Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) is currently listed as questionable for the team's upcoming game against the Orlando Magic tomorrow. Despite playing 14 minutes and scoring 16 points in the All-Star Game, the 27-year-old might sit out Cleveland's first game after the break due to illness. Should Mitchell be unable to play, Caris LeVert is expected to see a significant increase in minutes, while Darius Garland is likely to experience a notable uptick in usage. Mitchell has been averaging 28.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in 35.5 minutes per game this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) popped up on the injury report as probable for their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar shooting guard hasn't missed a game since December 27 and it would be surprising if he was downgraded from a probable status. Mitchell has taken on a big chunk of the offensive responsibilities with Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee) out for extended periods. He should be in fantasy lineups regardless of the league format as long as he's healthy. If he does get downgraded, Max Strus and Caris LeVert would get big-time bumps in opportunities and would both be very good streaming options.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell put on a show for the fans in Paris as he put up a season-high in the 111-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in the Thursday afternoon matinee. He was able to score 45 points on 15-for-30 shooting and 11-for-13 from the charity stripe. He even added 12 rebounds, six assists, and four steals despite the seven turnovers. For an undersized guard who averages 4.3 rebounds per game for his career, a 12-rebound game was a pleasant surprise for anyone who had him in their fantasy lineup. Mitchell's value is at its peak right now as he operates the offense without Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee).

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) hasn't played since December 18 due to a non-COVID illness and he's officially listed as questionable for their game on Friday. The star guard has now seen two small stretches of missed games due to either injury or illness, but luckily the team has gone 3-1 with him out. They could use another scorer since Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee) are both out for at least a month. When Mitchell returns, he'll have even more fantasy appeal as the surefire number-one option. If he can't suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks, however, Craig Porter Jr. will remain in the starting lineup while Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro see added minutes.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The superstar guard continues to miss time due to a lingering illness. His absence should keep rookie Craig Porter Jr. in the starting five for Wednesday's game. Caris LeVert (knee) has been cleared to play, so he figures to have a bigger role on offense with Mitchell sidelined. Both Porter and LeVert should be fine streaming options until Mitchell returns.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will miss the second night of a back-to-back set for Thursday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans as he continues to deal with an illness. Mitchell should be considered day-to-day, with his next chance to suit up for Cleveland coming on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The two-way superstar leaves behind 27.7 points, 5.5 assists, 3.1 three-pointers, and 1.8 steals per game in his absence. Undrafted first-year player Craig Porter Jr. collected six points, seven boards, six dimes, and three blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's starting appearance against the Utah Jazz. The Cavaliers will lean on Caris LeVert as well, after the point forward provided 23 points, seven rebounds, and four treys with the second unit on Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) is out on Wednesday versus the Utah Jazz. Mitchell was not present at morning shootaround with an illness, which spelled the writing on the wall for his absence in this revenge game against Utah. The Cavs will miss their two-way sensation, as Mitchell is gathering 27.7 points, 5.5 assists, 3.1 threes, and 1.8 steals per game. Cleveland has a short turnaround with a game on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Undrafted rookie Craig Porter Jr. will draw Wednesday's start and is very much in play as a salary-relief DFS option, averaging 15.3 points, 5.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 25.8 minutes over his last four games without Mitchell. Caris LeVert deserves plenty of attention as well, averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.4 threes in 32.6 minutes over 15 games sans Mitchell since 2022-23.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) was not present at morning shootaround and is officially listed as questionable on Wednesday versus the Utah Jazz. Mitchell has come down with an illness, suddenly threatening his availability for a "revenge-game" tilt against the team that traded him away two offseasons ago. The dynamic superstar is racking up a sensational 27.7 points, 5.5 assists, 3.1 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 88.7% shooting from the charity stripe on 6.0 free-throw attempts per game in 2023-24. Caris LeVert would be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Mitchell's absence if he needs to miss his sixth game of the year on Wednesday, averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.4 threes in 32.6 minutes over 15 games without Mitchell since 2022-23. Craig Porter Jr. would also be on the DFS radar as a budget play in this case.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Lakers. He's missed the previous four games because of a hamstring strain, so the team isn't taking any chances with the superstar. That said, Darius Garland, averaging 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds without Mitchell this season, would remain a must-start in all fantasy setups. At the same time, Craig Porter Jr., who received his first career start on Wednesday and logged 16 points with five assists, two blocks, and a steal, should continue to draw interest as a streaming option if Mitchell doesn't play.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is officially considered questionable for the team's Saturday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar combo guard hasn't played since November 15 as he's been dealing with a right hamstring strain. If he's able to play, that would deliver a hit to the fantasy value of Craig Porter Jr. and Sam Merrill. With that being said, if Mitchell has to remain sideline for one more game, Porter has produced some great fantasy lines in Mitchell's absence.