DONOVAN MITCHELL NEWS

Bounces back with 20 points Mitchell contributed 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 115-105 victory over Washington.

Mitchell has dealt with a few hiccups in the scoring column here and there in 2024-25, but he's still averaging a strong 22.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.7 three-pointers per game across his last 11 appearances.

Held in check in loss Mitchell ended Sunday's 122-113 loss to Miami with 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

Impact Mitchell was held in check by the Heat on Sunday, with his 12 points being just two shy of his season-low mark of 10 points set during a Nov. 20 rout of the injury-riddled Pelicans. The superstar guard has been up and down over his last nine games, but he's still averaging a strong 21.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.8 three-pointers while shooting 41.5 percent from deep across this span. Up next for Mitchell is a chance to bounce back in a favorable matchup at home Friday against the Wizards, who rank last in the league in defensive efficiency rating (118.8).

Sniffs triple-double Saturday Mitchell notched 18 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-102 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Evan Mobley stole the show with his 41-point performance Saturday, but Mitchell delivered an impressive fantasy line while finishing just two boards and two dimes away from a triple-double. He failed to achieve 20 or more points for the third time in his last five outings, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about the recent drop in scoring, as he often delivers enough in peripheral stats to remain an excellent option across all formats.

Impact Mitchell did a little bit of everything for Cleveland in Thursday's high-scoring contest, taking the game over offensively while leading all players in scoring and threes made to go along with a team-high-tying assist total. Mitchell, who also led the team with a pair of blocks, has connected on at least five threes in seven contests while scoring at least 25 points on 11 occasions.

Takes over in fourth quarter in win Mitchell supplied 35 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Mitchell came up huge for the Cavaliers in Sunday's narrow win over the Celtics, scoring 20 of his game-high 35 points in the fourth quarter and making each of his six field-goal attempts in the final period. It was a much-needed bounce-back effort for Mitchell, who scored just 12 points in Friday's loss to the Hawks and was shooting just 40.4 percent from the field in his last five games. The star guard would appear to have a good chance of building off Sunday's performance in Tuesday's game at home against the 2-16 Wizards, a team allowing the second-most points per game (123.1) in the league this year.
