Donovan Mitchell SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Sitting out Monday
Mitchell is listed out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.
Though Mitchell is being listed with an injury, the Cavaliers are most likely just giving him a day of rest for the second leg of their back-to-back set. Mitchell didn't seem to be hindered by an injury in a 117-108 win over the Pacers on Sunday, finishing with 38 points (16-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Bez Mbeng SG | UTA
Jazz's Bez Mbeng: Dropped from rotation Sunday
Mbeng (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Jazz's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.
Since joining the Jazz on March 13, Mbeng had been a staple in the rotation and averaged 29.8 minutes over his 12 appearances, but he was surprisingly phased out of the mix Sunday. Rather than turning to Mbeng on the second unit, head coach Will Hardy called upon Svi Mykhailiuk -- who had played in just one of the Jazz's previous 17 games -- to fill the eighth and final spot in the rotation. While the arrangement may not be permanent moving forward, Mbeng's lack of playing time Sunday illustrates the risk that the rookie guard will carry as a streaming option for steals over Utah's final three games of the season.
