• Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Productive in preseason win

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Mitchell ended with 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando. As was the case in Thursday's preseason loss to the Celtics, Mitchell scored 11 points versus Orlando. However, he was inefficient when shooting the ball and has now shot a combined 1-for-6 from deep in his first two preseason appearances of the year. Mitchell, who agreed to a four-year, $273 million contract extension in July, is coming off a solid 2025-26 campaign, averaging 27.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.5 steals over 33.5 minutes per contest in 70 regular-season games. The 2017 No. 13 overall pick does a lot of things well, and assuming he continues to stay healthy, he should be a top-15 fantasy producer in any format.

• Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores 11 points in limited action

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Mitchell recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three assists across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics. Mitchell played exclusively in the first half as Cleveland distributed minutes evenly among its starters, with all five logging exactly 17 minutes. With Cleveland prioritizing rotation evaluation during the preseason, Mitchell's modest workload shouldn't raise concerns about his regular-season offensive role. He should remain one of the team's go-to options ahead of the regular-season opener against the 76ers on Thursday, Oct. 22.

• Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: '100 Percent committed' to Cleveland

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill reported that Mitchell is "100 percent committed" to the organization, Daniel Chavkin of The Sporting News reports. Mitchell agreed to a four-year, $275 million extension during the offseason after leading the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2025-26. While the new contract should have extinguished any doubt regarding Mitchell's desire to remain with the organization moving forward, Merrill recalled how things went during the last extension. "Donovan's 100 percent committed here," Merrill stated. "I remember when he signed his last extension, when everyone thought he was going to leave and there [were] questions about it." The 30-year-old has spent the last four seasons in Cleveland after beginning his career in Utah. He most recently appeared in 70 regular-season games, averaging 27.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 33.5 minutes per contest. Mitchell has been a top fantasy contributor for years, and his all-around production gives him top-10 upside in all fantasy formats.

• Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Prepping for first full year with Harden

  08/20/2026 • By RotoWire

  Mitchell will be sharing the backcourt with James Harden again this season after the latter re-signed with Cleveland. Harden may soak up more usage than Mitchell's previous backcourt partner, Darius Garland, but Mitchell didn't see a notable drop-off in fantasy value with Harden in the fray following last year's trade deadline. Mitchell averaged 26.0 points, 5.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in 22 regular-season appearances with Harden in 2025-26, keeping the former squarely in conversations as an elite fantasy asset.

• Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Valiant effort in Game 4 loss

  05/26/2026 • By RotoWire

  Mitchell produced 31 points (9-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Mitchell put together his best game of the series, which included a postseason-high five treys to lead the Cavs in scoring. However, it wasn't nearly enough to fend off the Knicks, who will advance to the NBA Finals following a four-game sweep. Mitchell averaged 27.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals in the Eastern Conference Finals.
