Utah's Donovan Mitchell (illness) doubtful on Saturday
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (flu-like symptoms) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
There was no news on this earlier in the day, and a sudden "doubtful" listing means he's a serious long-shot to play. Even if he does, he will be coming off the bench as Alec Burks draws the start in his place. Rodney Hood (leg) is also returning to action tonight, meaning there will be fewer minutes available on the wing.
If Mitchell does play, numberFire's models have him projected for 36.1 FanDuel points in 35.8 minutes of action, though at this point you shouldn't count on him to play nearly that many minutes.
