Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hunter appears to be ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness. The Cavs are going to be without Donovan Mitchell (groin), so Hunter could be asked to take on a bigger role on Friday. The 27-year-old is worth a look as a streaming option, assuming he's cleared to play on Friday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will miss his second game in a row due to left groin soreness. The Cavs are in good enough position playoff-wise that they don't need to push Mitchell out there if he isn't 100 percent healthy. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He finished with six points and five rebounds across 32 minutes on Tuesday. It doesn't appear that the extended playing time is going to make Okoro a viable fantasy option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardTy Jerome(rest) will miss Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets for rest purposes. Jerome will get an extended rest with the Cavs out of action until Friday after tonight's contest. Donovan Mitchell (groin) and De'Andre Hunter(illness) are also sidelined, meaning players like Max Strus,Sam Merrill,Craig Porter, andJaylon Tysonwill likely see increased roles for Tuesday's home matchup against the Nets.

Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports that Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Although his left groin injury is not considered serious, the Cavs are being cautious with their 28-year-old star guard. While Mitchell is out of action against Brooklyn, plenty of scoring opportunities and extra minutes should be available for Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill. On Friday, Mitchell will likely return to Cleveland's rotation against the Grizzlies.
