Donovan Mitchell's First DFS Review
7 years agoUtah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell will be leading his squad as a rookie on the offensive end in what will be an interesting battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mitchell had an excellent rookie campaign leading all rookies in scoring at 20.5 points a contest and was on par with that average (20.7 points) against the Thunder in the three games he suited up in. A key point here is that all these games were before Christmas and the Thunder had elite defender Andre Roberson taking on the rookie, with Roberson out, we may see a combination of Corey Brewer, Russell Westbrook and even see some length with Paul George taking on the rookie at the defensive end. Mitchell should be in for a big series as he will want to prove doubters wrong that he should have had the ROY nod.

Donovan Mitchell Unavailable Against Portland
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard 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 Returning Versus Orlando
3 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard 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.

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Against Orlando
3 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 28-year-old has missed the last two games because of groin soreness. Yet, the Cavaliers have been just fine without him, with the team winning the last 16 games. If Mitchell doesn't make it back on Sunday, Evan Mobley (foot), who is questionable, and Darius Garland, combining for 42 points in Friday's win over the Grizzlies, will likely remain the Cavs' top offensive producers. De'Andre Hunter and Ty Jerome should also be more involved on the scoring end from off the bench.

Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out For Friday
3 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will miss his second game in a row due to left groin soreness. The Cavs are in good enough position playoff-wise that they don't need to push Mitchell out there if he isn't 100 percent healthy. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He finished with six points and five rebounds across 32 minutes on Tuesday. It doesn't appear that the extended playing time is going to make Okoro a viable fantasy option.
