Mobley among 10 early-season disappointments

Rotoworld Player News

Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Evan Mobley (illness) is now questionable for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Mobley popped up as questionable with an illness Friday afternoon ahead of the Cavaliers’ matchup against the Spurs. The 24-year-old center’s status for the game is certainly up in the air. With Jarrett Allen (finger) already ruled out, the Cavaliers could end up relying on Dean Wade and Nae’Qwan Tomlin in the frontcourt.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (personal) is out for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Proctor will not be available for Friday’s game, but his absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball. With Lonzo Ball available, the rookie wing picked up a DNP-CD in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland (toe) is out for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Garland’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Lonzo Ball could fill since he’s available. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when given this role, but the fantasy ceiling is limited.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson notched 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Tyson’s final stat line wasn’t eye-popping, but he continues to hold down a place in the starting lineup. With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for at least another week, the second-year wing should be considered in a broader range of fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Tyson has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Yet he’s still rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley finished Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, five blocks and three three-pointers.

With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, there’s more room for Mobley to operate on both ends of the floor. Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s game, Mobley recorded the kind of stat line that fantasy managers hope to see consistently. His five blocked shots were a season-high, and the Cavaliers’ forward/center has provided top-20 fantasy value over the past two weeks. Mobley will look to continue this run on Friday when the Spurs visit.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell amassed 33 points (12-of-26 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Mitchell has scored at least 30 points in 13 games this season, including three of his last four. The Cavaliers guard once again did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Darius Garland (6/3/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) shot 2-of-13 from the field. Mitchell had a tough night from deep, shooting 3-of-13 on three-pointers, but the two-point production salvaged the overall field-goal percentage. Cleveland hosts San Antonio on Friday.
Lonzo Ball

CLE Guard #2

Lonzo Ball (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Ball is back after a two-game absence, and he’ll provide additional depth on the perimeter behind starting Darius Garland. With Garland available, Ball is in a spot where he offers limited fantasy value.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill (hand) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

This will be an eighth straight absence for Merrill, and there hasn’t been much clarity as to how much longer he’ll be out. Jaylon Tyson will continue to play a large role, even if he is pushed to the bench with Darius Garland back. Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor will also continue to see added minutes off the bench, though neither will play enough to be worth streaming.
Lonzo Ball

CLE Guard #2

Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Ball has missed Cleveland’s last two games, freeing up additional minutes for Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor. However, they also benefitted from the absence of Darius Garland on Monday, so even fewer minutes will be available to Porter and Proctor if Ball plays.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland (toe) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Garland did not play in Monday’s win over the Pacers, which moved Dean Wade into the starting lineup. Wade should head back to the bench, with Jaylon Tyson continuing to start. The second-year wing has played well this season, most recently scoring 27 points on Monday.
