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

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose/knee) is targeting a return to action as soon as Friday's home game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Mitchell has been sidelined since March 16 due to a knee issue and nasal fracture, but he's now on the cusp of a return. Although the two-way All-Star guard won't be available for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets, Mitchell still has a chance to return during the fantasy semifinals and boost playoff rosters. Swingman Caris LeVert is averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers over his last 11 appearances (seven starts), and he remains a must-roster player against a Hornets team that's tied for the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.8) in basketball.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) had a procedure for a nasal fracture and will be re-evaluated in one week. Mitchell missed Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers due to a fractured nose and will now be unavailable for a significant portion of the fantasy postseason as a result. Darius Garland will continue to take on heavy ball-handling duties in the meantime, and Caris LeVert should be rostered in all leagues. In 14 games without Mitchell this season, LeVert is submitting 15.0 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will miss Monday's matchup against Indiana. After returning from a knee injury, Mitchell lasted just two games in the lineup, breaking his nose in Saturday's contest against Houston. Caris LeVert is set for a fresh boost in fantasy value without Mitchell, while Darius Garland will once again carry a heavier burden on the Cavaliers' backcourt. Garland's numbers have jumped to 22.7 points and 6.5 assists in games without Mitchell this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pacers. After missing seven consecutive contests, Mitchell has since suited up in two games in a row. In Saturday's game against Houston, the 27-year-old left in the second half with knee issues. The All-Star Mitchell recorded 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 23 minutes on the court.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Mitchell will make his return to the court after missing each of the last seven games. His return will push Caris LeVert back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal. LeVert should still hold some value, but his scoring chances will likely take a hit with Mitchell back. There is no word on a minutes limit, so fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Mitchell back in their lineups.
