Will Donovan Mitchell be named a starter in All-Star game?

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The NBA All-Star game starters will be announced tonight (7 p.m. on TNT) and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell appears to have a good chance of being named.

Mitchell was 2nd in voting among Eastern Conference guards in last week’s final fan vote.

Fans account for 50% of the vote to determine the starters, while current NBA players and a media panel account for 25% each.

Mitchell is 9th in the NBA in scoring, averaging 28 points per game in his first season with the Cavs.
