Donovan Mitchell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
