The Mavericks have won seven of the past eight meetings against Cleveland. They will face the Cavs twice in the next four days, as Dallas hosts Portland on Friday before starting a four-game road trip Saturday in Cleveland.
Mitchell is averaging 29 points on 49.6 percent shooting, with 41.9 percent from 3-point range -- all career bests.
Cleveland's league-leading defense is allowing 105.1 points per game with small forward Lamar Stevens a key part of the effort. The third-year pro is averaging 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.
The Cavaliers are 5-9 on the road compared to 12-2 at home.
Mavericks reserve guard Josh Green has missed the past two games with a sprained right elbow and is listed as day-to-day.
@"KillerLeft" prediction: Green comes back to support THJ as he scores a career high 63 (21 3's) en route to a Mavs victory (147-32).
