The Phoenix Suns are all set to host Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, March 21 at the Footprint Center. All eyes would be on whether star player Donovan Mitchell starts against the Suns or not.
Will Donovan Mitchell start against Phoenix Suns?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are first in the Eastern Conference and have a record of 56-13. They are going up against tenth placed Suns in the Western Conference with a record of 33-37. Donovan Mitchell's name is not listed on the team's injury report that means he will start against the Suns. Mitchell leads the Cavaliers with 24.1 points per game (17th in the NBA). He has been the shining light for the Cavaliers.
Mitchell has been averaging 26.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He ranks sixth in the league in terms of three-pointers per game. His presence gives huge boost to the Cavaliers who has the league's top offense as they average 122.4 points per game.
The Phoenix Suns have three players listed on the injury report. Grayson Allen is questionable as he is suffering from a foot injury. Mason Plumlee (quadricep) and Bradley Beal (hamstring) are ruled out. Phoenix are ranked 20th in the league in terms of defense and will rely heavily on Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to lead the charge against Cavaliers.
Not only Mitchell, but Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen have been key players for the Cavaliers. Mobley averages 18.1 points, 8.6 rebounds over the last 20 games, while Allen is ranked 10th in the NBA with 10.1 rebounds per game. The Cavaliers also lead the league in three-point shooting, converting 38.7% of their attempts. Mitchell has been the most clean shooter from beyond the arc.
The Phoenix Suns will heavily rely on Booker, who averages 25.9 points per game (ninth in the league), and Durant contributes with 22.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Their depth will be tested as Beal and Plumlee are sidelined for the game.
