Mitchell is in his first season with the Cavs, and has been averaging an outstanding 27.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals per contest in 56 games. 

The former Louisville star is also shooting a tremendous 47.8% from the field and 38.6% from the three-point range.   

Before the Cavs, he spent the first five seasons of his career with the Utah Jazz and never missed the NBA Playoffs.  

Right now, the Cavs are the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 41-26 record in 67 games. 

They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and are 6-4 in their last ten games.

At home, the Cavs have been unbelievable, going 28-7 in 35 games hosted in Ohio. 

The franchise hasn't been to the playoffs since the 2018 season when they still had LeBron James, but the drought will likely come to an end in 2023.
