James Harden

CLE Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

James Harden totaled 18 points (3-of-9 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer in the win over the Raptors on Sunday.

Harden did the bulk of his scoring at the charity stripe in Game 7, which helped offset some inefficient shooting during his 37 minutes. And with the shooting struggles also came a lack of playmaking — he finished with his lowest assist total of the series. Yet, there were positives. The former league MVP recorded fewer than four turnovers for the first time in the series and remained active with his hands on defense. Still, he’ll likely need to perform better in the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup against the top-seeded Pistons for the Cavaliers to advance.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell produced 22 points (9-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in the win over the Raptors on Sunday.

Mitchell wasn’t at his best on Sunday, but he did enough to be effective. He was one of Cleveland’s most impactful starters, and despite struggles from three-point range, he still tied for a team high in points. Without any stocks, a single assist, and just a few boards, Mitchell’s contributions mostly came as a scorer in Game 7; he’ll hope to land greater counting stats beginning in Game 1 against the Knicks.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen logged 22 points (7-of-11 FGs, 8-of-14 FTs), nineteen rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks in Sunday’s win over the Raptors.

Allen picked a fantastic time to log his best performance of the postseason. He dominated the offensive glass for putbacks and cleaned up the defensive boards, totaling nearly 20 rebounds. His interior dominance led to many trips to the charity stripe as well, as the Raptors couldn’t match Allen’s activity throughout the game, which is also reflected in the five stocks. Again, Allen was the star of the show on Sunday in Cleveland’s biggest game of the season. He’ll try to take Sunday’s momentum into Game 1 against the Pistons.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden produced 16 points (5-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Friday’s Game 6 loss to the Raptors.

Harden’s four turnovers in Game 6 matched his series-low, as efficiency remains an issue for the Cavaliers’ point guard. He struggled with his shot on Friday, going 1-of-4 from beyond the arc after entering Game 6 making 41 percent of his attempts. While Harden did finish one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double, the Cavaliers need more from him if they’re to avoid a first-round exit. Game 7 is on Sunday.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley recorded 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday’s Game 6 loss to the Raptors.

Mobley recorded series-highs in points and rebounds in Game 6, finishing with his first double-double of the series. However, it wasn’t enough to give Cleveland the win that would have ended the series. One thing that Mobley and the Cavaliers can take solace in is that the road team has yet to win a game, and the Cavaliers will host Game 7 on Sunday. He’ll need to produce a similar performance to get Cleveland into the second round, especially if James Harden continues to struggle.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell amassed 24 points (11-of-26 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s Game 6 loss to the Raptors.

After making 39 percent of his three-point attempts in the first five games of this series, Mitchell shot 2-of-10 in Game 6. While that wasn’t the only reason for the Cavaliers’ inability to close out the series, his struggles did not help matters. For Cleveland to avoid becoming the first team in this series to lose a home game on Sunday, they’ll need a more efficient offensive performance from their All-Star backcourt. Mitchell and James Harden shot a combined 16-of-40 from the field in Game 6.
Dennis Schröder

CLE Guard #8

Dennis Schröder finished Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Raptors with 19 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two assists and three three-pointers.

Schröder and Evan Mobley came up big for the Cavaliers in the second half of Game 5, combining to score 29 of the team’s 58 points. The veteran guard came off the bench and shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, with the Cavaliers going 18-of-36 as a team. Game 5 was Schröder’s best outing of the series, as he totaled 18 points in the first four games. A similar effort in Game 6 on Friday would be of great use to the Cavaliers, who need one more win to seal the series.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden accounted for 23 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Raptors.

Harden has committed at least four turnovers in each game of this series, including six in Game 5. However, while he was inefficient as a playmaker, the Cavaliers’ guard finished the 125-120 victory with solid percentages from the field and the foul line. And with three other Cavaliers scoring at least 19 points, there was ample help to compensate for Harden’s turnover issues. He’ll need to clean that up some if the Cavaliers are to end the series on Friday in Toronto.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley amassed 23 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Raptors.

Mobley was outstanding after halftime, scoring 16 of his 23 points to help the Cavaliers take a 3-2 series lead. The versatile forward, who did not miss from beyond the arc, finished with a complete stat line, with a 4-of-8 night at the foul line being the lone concern. However, the Cavaliers will need Mobley to be much better on the road when the series shifts to Toronto for Game 6 than he was in Games 3 and 4. In those defeats, Mobley totaled 23 points on 8-of-24 shooting from the field.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell recorded 19 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Raptors.

The home team has yet to lose a game in this series, with the Cavaliers limiting Toronto to 17 fourth-quarter points to take a 3-2 lead. Mitchell didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, making just four of his 12 two-point attempts, but a 3-of-5 night from beyond the arc gave the overall percentage a welcome boost. After scoring 30 points or more in the first two games of this series, Mitchell has been held to 20 or fewer in three straight. He’ll look to turn that around in Game 6 on Friday, with a win advancing the Cavaliers to the second round.