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat, while guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable. Mitchell will remain out for the fourth game in a row due to a right hamstring strain. On a four-game winning streak, Cleveland continues a five-game homestand with the first leg of a back-to-back set on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers, marking Mitchell's next chance to return. The 27-year-old four-time All-Star has put up magnificent numbers in 2023-24, averaging 29.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 threes, and 2.0 swipes. With LeVert still up in the air due to left knee injury management that's taken him out of action for consecutive contests, Darius Garland is going to be busy either way. Perhaps we'll get another look at undrafted rookie Craig Porter Jr., who has emerged from obscurity for 15.0 points, 6.0 dimes, 1.0 steals per game over his last three nights.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) has already been ruled out for his third consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. The star guard leaves a big hole in the starting five and the offense, plus it makes the game against the Philadelphia 76ers a little more worrisome since Caris LeVert (knee) is also marked as questionable. With Mitchell out, Darius Garland should see some more usage while Dean Wade remains in the starting lineup. Georges Niang and Craig Porter Jr. will also see increased opportunities.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is out on Sunday against Denver. The 27-year-old is battling a hamstring issue, keeping off the floor for Friday's in-season tournament meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Of course, Darius Garland took on most of the scoring duties in that one, finishing with a game-high 28 points. However, Max Strus scored 18 points in 39 minutes, so he should remain under consideration by fantasy managers needing a streaming option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Cavs could be shorthanded in this game with fellow guard Darius Garland (neck) also listed as questionable to play. On Wednesday, Garland sat out, which lead to Mitchell dropping a game-high 34 points. The absence of Mitchell and Garland would mean Caris LeVert would likely be asked to take on a heavy role in the rotation. He'd be a popular streaming option if the Cavs are missing both Mitchell and Garland. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another injury update.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is active for Tuesday's game versus the New York Knicks. Mitchell participated in morning shootaround, setting him up to be available in Tuesday's meeting and return from a one-game respite due to right hamstring soreness. The 27-year-old fantasy stalwart is set to reclaim his position in head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's starting lineup, perhaps reverting Dean Wade back to the bench. Mitchell should carry the offensive load as a popular DFS bet with Darius Garland (hamstring) and Caris LeVert (hamstring) nursing hamstring injuries of their own, but it's worth mentioning that Tuesday's matchup shows the lowest implied point total (214.5) of the three-game slate. Mitchell, who is averaging 35.5 points, 4.0 three-pointers, and 3.5 steals in 39.5 minutes across his two games this year, should obviously be locked into season-long fantasy lineups.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell may miss Tuesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old was absent from Saturday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers because of a hamstring issue. Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) weren't available either, opening the door for Max Strus and Caris LeVert to combine for 51 points. Garland and Allen have already been ruled out for Tuesday night, so if Mitchell joins them on the shelf, LeVert and Strus are worth starting in deep fantasy formats. Of course, Evan Mobley, coming off a 33-point, 14-rebound, and three-block outing versus Indiana, will remain a must-start while earning extra attention from DFS managers.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) may miss Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Mitchell scored 43 points in Friday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder but is now questionable because of hamstring soreness. With Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) out, Caris LeVert and Evan Mobley could emerge as must-start options for DFS managers while carrying the same label for season-long formats. There's also a chance guys like Max Strus, Dean Wade, and Georges Niang all see a significant uptick in production, although all three are risky fantasy options.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell was on fire in Friday's matchup against the Thunder, racking up 43 points on 15-for-27 shooting in a 108-105 loss. He had a 4-for-11 record from downtown and kept himself busy all over the court, bagging eight rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks. With Darius Garland (hamstring) sitting out the contest, Mitchell carried a massive load and logged 42 minutes. The Cavaliers are back on the court Saturday versus Indiana, so it will be interesting to see how the team handles Mitchell's minutes. They won't want to overwork him, although it's only the start of the season, and the four-time All-Star should have plenty of juice left.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell finished with a game-high 28 points in Friday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. He added four assists and two steals. The 27-year-old looked good in the preseason finale, going 11-for-21 from the field and 3-for-7 from deep while accounting for 19 of Cleveland's 29 points in the third quarter. Of course, performances like this have been routine for Mitchell through the years, who averaged a career-high 28.3 points last season. However, he hasn't played more than 69 games in any of the previous four seasons, so fantasy managers will likely be without him at times during the 2023-24 campaign. Still, Mitchell is at least a top-20 fantasy option, with the potential to enter the MVP conversation at some point moving forward. He's a must-start in all formats when the Cavs begin the year on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are getting the night off on Monday night during their preseason contest against Maccabi Ra'Anana. The All-Star backcourt will get a rest night as the team tries to figure out who will play their primary backups. In their place, Ty Jerome and Isaac Okoro will get the start. Both Mitchell and Garland will likely go in the earlier rounds of fantasy drafts as they both can contribute in more ways than one on offense. Fantasy managers won't want to let either one slip too far this season.
