Donovan Mitchell is entering his third season with the Cleveland Cavaliers after being traded from the Utah Jazz before the 2022-23 season. Mitchell has been a superstar guard in this league for the last five seasons as he’s been a guy that can light up the scoreboard on any given night. Mitchell is trying to be the new face of the Cavaliers and has done a good job of it so far in the tenure. Here’s a look at his 2023-24 production.
Donovan Mitchell 2023-24 Production
Donovan Mitchell averaged 26.6 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, 6.1 assists per game, and 1.8 steals per game in the 2023-24 season. “Spida” had a slight dip in points per game from his 2022-23 season last year but he did have a few 40-point games including 2 45 point games in February. Mitchell was an all-star again for the Cavaliers but didn’t get any other awards because he only played 55 games last season.
Mitchell when healthy last season was one of the dominant players in fantasy, especially in February as previously stated. Mitchell should rebound in the 2024-25 season with the scoring especially if he and Darius Garland stay healthy. Let’s take a look at the projections for “Spida” Mitchell.
Donovan Mitchell 2024-25 Projections
ESPN has Donovan Mitchell currently as the 8th-rated player on their rotisserie-scoring NBA fantasy metric. Here’s ESPN’s stat line projection for Mitchell: 27.5 points per game, 4.9 rebounds per game, 5.7 assists per game, and 1.7 steals per game. Mitchell’s anticipation and good defensive traits make him one of the best steal guys in the league, which greatly helps with Fantasy, especially in the rotisserie system.
Mitchell should meet those projections because he’s the number one option for the Cavs, but health is the key. Donovan Mitchell will have the ability to be in the MVP conversation if the Cavaliers’ young core takes that next leap that they need to have to be true contenders in the wide-open Eastern Conference.
Final Thoughts
Donovan Mitchell is a top-ten pick in the redraft leagues this season and will flourish in DFS as well. Mitchell will have a bunch of 40-point games this season for the Cavaliers, with the potential to get to the 50 or 60-point mark at least once. He also has the potential to hit the 70 mark as he did in his first Cleveland Cavaliers season. Mitchell will also make huge impact plays on the defensive end of the floor as well which will help his fantasy production throughout the year.
“Spida” is one of those players that will make your lineups work every time he plays, especially with his ability to score at all three levels. If he can somehow get his assist numbers to be a little more than 6 a game this season, he’s a dark horse to finish in the top-5 of all of fantasy this upcoming season.
