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

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's clash with the New Orleans Pelicans. Although there's still a good chance the 27-year-old won't be back on Tuesday, he's at least moving in the right direction after missing the last seven games with a bone bruise in his left knee. Of course, Mitchell needs to be added to all fantasy lineups once he's cleared. But with Max Strus (knee) and Evan Mobley (knee) already ruled out, Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter Jr. should see enough work to remain adequate fantasy options if Mitchell doesn't return on Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. Mitchell will miss a seventh straight contest due to a left knee bone bruise and hope to return in Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. In 12 games without Mitchell this season, Darius Garland is submitting 22.1 points, 6.6 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per contest and is a must-start in all season-long fantasy leagues against the Suns.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is making progress but is unlikely to play on Monday versus Phoenix, reports Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer. The Cavaliers superstar has been out for six games. The team has "hope" of him being able to return to the court during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts on Wednesday with a contest in New Orleans. Darius Garland has run the Cavaliers backcourt in Mitchell's absence, with Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, Georges Niang, and Isaac Okoro all benefiting from the team's injury problems.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will miss at least the next three games. The All-Star has sat out the last two contests because of a bone bruise in his left knee. While many had hoped the injury would only be a short-term issue, Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer reported Mitchell underwent Platelet Rich Plasma injections, so he'll miss upcoming meetings with Boston, Atlanta, and Minnesota before getting re-evaluated over the weekend. The 27-year-old has had one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 28.0 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds. Fantasy managers should remain optimistic that Mitchell will be back on the floor when the Cavs meet the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night. Of course, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen should benefit from a production standpoint without Mitchell. But Max Strus, Caris LeVert, and Isaac Okoro should also flourish.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Mitchell sat out Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons due to soreness in his left knee, and he's unable to go on Sunday as well. A first-round fantasy asset all year long, the 27-year-old perennial All-Star's last 20 games show averages of 29.0 points, 6.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers, and 1.8 steals per contest. Tuesday's showdown with the first-place Boston Celtics is Mitchell's next opportunity to take the court. The Knicks are allowing the second-fewest DraftKings points to opposing point guards, but Darius Garland is the clear fantasy beneficiary of Mitchell's absence after burying a season-high eight treys with the keys to the offense all in his lap on Friday. Garland is averaging 23.9 points, 6.1 assists, 2.8 threes, and 1.4 steals through seven outings sans Mitchell this year.
