Donovan Mitchell (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Bulls. The Cavs are looking to lock up the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, the team will try to do it without their top scorer, who sprained his ankle in Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Of course,
Jarrett Allen,
Darius Garland, and
Evan Mobley should get more involved on the offensive end. However, there's room for increased fantasy production from
Ty Jerome and
De'Andre Hunter, with the duo combining for 31 points on Sunday.

Donovan Mitchell (groin) is not listed on the injury report, indicating that he is ready to return to action on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell is managing a groin injury and sat out Tuesday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. He was replaced in the starting lineup by
Sam Merrill, who had a decent showing with 14 points, two rebounds, and three assists. Recently, Mitchell has performed poorly, shooting only 33.3 percent from the field to average 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this month.

Donovan Mitchell (groin) will not suit up for Tuesday's clash against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been ruled out for groin injury management purposes.
Ty Jerome,
De'Andre Hunter, and
Isaac Okoro are expected to fill larger roles with Mitchell unavailable. The latter started in Mitchell's place in back-to-back games when he was out earlier this month with a groin injury. However, Jerome and Hunter are definitely the better fantasy options, as Okoro struggles to fill the stat sheet even if he logs 30-plus minutes.

Donovan Mitchell (groin) will return from a two-game absence for Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 28-year-old has battled a sore groin. However, it didn't stop the Cavaliers from extending their win streak to 16 games.
De'Andre Hunter and
Ty Jerome got some extra work while Mitchell was out, with
Darius Garland and
Evan Mobley (foot) carrying most of the load offensively. But with Mobley ruled out, there's still room for at least Hunter to remain involved from off the bench.
