Donovan Mitchell (illness) starting Game 1 for Utah; Danuel House back to bench
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is in the lineup Saturday in the team's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Mitchell missed the regular season finale Sunday due to a non-COVID illness. However, for the first game of Round 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs, he has been fully cleared to play. Mitchell will also immediately start in his return to the court, sending Danuel House back to a bench role.
Our models project Mitchell for 25.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 41.0 FanDuel points across 35.3 minutes of action.
