Key Storylines

Donovan Mitchell is Coming: Mitchell is apparently hoping to return on Friday, so we could actually see a somewhat healthy Cavs squad (Max Strus – questionable and Dean Wade – out are still dealing with stuff of course). Either way, the Cavs have battled through injuries all season to an impressive degree and hopefully Mitchell can come back with a vengeance to benefit his team and fantasy managers later this week.

Mann is the Man!: Tre Mann’s fantasy game has surprised me. I thought he was going to be an inefficient volume scorer. Instead, he’s doing a bunch of little things which add up to fantasy value. Decent scoring, a triple or two, some boards, some dimes and even some steals. The lack of explosive scoring probably has him going under the radar, but he is actually an underrated gem right now.

Stream of the Game

It’s easily Tre Mann for the reasons I stated above.

Alternatives: Nick Richards (blocks/rebounds/FG%), Vasilije Micic (assists), Grant Williams (points/3s), Georges Niang (3s).
