Mitchell will get a night off to manage this groin injury that caused him to miss a couple games this month. Isaac Okoro started that game, but he isn't a player that is worth streaming in. De'Andre Hunter should see extra minutes off the bench with Mitchell out.
Mitchell will start in his return from a two-game absence, which will push Isaac Okoro back to the bench. Hunter will return to the starting lineup in place of Evan Mobley, who is sidelined with a foot injury.
Mitchell missed Cleveland's last two games, but he will be back for their final game of the week, which is a rematch of their first round matchup from last season's playoffs. Mitchell's return will push Isaac Okoro back to the bench.
Mitchell was held out of Friday's win over the Grizzlies (his second straight missed game) while Mobley took on his usual role as a starter. Given Cleveland's lead atop the Eastern Conference, this may be when the team looks to rest key players in anticipation of the postseason. Isaac Okoro will remain in the starting lineup if Mitchell cannot play.
Due to Cleveland's 8.5 game lead over Boston in the standings, there is no reason for them to force Mitchell to play through any injury. He'll continue to heal up, and he could return to play against the Magic on Sunday. Isaac Okoro will likely continue to start in his place.
