Rotoworld Player News

Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Evan Mobley had 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in Sunday’s win over the Nets.

Mobley played 37 minutes in Friday’s overtime loss to the Pistons, which was the most he’s played since injuring his calf. The 24-year-old center only played 27 minutes on Sunday, but was excellent with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Mobley should have more responsibility in the offense as long as Donovan Mitchell is still sidelined.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden had 22 points (5-of-9 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in the Cavaliers’ 106-102 victory over the Nets on Sunday.

Harden returned after missing two games with a fractured right thumb and led the Cavaliers to victory without Donovan Mitchell on Sunday. The 36-year-old point guard had five turnovers, but overall was effective in his 36 minutes. The Cavaliers have just two games in the upcoming week, which could benefit Harden as he continues to play through the injury.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start Sunday’s game against the Nets.

After missing two games with a fractured right thumb, Harden is available and back in the starting lineup. Dennis Schröder returns to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a hit. Donovan Mitchell and Dean Wade remain out due to injury, so Merrill and Tyson remain in the starting lineup.
Keon Ellis

CLE Guard #14

Keon Ellis (finger) is available for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Ellis is back after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Pistons, which will give the Cavaliers additional depth off the bench. With James Harden also available, Tyrese Proctor is likely to lose out on playing time.
Dean Wade

CLE Forward-Center #32

Dean Wade (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Wade will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. Jaylon Tyson will remain in the starting lineup and is a suitable option for category league managers if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell (groin) is out for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Sunday’s game will be the third that Mitchell has missed with a strained groin. Sam Merrill will continue to fill the void in the starting lineup, and he’s a capable option for managers needing three-point production.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden (thumb) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Harden has missed Cleveland’s last two games with a fractured right thumb, despite his declaration that he was going to play through the injury. Dennis Schröder has been the replacement in the starting lineup, with Craig Porter Jr. serving as the backup and Tyrese Proctor picking up a few minutes off the bench.
Keon Ellis

CLE Guard #14

Keon Ellis (finger) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Ellis did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, with Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor picking up additional minutes off the bench. Whether either of those players would be worth the streaming risk also depends on the availability of James Harden, who is questionable with a fractured right thumb.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson amassed 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Pistons.

Tyson had a solid night in Detroit, but the ending was brutal for the second-year wing. Attempting to give a foul before the Pistons could get up a potential game-tying three, Tyson was ruled to have fouled Detroit’s Daniss Jenkins in the act of shooting with 4.7 seconds remaining in regulation. Jenkins made all three free throws, and the Pistons would go on to win in overtime. Ending aside, Tyson continues to make strides for the Cavaliers. While his short-term fantasy value took a hit after the James Harden trade and Evan Mobley’s return from a calf injury, dynasty league managers should be excited about Tyson’s long-term potential.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill accounted for 20 points (6-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Pistons.

Merrill was one of three Cavaliers to score at least 20 points on Friday, the second time in four games that he’s reached that number. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he remains a player who’s most valuable to fantasy managers seeking three-point production. Merrill’s line on Friday included three assists and two steals, but the four triples were the production that most expect to get from him.
