Donovan Mitchell (illness) present at Cavaliers shootaround
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) was seen at the morning shootaround ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Mitchell is listed as questionable, but this is a positive sign for his status. If he winds up being ruled out, there will be more opportunities for Caris LeVert, Darius Garland, and Max Strus. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter would also be able to benefit.
numberFire's models project Mitchell for 36.0 minutes and 44.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Cavs' implied total (111.25) is No. 15 out of 20 teams on the Main slate, while the game total (215.0) is the lowest on the board.
