Cleveland Cavaliers Top Performers:
Donovan Mitchell 27 PTS | 6 AST | 2 STL | 46.8 FPS
Mitchell’s scoring has slipped recently, reaching 20+ points in just 4 of his last 8 games. But he has ramped up his assists and steals.
Dean Wade 15 PTS | 5 REB | 2 STL | 30.0 FPS
Wade went 4-for-5 from three today, a huge improvement after a cold December where he shot 6-for-31.
Darius Garland 16 PTS | 4 REB | 5 AST | 28.3 FPS
Garland has been underperforming lately. He’s hitting just 18-of-48 from three, his assists are down and he’s turning the ball over too much.
Ty Jerome 13 PTS | 4 AST | 2 STL | 27.8 FPS
Jerome’s minutes and usage have dropped in December, but he produces solid assists and steals when given a chance.
Evan Mobley 15 PTS | 7 REB | 4 AST | 27.4 FPS

Giannis Antetokounmpo 33 PTS | 14 REB | 3 STL | 58.3 FPS

Lopez is hitting 2 threes and posting 2 blocks in his last two games.
