Donovan Mitchell posted an impressive all-around performance in the Cavaliers’ dominant win over the Wizards, contributing 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, four steals, a block, and four three-pointers despite a challenging shooting night. His efficiency from beyond the arc and defensive prowess stood out, and his limited minutes bode well for the upcoming game against the Bulls. Should Darius Garland remain sidelined, Mitchell is expected to assume the point guard duties once again.

Donovan Mitchell made a strong return from a hamstring issue, scoring 37 points with eight three-pointers in the win over the Hawks. Despite concerns about his recent injury, Mitchell showed no signs of discomfort, playing 36 minutes and maintaining top-tier efficiency. Lonzo Ball, who filled in for Mitchell previously, recorded eight points, six rebounds, and three assists. Mitchell’s performance continues to affirm his high fantasy value as long as he remains healthy.

Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Hawks, Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson confirmed that Donovan Mitchell will attempt to play despite a lingering hamstring issue. Mitchell, who sat out Friday’s game against the Raptors after playing through the injury against the Celtics, is not expected to carry a full starter’s workload. Lonzo Ball, who logged 26 minutes in Mitchell’s absence, should still see significant playing time.

Donovan Mitchell will miss Friday’s game against the Raptors due to a hamstring issue. He received treatment earlier and skipped pregame shootaround, leading to his official sidelining. With Mitchell out, Craig Porter Jr. is likely to start, though the Cavaliers are also considering Lonzo Ball, whose minutes are still being monitored. Both players are potential streaming options for fantasy managers looking to fill the gap.

In Sunday’s game against the Bucks, Donovan Mitchell recorded 24 points, contributing to the Cavaliers’ victory. Despite a decrease from his previous scoring output, Mitchell maintained a strong presence with impressive all-around stats. With Darius Garland sidelined, Mitchell continues to carry a heavier offensive load, enhancing his fantasy appeal. The Cavaliers face a busy schedule in Week 2, with four games, starting with a matchup against the Pistons on Monday.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup for the season opener against the New York Knicks features Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. With Darius Garland sidelined due to a toe injury, Jaylon Tyson steps in as a starter. This configuration is likely to see Mitchell taking on a larger role in the absence of Garland, potentially increasing his usage during the game.

Donovan Mitchell contributed 17 points, with solid efficiency, in the Cavaliers’ 118-100 win over the Pistons, capitalizing early with 13 points in the first quarter. Despite five turnovers, his ability to impact various facets of the game was evident. As preseason continues, fantasy managers should monitor his consistency, but his potential makes him a strong second-round draft choice.
