3. Donovan Mitchell
The Cleveland Cavaliers were one of the hottest teams entering the All-Star Break. They went 18-2 over the last 20 games, and Donovan Mitchell is now averaging 28.4 points per game. Since the end of January, Mitchell has had games of 45, 25, 31, 29, 40, 27, 36, and 30 as the Cavaliers have vaulted up the Eastern Conference standings. No one in the East is catching the Boston Celtics, but the Cavaliers have emerged as one of the primary challengers. Rumors of Mitchell wanting out of Cleveland this offseason have emerged. Still, he is playing like a superstar and leading a team with lineup versatility and surprising pieces like Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro. Can Mitchell lead the Cavs to the number two seed in the East, and can they challenge Boston for a spot in the NBA Finals?
