Donovan Mitchell Logs Full Practice On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) practiced fully on Thursday, indicating that he will be 100 percent ready when the team begins its playoff campaign on Sunday. The six-time All-Star sat out the final four regular-season games due to an ankle injury. Mitchell has proven himself as a highly productive playoff performer and will be expected to make a deep run with his team after the Cavaliers dominated the regular season. For his postseason career, Mitchell has averaged 28.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in 37.6 minutes.

Donovan Mitchell Will Be "Full-On" During Practice This Week

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) missed the last four games of the season due to an ankle injury, but he's trending in the right direction before the NBA Playoffs start. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said before their final game that Mitchell would be "full-on" during practice leading up to Game 1, which is waiting for the play-in games to be scheduled. The 28-year-old was voted to his sixth straight All-Star Game this season and averaged 24.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. The Cavaliers' big three of Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley will need to be fully healthy to make a playoff run, and it seems that they're moving closer to that.

Darius Garland Likely To Suit Up Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (toe) is probable for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Due to rest purposes, Garland sat out Thursday's game against the Pacers, but he will likely play this evening. The Cavs clinched the first seed in the Eastern Conference, so if Garland is good to go, he could see limited action this evening. The 25-year-old has been a key piece to Cleveland's success, averaging 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 31.9 minutes per contest across 74 games this season.

De'Andre Hunter Out Of Action Against Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (rest) will sit out Friday against the New York Knicks. Hunter will be out of action to rest after an impressive outing against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Despite the Cavs' 114-112 loss, Hunter posted 23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block across 32 minutes. Isaac Okoro, Javonte Green and Dean Wade are all in line for extra minutes with Hunter on the shelf against the Knicks.

Sam Merrill Sidelined For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (rest) will be out of action for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Merrill gets the evening off to rest after posting 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in a losing effort to the Indiana Pacers 114-112 on Thursday. With Merrill sidelined, 24-year-old forward Isaac Okoro will likely see an uptick in minutes on the floor and extra scoring opportunities during tonight's contest.

Max Strus  • SG  •  Cavaliers

Max Strus Slated To Suit Up Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) is available for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Strus will be on the floor this evening after missing the first leg of the Cavs' back-to-back set due to a knee issue. During his last outing, the 29-year-old finished with nine points, five assists and four assists across 25 minutes in a 135-113 win over the Bulls on Tuesday. He will likely start tonight with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) still on the shelf.

Ty Jerome  • PG  •  Cavaliers

Ty Jerome Unavailable For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the New York Knicks due to left knee injury management. Jerome will be out for the second half of back-to-back games after finishing with 24 points, six assists, two rebounds, and one block in 26 minutes against the Pacers on Thursday. The Cavs will likely rest several players for their last two games as they prepare for the playoffs. Jerome's last chance to suit up is during the team's regular season finale on Sunday afternoon versus the Pacers.

Jarrett Allen  • C  •  Cavaliers

Jarrett Allen To See Limited Action On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is available for Thursday's meeting with the Pacers. With Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), Evan Mobley (rest), and Max Strus (knee) getting the night off, Allen is the only starter who will get on the floor. However, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Net will play in a "limited capacity," meaning he will see fewer minutes than usual. As a result, Tristan Thompson and Chuma Okeke should be more productive, although Ty Jerome and De'Andre Hunter remain the safest fantasy options for the Cavs on Thursday night.

Evan Mobley  • PF  •  Cavaliers

Evan Mobley Will Be Rested Thursday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has nothing left to play for in the regular season and will give Mobley some time off to rest. He will be joined on the sidelines by Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), and Max Strus (knee), meaning the Cavaliers will head into action without four of their regular starters. Players such as Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill, De'Andre Hunter, and Dean Wade are set to play more prominent roles in the rotation.

Darius Garland  • PG  •  Cavaliers

Darius Garland Out Against Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (toe) will not take the court on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. Cleveland has just secured the top position in the Eastern Conference and will rest four of its regular starters on Thursday, including Garland, who is bothered by a toe sprain. Ty Jerome is likely to take over the point guard duties in the starting lineup, with Craig Porter Jr. serving as his primary backup. In his previous two starts this season, Jerome has averaged an impressive 26.5 points on 57.9 percent three-point shooting, adding 4.5 assists.

