Mitchell was just one assist shy of a triple-double. It was his first double-digit rebounding performance of the season as he finished with 13 boards. Mitchell had 23 points on 21 shots getting there on volume. He was 5-of-13 from behind the 3-point line and didn’t attempt a free throw. Mitchell was +13 in 34 minutes in the eight-point victory. The Cavaliers take on the Bulls in their next game Friday before a matchup with the Hornets on Sunday.

As expected, Yabusele will be good to go despite dealing with some swelling in his right knee. He’ll continue to start at center for them with both Andre Drummond (toe) and Joel Embiid (knee) still sidelined.

Hachimura will return to the starting lineup in his first game back after a two-game absence. That will push Dorian Finney-Smith back to the bench, which makes sense, since he is still ramping up his minutes.

About 15 minutes after being added to the injury report as questionable, Risacher has officially been ruled out for this game. It shouldn’t be surprising, since he made his return from a six-game absence less than 24 hours before this. Vit Krejci will likely continue to start.

Adams is a late addition to the injury report, and he will be sidelined due to soreness in his left ankle, which is the same ankle that he dealt with an injury in last month. Jock Landale will fill the backup center minutes, but he won’t play enough to be worth streaming.
