Donovan Mitchell ($8,700) missed Tuesday’s game due to a groin injury. He’s out for Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

With the Cavaliers currently with the best record in the NBA at 55-10, and 8.5 games ahead of the Boston Celtics for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, they can afford to be cautious with their stars.
With Mitchell off the court this season, Darius Garland ($7,700) has seen a 4.2% usage rate bump, Ty Jerome ($4,800) has a team-high 5.25% increase, while Evan Mobley ($8,600) is at 3.86%.
On Tuesday, Garland put up 55 FPTS, Jerome only played 18 minutes and finished with 14.25 FPTS while Mobley ended with 41.75 FPTS.
