Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores 21 points in win Wednesday
Donovan Mitchell supplied 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 136-106 victory over Toronto.Mitchell finished as the Cleveland Cavaliers' second-highest scorer in this blowout win behind Evan Mobley, who posted 25 points across 27 minutes. Mitchell still delivered an excellent fantasy stat line since he found a way to contribute multiple tallies in four of the five major categories. Mobley might lead the Cavaliers in scoring from time to time, as he figures to have a bigger role on offense in 2024-25, but Mitchell should remain as the team's go-to player. If he stays healthy, he should be one of the guards with the highest fantasy floors in The Association.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Extension expected this offseason
The Cleveland Cavaliers are confident in reaching an extension with Donovan Mitchell (calf) this offseason and will soon present the five-star All-Star guard with a four-year, $209 million maximum contract offer, Shams Charania, Joe Vardon and Jason Lloyd of The Athletic report.Mitchell's current contract runs through the 2025-26 season, but because he holds a $37.1 million player option for that season that he would almost certainly decline, the Cavaliers are eager to strike a long-term deal with him rather than risk losing him in free agency next summer. On a related note, the Cavaliers are eager to hire an offensive-minded head coach who values ball movement to get the most out of Mitchell, with the report noting that the organization has narrowed down its search to Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson and Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego, both of whom have previous head-coaching experience with the Nets and Hornets, respectively. Mitchell missed the final two games of the Cavaliers' Eastern Conference semifinal round loss to the Celtics with a left calf strain, but he's expected to be fully healthy well in advance of training camp in the fall.
