    • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half
      Donovan Mitchell struggled in the second half but still finished with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), one rebound, six assists, three steals, one triple and six turnovers against Orlando in Game 4 on Saturday.

      Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland. Mitchell will have to shake off this second half and get back on track to get back in the win column. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
       
    • Goes cold in Game 3 loss
      Mitchell registered 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 27 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Mitchell had scored a combined 53 points during the first two games of the series, but he was unable to keep that momentum going in Game 3. However, no Cleveland player scored more than 15 points, and Mitchell didn't see the court during most of the second half. The star guard will aim to bounce back in Game 4 of the series Saturday.

    • Donovan Mitchell limited to 13 points on Thursday
      Donovan Mitchell shot 6-of-16 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the Magic, accounting for 13 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes.

      Advice: Dominant in the first two games of the series, Mitchell was held in check in Game 3. While he did lead the Cavaliers in assists, only Caris LeVert (15/2/3/0/1 with one 3-pointer) had a worse plus/minus than Spida, who finished at a minus-25. Mitchell largely carried Cleveland’s backcourt in the first two games, but his off night was problematic, with Darius Garland continuing to struggle. Garland shot 2-of-9 from the field in Game 3, finishing with five points, three rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer. Game 4 is on Saturday, with Cleveland holding a 2-1 lead.

    • Darius Garland finishes Game 2 with 15 points
      Darius Garland amassed 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 32 minutes in Monday’s win over the Magic.

      Advice: After appearing to tweak his lower back during Game 1, Garland was not on the injury report ahead of Game 2. The more significant issue for the Cavaliers’ point guard on Monday was foul trouble, which cut into his usual time on the court. Garland still led Cleveland with four 3-pointers, providing needed spacing on a night when the other four starters combined go 4-of-19 from beyond the arc. The series now shifts to Orlando, with Game 3 scheduled for Thursday night. Rotoworld Monday, 7:01 pm
       
    • Leads from deep in Game 2 win
      Garland posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Garland had a strong showing from deep in Cleveland's second straight victory to begin the series, connecting on a team-high mark from three while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and ending as one of four Cavaliers with 15 or more points. Garland has provided a nice boost for Cleveland through two games in the first round, posting at least 14 points, four assists and three rebounds in two straight outings.

    • Top scorer in Game 2 victory
      Mitchell tallied 23 points (9-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Mitchell once again led Cleveland offensively in another victory in the opening-round series, finishing with a game-high scoring total while handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists and ending two boards shy of a double-double. The Cavaliers will continue to ride Mitchell's offensive firepower in the postseason, with Mitchell posting at least 23 points in both games of the first round thus far.

    • Donovan Mitchell scores game-high 23 in Game 2 win
      Donovan Mitchell shot 9-of-22 from the field and 3-of-5 from the foul line in Monday’s 96-86 win over Orlando, scoring 23 points with eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: Mitchell’s overall field-goal percentage wasn’t good in Game 2, as Orlando had some success when it managed to keep him from getting the basket. Spida shot 2-of-10 from beyond the arc, but a 7-of-12 night from two made up for that deficiency. Orlando’s issue in Cleveland wasn’t defending so much as the team’s lack of consistent perimeter shooters. Mitchell and the Cavaliers will face a stiffer challenge in Game 3 when the series moves to Orlando, but this appears to be a bad matchup for the Magic. Rotoworld Monday, 6:43 pm
       
    • Leads Cavs to Game 1 victory
      Mitchell posted 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The Cavaliers delivered a strong showing on both ends of the court Saturday and had several standout performers, but Mitchell made his presence felt in the scoring column with a game-high 30 points. Mitchell also surpassed the 30-point mark in his last regular-season appearance, and he'll aim to deliver another strong performance in Game 2 of the series Monday. After all, the Cavaliers will only go as far as Mitchell can carry them. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Darius Garland (back) dishes out eight assists
      Darius Garland (lower back contusion) finished Saturday’s win over Orlando with 14 points (6-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Garland experienced an injury scare early in the third quarter of Saturday’s series opener, as he needed to exit to receive treatment on his lower back. He sat out Sunday’s regular-season finale with a lower back contusion, which is why there could be some concern in Cleveland. The good news is that he returned to the game a little over two minutes later and did not experience further issues with the back. Game 2 is on Monday, and Caris LeVert would be of added importance to the Cavaliers if Garland’s back flares up before then. LeVert, who replaced DG early in the third quarter, played 20 minutes on Saturday, finishing with five points, four rebounds, and two assists. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:29 pm
