Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Knicks. Mitchell is just dealing with knee soreness, so it doesn't appear he is in line to miss an extended period. However, it's still not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Friday night versus the Detroit Pistons, with Darius Garland finishing with a game-high 29 points. If Mitchell remains out for Sunday's meeting with New York, Garland is a must-start in any fantasy lineup, especially for managers participating in DFS contests. Evan Mobley, who had a 22-point, 17-rebound double-double with two blocks and two steals against Detroit, would also be a popular DFS option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Mitchell won't be able to battle through soreness in his left knee, missing a great matchup on Friday. Detroit holds the second-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.3), allows the fourth-most points per game (121.3), and surrenders more FanDuel points to opposing point guards than any other team in the league this season. The 27-year-old five-time All-Star has returned first-round fantasy value on the campaign as a whole, and over his latest 20 appearances, he's putting up 29.0 points, 6.8 dimes, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 triples, and 1.8 steals per contest. Mitchell hopes to return on Sunday versus the New York Knicks. While this game features a weak 219.5-point implied total, Darius Garland deserves heavy DFS rostership with the controls to the Cavs offense all to himself, as Caris LeVert (elbow) is also sidelined.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report because of left knee soreness, and if he doesn't suit up versus Detroit, it will mark his third absence in the Cavs' previous six games. Mitchell should always be in every fantasy lineup imaginable whenever he's active. However, if he can't make it out there, Darius Garland would be the No. 1 option offensively. It might also mean more production for Caris LeVert, who has averaged nearly 16 points this season in games where Mitchell isn't available.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will return on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games because of an illness. However, the 27-year-old was trending in the right direction, so fantasy managers already planned on getting him back in the lineup. With Mitchell's return, Isaac Okoro will presumably return to the bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Mitchell has missed due to an illness. Isaac Okoro figures to move into the starting five once again with Mitchell sidelined. He's not a great streaming option, but he could be worth a look in deep leagues. Caris LeVert is the better streaming choice but has been more of a boom-or-bust player lately. Darius Garland should have increased ball handling responsibilities with Mitchell set to miss another game.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) remains questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers. The 27-year-old missed Cleveland's first game back from the All-Star break and is in question again for their matchup in Philadelphia. If Mitchell remains out, it's likely Isaac Okoro will start once more, with Darius Garland and Caris LeVert expected to shoulder an increased workload. Mitchell's absence would leave a notable void as he averages 28.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't play on Thursday against the Magic. He did participate in shootaround on Thursday morning, so that's a good thing regarding his health. However, the 27-year-old will get the night off to rest. Isaac Okoro, averaging 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 24 starts this season, will fill the void in the lineup left by Mitchell's absence. Of course, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Darius Garland are the guys who may benefit the most.

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.
