Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Unavailable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Mitchell won't play Tuesday against the Trail Blazers due to left groin injury management.
This appears to be a precautionary move by Cleveland to ensure Mitchell remains healthy after missing two games earlier in the month with a groin injury. Look for De'Andre Hunter and Sam Merrill to see more playing time in Mitchell's absence.

Rotowire
Mitchell chipped in seven points (2-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 123-112 loss to the Suns.
The All-Star guard remains mired in a shooting slump. While sheer volume has allowed Mitchell to top 20 points in five of his eight March appearances, he's shooting just 32.9 percent from the floor and a woeful 17.9 percent from beyond the arc on the month, and averages of 20.9 points, 5.1 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals.

Rotowire
Mitchell registered 18 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 loss to the Clippers.
The double-double was his fourth of the season, but surprisingly his first involving assists. Mitchell still hasn't quite found his shot since returning from a two-game absence due to a minor groin injury, going 5-for-23 (21.7 percent) from three-point range in two contests since rejoining the lineup.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores 23 points in return
Rotowire
Mitchell chipped in 23 points (9-28 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Magic.
Mitchell returned to the hardwood after missing two games due to a groin issue, and he was the leading scorer for a Cavaliers team that lost a game for the first time since Feb. 4. The star guard is averaging 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game since the beginning of March, but don't be surprised if he gets some more extra rest in coming games since the Cavaliers already locked up a postseason berth.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Mitchell (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Mitchell has a chance to return from a two-game absence due to left groin soreness. He had averaged 25.7 points, 4.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds over 31.0 minutes per game since the All-Star break and prior to his injury. Isaac Okoro would be in line to make a third consecutive start if Mitchell is unable to suit up Sunday.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Ruled out against Brooklyn
Rotowire
Mitchell (groin) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nets, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
Mitchell has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday despite his left groin injury not being considered serious. Still, Cleveland will be cautious with the star guard, which should open up increased playing time for Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro. Mitchell's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Memphis.
Head coach Kenny Atkinson said that Mitchell's groin injury is "definitely nothing serious," and he is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
While Atkinson relayed that the groin soreness shouldn't cause a long-term setback, he also added that the team tends to err on the side of caution, per Amico. If the club holds the superstar shooting guard out of Tuesday's contest, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro could see a bump in minutes, especially if De'Andre Hunter (illness) is ruled out.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Mitchell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets with left groin soreness.
After Tuesday's game, the Cavaliers are off until Friday, so they might consider giving Mitchell the night off for maintenance against the shorthanded Nets. Ty Jerome will be rested Tuesday, so there could be more opportunity for guys like Craig Porter, Sam Merrill, Max Strus and maybe even Jaylon Tyson.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Struggles with shot in win
Rotowire
Mitchell chipped in 15 points (4-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 win over the Bucks.
Mitchell saw the end of his four-game streak putting up 24 or more points, but perhaps the most worrisome outcome of Sunday's outing is the fact that he shot the ball very poorly. He might be averaging 25.7 points, 4.4 assists and 4.2 boards per game since the end of the All-Star break, but the efficiency is trending in the wrong direction. Over that nine-game stretch, he's making just 43.6 percent of his shots from the field and 34.3 percent of his three-point attempts.

Mitchell led the way for the Cavaliers in a game that turned out to be closer than initially predicted, and the star guard continues to step up right when the team needs him the most. This was Mitchell's sixth outing with 25-plus points across the seven he's played since the All-Star break. He's averaging 27.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest in that span.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Mitchell has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to rest.
Sunday's game isn't part of a back-to-back set, but Mitchell, who dropped a season-high 41 points during Friday's comeback win in Boston, will get the afternoon off. He should return to action Tuesday in Chicago. In Mitchell's absence, Isaac Okoro, Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill and De'Andre Hunter are all candidates for increased roles.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Takes over with 41-point effort
Rotowire
Mitchell finished Friday's 123-116 win over the Celtics with 41 points (13-26 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
Mitchell came into this game well rested since he logged only 23 minutes in a blowout win over the Magic on Feb. 25. He responded by notching his best scoring output of the campaign in a game during which the Cavs needed him the most. Excluding that aforementioned game against the Magic, Mitchell has scored at least 21 points in eight contests in a row and should continue to operate as the Cavs' primary offensive weapon. He's averaging 25.8 points, 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game since the beginning of February.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Leads all scorers with 33 points
Rotowire
Mitchell closed Sunday's 129-123 win over Memphis with 33 points (11-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-11 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes.
With backcourt mate Darius Garland (hip) out Sunday, Mitchell took over as Cleveland's clear-cut primary ball handler and submitted his 17th game of the year with at least 30 points. Over his last seven outings, Mitchell has averaged 27.7 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes. If Garland remains sidelined for Tuesday's tilt against the Magic, Mitchell should have the keys to the Cavaliers' offense all to himself once again.

Rotowire
Mitchell racked up 27 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 142-105 win over the Knicks.
Mitchell finished with a highly efficient 27 points in only 26 minutes, going 10-for-15 from the floor in the blowout win Friday against New York. The star guard has scored 26 or more points in three of the last five games, helping the Cavaliers stretch their win streak to six games and improve their record to 46-10, which gives them a six-game lead over the Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings.
Mitchell finished with 26 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 110-97 win over the Nets.
Mitchell didn't have his best shooting performance Thursday, but he plowed through those struggles and still finished with a solid offensive showing. Mitchell has scored at least 20 points in each of his last five outings, though that kind of output is the floor fantasy managers could expect from the star guard.
