Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) stated he's "100 percent" heading toward the postseason. The multi-time All-Star has battled a knee injury, limiting him to 10 games since March 1. Fortunately, Mitchell reported he received platelet-rich plasma injections while being closely monitored by the team's medical staff, so he'll be ready to go. The Cavs begin the postseason series with the Magic on Saturday. While DFS managers will continue to be apprehensive about Mitchell's health, it appears the knee issue is behind him, at least for now.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Charlotte Hornets. He is listed as out because of left knee injury management. The Cavaliers are playing it safe with their star guard and are turning their attention toward the playoffs. Caris LeVert (knee) will also be sidelined, while Darius Garland (back) is listed as doubtful. Mitchell closes the 2023-2024 regular season with averages of 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists. He is expected to lead the Cleveland when the postseason begins, and if they plan to advance through multiple rounds of the Eastern Conference, they will need him to perform at his best.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (face) has been listed as available on the team's latest official injury report and will be wearing a facemask to protect his nose. The 27-year-old played in the team's last game against the Memphis Grizzlies and delivered 29 points, eight assists, four rebounds, three steals, one block, and three turnovers. The Cavaliers are still vying for playoff positions right now, so each one of their two remaining games is important. Mitchell will be heavily involved, as usual, so he could be a big-time DFS option heading down the stretch of the regular season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee, nose) is listed as available on the NBA's official injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Mitchell's health has been a topic of discussion lately, with many questioning his durability heading toward the postseason. With that said, the Cavaliers have won just three of their last 10 games, so they need the All-Star on the floor for the rest of the regular season. Fortunately, Cleveland has a favorable matchup on the horizon versus the 27-win Grizzlies. Yet, Mitchell could spend more time on the bench if the Cavs manage to build a decisive lead throughout the contest, which wouldn't be an ideal scenario as it relates to his DFS potential.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The multi-time All-Star was on the floor for Saturday's loss to the Lakers, logging a game-high 38 minutes and finishing with 10 points, seven assists, and three steals. But with the Cavs playing their second of back-to-back contests on Sunday, Mitchell will take a breather before presumably returning for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Without Mitchell in the lineup, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and Max Strus should benefit. Caris LeVert could also enter the starting lineup, with the 29-year-old averaging 16.0 points, 7.6 assists, 5.3 boards, and 1.3 steals in nine starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) is available for Wednesday's game in Phoenix. The 27-year-old has been banged up all season, so Tuesday's absence versus the Jazz was his 25th of the 2023-24 campaign. But with a relatively easy contest against Utah in the books, it should be all hands on deck for the Cavs for the remainder of the team's road trip. Caris LeVert, finishing with a game-high 26 points on Tuesday evening, will presumably head back to the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling. Sam Merrill, who logged 32 minutes in that one, will likely see his workload cut in half, making him irrelevant for DFS purposes.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. Despite not being listed on the initial injury report, Mitchell won't be available for the Cavs or fantasy managers in Tuesday's revenge game against his former Jazz team as he rehabs his left knee. The two-way superstar looks to return in the third outing of Cleveland's five-game West Coast road trip on Wednesday for a battle against the Phoenix Suns. Swingman Caris LeVert will jump right back on the fantasy streaming map versus Utah, who are yielding the third-most FanDuel points to opposing shooting guards. In 19 games without Mitchell this season, LeVert is averaging 13.4 points, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.8 three-pointers.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) is listed as available on the league's official injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Mitchell dealt with various ailments over the last few months and only played two contests before finally returning on Friday against Philadelphia. He logged 32 minutes. However, the 27-year-old finished with only 12 points, shooting a rough 4-for-13 from the field. Hopefully, Mitchell shook off any residual rust caused by his prolonged absence. Yet, he'll still have a tough matchup on tap with the champs.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will return to the court on Friday against Philadelphia, ending a six-game absence. This will be only his third appearance of the month, as the Cavaliers superstar has had some awful luck with injuries. Mitchell's return pushes Isaac Okoro back to the second unit, which will be a big blow to his fantasy appeal. The Sixers had massive struggles containing Mitchell in the last head-to-head clash, giving up 36 points.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee, nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The upgrade coincides with a report on Wednesday from The Athletic's Shams Charania that Mitchell was targeting a return on Friday from a six-game absence with a knee injury and nasal fracture. Even so, the two-way superstar's status could ultimately come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. Point forward Caris LeVert's run as a primary ball handler for the Cavs could be nearing a close, averaging 11.8 points, 7.