Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (calf) will miss Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics. The Cavaliers superstar initially picked up a questionable tag ahead of the contest due to a left calf strain. But it appears as though the injury is quite severe, and it won't let Mitchell play on Monday. Caris LeVert will enter the starting lineup in Mitchell's place. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in 10 starts during the regular season. Mitchell's absence also means Darius Garland has to step up on Cleveland's backcourt.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (calf) is questionable for Monday's playoff showdown with the Celtics. He popped up on the injury report because of a strained left calf. Yet, the Cavs are looking to knot things up, so fantasy managers should expect to see Mitchell on the floor. The 27-year-old has played exceptionally well in the series, averaging 31.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. He's also shot 53.3% from behind the arc, making him one of the top DFS options available on Monday night, assuming he gets the green light to play.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) is questionable for Monday's postseason battle against Boston. He's carried the same injury designation throughout the series because of a nagging rib contusion. Unfortunately, Allen hasn't been out there. The 26-year-old could be nearing a return, although he may be limited in his first few games back. But if Allen isn't available for Game 4, Isaac Okoro would presumably remain in the starting lineup. On the other hand, Caris LeVert, amassing 36 points in the last two contests from off the bench, is a more dependable DFS option.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics. He's been out for two months with a sprained right knee, but it now looks like Wade could be ready to return to the lineup. The 27-year-old averaged over 20 minutes per game during the regular season. Wade could play a significant role in the playoffs, with the Cavaliers frontcourt weakened by the absence of Jarrett Allen (rib). However, it's unclear how many minutes he will be ready to play following the two-month injury layoff.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) is in danger of missing a sixth consecutive game on Saturday against Boston. He's on the injury report with a questionable tag once again. Cleveland has listed Allen as questionable ahead of each game since he got hurt in the middle of the first-round series against Orlando. Allen's continued absence would mean another start for Isaac Okoro, who has scored double-digit points in back-to-back games.
