Mitchell provided a season-low eight points (3-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 loss to the Thunder.

Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the most dominant teams in the NBA this season, owning a six-game lead in the Eastern Conference over the Boston Celtics.

Mitchell has taken on a slightly different role this season, willingly taking a step back to purposely elevate and empower his younger teammates — Darius Garland and Evan Mobley.

Here are three compelling storylines for the highly anticipated rematch. Cleveland's bonified superstar is undoubtedly Donovan Mitchell. Unfortunately, he had his worst game of the year in the Cavalier's first matchup with the Thunder.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, leading the NBA with a 34-6 record, are interested in trading for Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson to boost their championship bid. Johnson is having a career-best season, making him a sought-after player.

Recent reports indicate that the Cleveland Cavaliers are targeting an NBA star to improve their starting five ahead of the trade deadline.

The Cavaliers are coming off a 20-point loss at Oklahoma City on Thursday that left the teams tied for the best record in the NBA at 34-6. Cleveland trailed by as many as 42 points in the game and G Donovan Mitchell had a season-low eight points.

The Cavs have the best offense in the NBA, but Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell struggle against bigger, more physical players.
