Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. The team has not listed him on the injury report. Mitchell skipped Sunday's action against the Portland Trail Blazers for rest purposes. De'Andre Hunter received an opportunity to start and led all scorers with 32 points in a 133-129 win. He might remain part of the first unit on Tuesday, as Cleveland will rest Evan Mobley against the Bulls.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (rest) won't play on Tuesday against Chicago. Fortunately, he's not injured. But the 2021 No. 3 overall pick will take the night off to rest before likely returning for Wednesday's matchup with the Miami Heat. Without Mobley on the floor, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen should all see more scoring opportunities. The same could apply for De'Andre Hunter, who will likely enter the starting lineup. Ty Jerome, coming off a 25-point effort in Sunday's overtime win over Portland, should also remain more involved off the bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (hip) once again carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Orlando Magic. He was also considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies and was eventually ruled out. Isaac Okoro stepped into the starting lineup as Garland's replacement, though Ty Jerome benefitted the most from his absence. Jerome matched his third-highest scoring output of the season with a 26-point effort. He will likely handle extra offensive duties again on Tuesday if Garland remains out.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) will play in Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The tenacious big man injured his right index finger in the previous game against the New York Knicks, logging only 20 minutes, but fortunately, he will not be forced to miss additional time. Allen has been a big part of Cleveland's success this season, averaging 13.6 points and 10.4 rebounds with 70.6 percent shooting from the field. On Sunday, Allen may have more success offensively than usual, as Memphis allows the eighth-most points per game to opposing centers.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. Garland landed on the injury report with a hip contusion and initially had a questionable tag. With Garland missing, Ty Jerome and Craig Porter Jr. may feature more in the rotation. Jerome has had a nice year as the leader of the Cavaliers' second unit and is the better fantasy option. In the previous two games Garland has missed this season, Jerome averaged 24.5 points and 4.0 assists.
