Last season, Cleveland’s second-best pairing was Donovan Mitchell playing with Jarrett Allen. You could cite a whole bunch of advanced data points to back this up, but all you need to know is then-coach J.B. Bickerstaff played these two together more than any other Cavs combo. But when Kenny Atkinson took over as coach going into this season, one of the first things he did was break them up. Early in the season, the Cavs’ most-used duo is Mitchell and Evan Mobley. This change has nothing to do with Allen, team sources said, and everything to do with Mobley.