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 threes, and 1.4 steals through his last 12 games (seven starts). He should remain held in all fantasy leagues until Mitchell is officially cleared, though.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose/knee) is targeting a return to action as soon as Friday's home game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Mitchell has been sidelined since March 16 due to a knee issue and nasal fracture, but he's now on the cusp of a return. Although the two-way All-Star guard won't be available for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets, Mitchell still has a chance to return during the fantasy semifinals and boost playoff rosters. Swingman Caris LeVert is averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers over his last 11 appearances (seven starts), and he remains a must-roster player against a Hornets team that's tied for the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.8) in basketball.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) had a procedure for a nasal fracture and will be re-evaluated in one week. Mitchell missed Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers due to a fractured nose and will now be unavailable for a significant portion of the fantasy postseason as a result. Darius Garland will continue to take on heavy ball-handling duties in the meantime, and Caris LeVert should be rostered in all leagues. In 14 games without Mitchell this season, LeVert is submitting 15.0 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will miss Monday's matchup against Indiana. After returning from a knee injury, Mitchell lasted just two games in the lineup, breaking his nose in Saturday's contest against Houston. Caris LeVert is set for a fresh boost in fantasy value without Mitchell, while Darius Garland will once again carry a heavier burden on the Cavaliers' backcourt. Garland's numbers have jumped to 22.7 points and 6.5 assists in games without Mitchell this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pacers. After missing seven consecutive contests, Mitchell has since suited up in two games in a row. In Saturday's game against Houston, the 27-year-old left in the second half with knee issues. The All-Star Mitchell recorded 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 23 minutes on the court.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Mitchell will make his return to the court after missing each of the last seven games. His return will push Caris LeVert back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal. LeVert should still hold some value, but his scoring chances will likely take a hit with Mitchell back. There is no word on a minutes limit, so fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Mitchell back in their lineups.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's clash with the New Orleans Pelicans. Although there's still a good chance the 27-year-old won't be back on Tuesday, he's at least moving in the right direction after missing the last seven games with a bone bruise in his left knee. Of course, Mitchell needs to be added to all fantasy lineups once he's cleared. But with Max Strus (knee) and Evan Mobley (knee) already ruled out, Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter Jr. should see enough work to remain adequate fantasy options if Mitchell doesn't return on Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. Mitchell will miss a seventh straight contest due to a left knee bone bruise and hope to return in Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. In 12 games without Mitchell this season, Darius Garland is submitting 22.1 points, 6.6 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per contest and is a must-start in all season-long fantasy leagues against the Suns.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is making progress but is unlikely to play on Monday versus Phoenix, reports Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer. The Cavaliers superstar has been out for six games. The team has "hope" of him being able to return to the court during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts on Wednesday with a contest in New Orleans. Darius Garland has run the Cavaliers backcourt in Mitchell's absence, with Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, Georges Niang, and Isaac Okoro all benefiting from the team's injury problems.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will miss at least the next three games. The All-Star has sat out the last two contests because of a bone bruise in his left knee. While many had hoped the injury would only be a short-term issue, Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer reported Mitchell underwent Platelet Rich Plasma injections, so he'll miss upcoming meetings with Boston, Atlanta, and Minnesota before getting re-evaluated over the weekend. The 27-year-old has had one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 28.0 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds. Fantasy managers should remain optimistic that Mitchell will be back on the floor when the Cavs meet the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night. Of course, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen should benefit from a production standpoint without Mitchell. But Max Strus, Caris LeVert, and ... [More]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Mitchell sat out Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons due to soreness in his left knee, and he's unable to go on Sunday as well. A first-round fantasy asset all year long, the 27-year-old perennial All-Star's last 20 games show averages of 29.0 points, 6.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers, and 1.8 steals per contest. Tuesday's showdown with the first-place Boston Celtics is Mitchell's next opportunity to take the court. The Knicks are allowing the second-fewest DraftKings points to opposing point guards, but Darius Garland is the clear fantasy beneficiary of Mitchell's absence after burying a season-high eight treys with the keys to the offense all in his lap on Friday. Garland is averaging 23.9 points, 6.1 assists, 2.8 threes, and 1.4 steals through seven outings sans Mitchell this year.
