The Cavaliers anticipate Mitchell (ankle) will be ready for the first-round playoff series against their opponent on Sunday, which is yet to be determined, Joe Reedy of the Associated Press reports.

Mitchell missed the last four games of the Cavaliers' regular season to nurse a sprained left ankle. The superstar guard's numbers dipped across the board during the 2024-25 campaign, but it resulted in a better all-around performance from the squad, a 64-win finish and the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Aldama chipped in 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors.

Aldama was a bright spot in the loss, and the Grizzlies may need even more from him Friday if Ja Morant is unable to play -- the guard tweaked his ankle in the loss, though he insists he's fine. Aldama had a terrific regular season, posting averages of 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Jackson totaled 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors.

Jackson was underwhelming on both ends of the court Tuesday. Ja Morant tweaked his ankle in the loss, meaning more usage could be headed Jackson's way if the guard can't shake it. The Grizzlies will face the loser of the matchup between Dallas and Sacramento for the final spot in the playoffs on Friday.

Pippen supplied nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to Golden State.

Ja Morant tweaked his ankle in the loss, though the star guard insists he won't miss any time. However, if Morant's ankle gets the best of him, Pippen could be forced into a much larger role for the Grizzlies. Pippen is coming off a strong regular season, posting averages of 9.9 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers across 79 appearances.

Post amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis.

This was Post's largest workload since March 22, but, notably, coach Steve Kerr trusted him in his first taste of the playoffs. Post is the preferred backup big these days, and Jonathan Kuminga has been buried on the depth chart as a result.

Payton supplied 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis.

Payton is known as a defensive specialist, so his 12 points were the icing on the cake after limiting Memphis' Ja Morant. With Jonathan Kuminga picking up another healthy scratch, Payton could see a healthy role with the second unit going forward.

Kuminga (coach's decision) did not see the floor in Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In victory over the Grizzlies.

Kuminga hasn't seen action in two straight games for the Warriors, and it's clear that coach Steve Kerr has other plans for his rotation moving forward. The Warriors used a 10-man rotation Tuesday, so it's not a good sign for Kuminga to be completely left out.

Carter provided 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game victory over the Hawks.

This was Carter's highest-scoring performance since Feb. 6. Games like this have been few and far between. For the regular season, Carter finished outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game.

Gueye totaled 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Gueye was a bright spot in a disappointing overall showing from the Hawks. The forward offers solid per-minute upside in fantasy, but he's seen just 21.4 minutes over his last five outings. In that span, Gueye has posted averages of 7.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks on 56.5 percent shooting from the field.

Risacher closed with seven points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Risacher struggled to generate anything offensively while playing in his first-ever postseason game, though the usage was encouraging. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher still has a long way to go as a fantasy asset -- he finished well outside the top-200 for nine-category value with 12.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers on 45.5 percent shooting from the field.
