Donovan Mitchell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell scored a game-high 48 points in Tuesday's playoff clash with the Pacers. He added nine assists, five rebounds, four steals, and one block. With Darius Garland (toe), Evan Mobley (ankle), and De'Andre Hunter (thumb) sidelined, most had anticipated Mitchell would be even more potent on the scoring end. Unfortunately, his efforts on both sides of the ball weren't enough, with Tyrese Haliburton draining a three-point shot to win the contest and put the Pacers up 2-0 in the series. Mitchell has combined for 60 shot attempts in the first two games of the series. But it's tough to imagine he'll see the same level of involvement in Game 3 on Friday night, especially if Garland, Mobley, and/or Hunter are back in the mix. Still, Mitchell will surely be a popular DFS option on Friday after such a splendid showing, no matter who else is on the floor for the Cavs.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell scored a game-high 33 points in the Game 1 Eastern Conference semi-final meeting with Indiana. He added five rebounds, four assists, and one steal. While Mitchell was productive, he struggled shooting the ball, going 13-for-30 from the field and 1-for-11 from behind the three-point line. He did have a strong run in the third quarter. Still, his efforts weren't good enough to lead the Cavs to a victory. With Cleveland dropping the first game of the series, both clubs will do it again on Tuesday night. Mitchell should remain heavily involved on the offensive end even if Darius Garland (toe) is back in the mix.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell heated up in the final quarter and finished Wednesday's 121-112 victory over the Miami Heat with a team-high 30 points on 10-for-21 shooting. He tallied 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, including 10 over the final four minutes when Miami cut it to a two-point game. The Cavaliers star had a busy night, totaling six rebounds, six assists, and one steal over 36 minutes of action. Mitchell also had 30 points in the series opener and looks to be in fine form despite sitting out the end of the regular season due to an ankle injury.
