Donovan Mitchell (nose) on track Friday for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) was present for the morning shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Mitchell is listed as questionable, but this is a positive sign he will be able to return from a six-game absence. Darius Garland, who is listed as probable due to an ankle injury, was also at the morning shootaround. Caris LeVert (wrist) was a late addition to the injury report, so Mitchell's return would help offset the potential absence. Isaac Okoro will likely remain in the starting lineup if Mitchell is ruled out again.
numberFire's models project Mitchell for 29.4 minutes and 32.5 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Cavs implied total (110.25) is No. 10 out of 18 teams on the Main slate today, while the game total (212.0) is second-lowest on the board.
