Mitchell can't get back on the floor, even more so since the Hornets are one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association.

Fri Dec 19 202518:18Donovan Mitchell Unavailable Friday Due to Illness
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't suit up on Friday against the Chicago Bulls, The Athletic's Joel Lorenzi reports. An illness will force the Cavaliers' superstar to miss his third game of the season. With Mitchell out, Darius Garland will have the ball more in his hands, while there will be additional scoring opportunities for the rest of the starting group. Friday's matchup is particularly tasty for Cleveland's frontcourt, as Chicago allows the second-most fantasy points to power forwards and the third-most to centers.

Wed May 14 202509:57Donovan Mitchell Scores Game-High 35 Points In Tuesday's Loss
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell put up a game-high 35 points as the team's campaign ended with a 114-105 home loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. Mitchell led the Cavaliers offense but struggled massively to hit shots, finishing 8-for-25 from the field, including 4-for-13 from behind the arc. He was 15-for-21 at the charity stripe, failing to hit a single shot late in the game after he was fouled during a three-point attempt. The six-time All-Star, who played through a left ankle injury, completed his work with nine rebounds, one assist, four steals, and one block. After dominating for most of the year, the Cavaliers seemed poised for something special. Instead, they became the fourth team in NBA history to win at least 64 games in the regular season and fail to advance past the second round. The team has won only two playoff series in three years since Mitchell's arrival, and another postseason filled with trade speculation may follow.

Mon May 12 202518:16Donovan Mitchell Listed As Questionable For Game 5
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers. He is expected to be a game-time decision after an MRI showed that Mitchell aggravated a previous left ankle injury, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The Cavaliers have had terrible luck with injuries this postseason, and losing Mitchell for Tuesday's elimination game would be the biggest blow of them all. Before settling for 12 points in limited minutes against Indiana on Sunday, Mitchell had averaged 41.3 points per game in the series. If Mitchell can't play through his ankle injury on Tuesday, we will see much more of Ty Jerome, while the entire team must collectively compensate for his absence on the offensive end.
