Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hand) has been cleared to play during Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He left Saturday's game due to a left hand issue, but didn't have any problems during his pregame routine on Monday. That being said, Mitchell will play and should play his normal amount of minutes. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups to make sure Mitchell is in there. Caris LeVert will remain on the bench, so he won't have increased value.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (finger) is questionable to play Monday versus the Boston Celtics. Mitchell left Saturday's game with the injury after playing just 24 minutes and finishing with 20 points, four assists and two steals. If Mitchell is unable to go, Caris LeVert will likely move into the starting lineup. LeVert is averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game as a starter this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell hurt his groin again in Wednesday's 117-113 loss to Boston. Mitchell was injured in the third quarter but was able to finish the game, putting up an impressive 44 points in 44 minutes. However, it's now unclear if he will be able to stay in the lineup for the upcoming games. Darius Garland would get a nice usage boost if Mitchell lands on the shelf, while Caris LeVert will have a chance to enter the starting unit. He has averaged 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists as a starter this season.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell dropped eight threes en route to a 118-93 win over the Toronto Raptors while leading all scorers. The superstar combo guard registered 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block while shooting 13-for-21 from the floor and 8-for-12 from deep. Mitchell was virtually unstoppable while the Raptors went 15 players deep in an attempt to curb his and the Cavaliers' momentum. They now get a couple of days rest before taking on the East-leading Boston Celtics.

He added five assists, grabbed four rebounds and recorded one steal and one block in 37 minutes on the court. Mitchell was in a bit of a slump recently, but with him having gone for 33.3 points in the past three games, it's safe to say he is feeling like himself again.

Mitchell, who erupted for 71 points in his previous meeting with the Bulls, shot 10-for-18 from the field with a 3-for-7 record from deep and made all six of his free throws, adding six assists, one steal and two blocks. Mitchell has been very streaky lately, but this was almost a second consecutive 30-point performance for him, so it looks like he's regained his scoring touch.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are both off of the injury report and are expected to suit up on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. They both sat out on Wednesday leaving the team very thin in the backcourt, but they'll get their star power back in time for a matchup against a Pelicans team still fighting to get a playoff berth. Mitchell has cooled off lately from his incredibly hot start in Cleveland while Garland is starting to get more comfortable and turn up the scoring contributions.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Darius Garland (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) have been downgraded to out Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. Garland and Mitchell were originally slated to play before being downgraded to questionable and then ruled out before game-time. Raul Neto and Caris LeVert are expected to join the starting lineup and would be cheap DFS options. Garland and Mitchell are being listed with soreness so this should not force them to miss extended time.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) could be forced to sit out Wednesday's game against Detroit, with the team regarding him as questionable for the contest. He is bothered by left groin soreness and having some time off might actually benefit Mitchell, as he has averaged only 14.6 points across his past five appearances. Caris LeVert will become a very appealing option for fantasy managers if Mitchell can't play, especially in a situation where Darius Garland (thumb) is also in danger of missing the contest. Cleveland's injury problems could also give Isaac Okoro extra opportunities to keep up recent improved production.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has been ejected from Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

It's uncertain if it was intentional, but regardless it led to the two of them getting into a brawl. Both players were ejected from the contest. It's unclear if either of these players will face suspensions. Cedi Osman and Ricky Rubio stand to gain the most value if Mitchell is forced to miss some action.

Mitchell was questionable heading into Sunday with a groin strain, but appears to have progressed enough to play. Mitchell missed the last two games with the groin strain after reinjuring it.

The 26-year-old has missed five of the last six games because of a strained left groin, allowing Caris LeVert to enter the starting lineup. The former Net struggled against OKC on Friday night. However, LeVert has averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 25 starts this season, so he'll remain a must-start if Mitchell is sidelined again.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard was held out of Thursday's game due to a strained left groin. It seems like the Cavs aren't going to rush Mitchell back to the court, so he'll likely miss this game as well. That means, Caris LeVert should remain in the starting five on Friday. He's a solid streaming option while he's playing with the starting unit.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He made his return to the court on Tuesday, but sat out of practice on Wednesday. That being said, it appears Mitchell is still battling a groin issue.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is listed as questionable to play Thursday against the Houston Rockets. Mitchell returned Tuesday after a three-game absence due to a groin strain and was able to play 38 minutes in the close loss.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. This is great news after seeing Mitchell get through the last two practices without any issues. He appears ready to get back on the court after missing the last three games due to a groin issue. His return will mean Caris LeVert will head back to the bench and have less fantasy value going forward. Although, LeVert should still be worth holding because of his upside as the sixth-man.