Donovan Mitchell  • SG  •  Cavaliers

Donovan Mitchell Misses Second Straight Game Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers, missing a second consecutive game. Cleveland's star man is nursing an ankle sprain, and the team has no reason to hurry his return since they have already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs. Darius Garland (toe) will also take the night off, opening the door for Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill to lead the backcourt. Jerome will enter Thursday's contest with good momentum, having notched 38 points across two games since returning from a knee injury.

Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out Versus Chicago

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against the Bulls. The Cavs are looking to lock up the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, the team will try to do it without their top scorer, who sprained his ankle in Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Of course, Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley should get more involved on the offensive end. However, there's room for increased fantasy production from Ty Jerome and De'Andre Hunter, with the duo combining for 31 points on Sunday.

Dean Wade  • PF  •  Cavaliers

Dean Wade Sidelined On Wednesday

Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Wade was ruled out late due to an illness that will keep him out of action for the first time since February 20. While the 28-year-old is out of the mix, Sam Merrill, Javonte Green and Isaac Okoro will likely be in line to receive extra minutes coming off the bench this evening.

Ty Jerome  • PG  •  Cavaliers

Ty Jerome Out Again On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team will need to figure out how to keep the ship afloat without arguably their top bench option. While De'Andre Hunter is the favorite to claim most of the surplus minutes from off the bench, Craig Porter Jr., who had nine points, five boards, and three steals in Friday's loss to Detroit, could find his way back to the floor.

Max Strus  • SG  •  Cavaliers

Max Strus Out Versus Pistons On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Detroit Pistons. Due to right ankle injury management, Strus will sit out the second half of back-to-back games. The 29-year-old posted 18 points, four rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes in a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Ty Jerome (knee) will also be out of action for tonight's contest, so Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro will likely see expanded roles.

Ty Jerome Unavailable For Friday's Matchup With Detroit

On Friday, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) will be out of action against the Detroit Pistons. Jerome will miss his second game in a row due to a knee issue. The 27-year-old finished with 25 points, two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in a 122-111 win over the Blazers on Tuesday. With Max Strus (ankle) also unavailable this evening, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro will likely receive a heavier workload during the contest.

Ty Jerome Sits Out Thursday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) will miss Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Ahead of tip-off, the team has downgraded Jerome's status from questionable to out. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters that he doesn't expect Jerome to be out long-term, so he might be ready to return later in the week. De'Andre Hunter and Sam Merrill are expected to contribute a bit more off the Cavaliers bench in Thursday's contest.

Ty Jerome  • PG  •  Cavaliers

Ty Jerome Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) may sit out Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, as he is listed as questionable on the injury report. With Donovan Mitchell (groin) out of commission, Jerome took on a larger offensive role in Tuesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, producing 25 points off the bench. However, he might not get a chance to build on that momentum due to a sore left knee. Craig Porter Jr. might join the rotation in Jerome's absence, but he is unlikely to play a significant role with Mitchell returning to the lineup.

Donovan Mitchell  • SG  •  Cavaliers

Donovan Mitchell Returning To Action Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is not listed on the injury report, indicating that he is ready to return to action on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell is managing a groin injury and sat out Tuesday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Sam Merrill, who had a decent showing with 14 points, two rebounds, and three assists. Recently, Mitchell has performed poorly, shooting only 33.3 percent from the field to average 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this month.

Evan Mobley  • PF  •  Cavaliers

Evan Mobley To Be Rested Against Spurs

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley will sit out Thursday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Cleveland is cruising at the top of the Eastern Conference and has begun resting its key players, and it has given the team a chance to rest one of its key players in Mobley. De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade will compete for Mobley's starting position on Thursday. Wade's game doesn't translate well to fantasy, so managers should focus on Hunter, who averaged 24.5 points against the Spurs in two meetings when he was still a member of the Atlanta Hawks earlier this season.
