With Mitchell out, Sam Merrill and Dennis Schroder could see some additional playing time. Both have similar floor and ceilings for fantasy, but Schroder is likely the more stable option.

Donovan Mitchell filled the stat sheet for the Cavaliers Sunday, dishing out five assists, recording two steals, grabbing seven rebounds, and scoring 20 points (9-19 FG, 0-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) in a 121-113 loss to the Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

Mitchell continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing three or more rebounds, dishing out four or more assists, and scoring 17 or more points in each of his last three games. The 29-year-old remains an explosive backcourt option as part of a talented Cleveland starting five for head coach Kenny Atkinson, averaging 28.6 points, 1.5 steals, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 31.6% so far this season.

Donovan Mitchell scored 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-1 FT) with three rebounds and five assists in Thursday's 112-84 blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Despite shooting an efficient 58.3% from the field, Mitchell was held under 20 points for the first time since February 1. The main reason was that none of the Cleveland Cavaliers' starters played in the fourth quarter, as the team led by as much as 43 points in the third quarter. Mitchell will look to stay efficient in Friday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.
