Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Evan Mobley (calf) accounted for 10 points (5-of-9 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Thursday’s win over the Nets.

Mobley was back on the court for the first time since January 26. The combination of his restriction and the blowout limited him to 19 minutes, which was good news for the Cavaliers. Jaylon Tyson moved to the bench, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 23 minutes. Given the time off, fantasy managers should consider Mobley questionable for Friday’s game in Charlotte. If he sits, Tyson may return to the starting lineup.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen amassed 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in Thursday’s win over the Nets.

For the first time since the Cavaliers acquired James Harden, both of their talented post players were in the starting lineup. The good news for Allen managers is that Evan Mobley’s return didn’t keep the center from recording a double-double with three “stocks.” The sample size is just one game against an overmatched opponent, but it bodes well for those hoping to get consistent value from Allen in the fantasy playoffs.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden tallied 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Nets.

Harden played 28 minutes on Thursday, the most of any Cavaliers’ starter in the 112-84 victory. The good news for fantasy managers is that he was still productive in those minutes, shooting 75 percent from the field and producing quality numbers in the assist and steal categories. Dennis Schröder played 20 minutes off the bench, finishing with 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell finished Thursday’s win over the Nets with 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers.

Mitchell and the Cavaliers jumped out to a huge lead and never looked back, affecting the playing time of the team’s starters. Mitchell logged 21 minutes, with James Harden being the only starter to surpass 25. While fantasy managers may be disappointed by the lack of playing time, that should not be an issue for Friday’s game against the Hornets.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade will start against the Nets on Thursday.

Mobley will return from a calf injury to log his first minutes alongside the newly-acquired James Harden. Jarrett Allen has thrived in Harden’s three games since arriving via trade, so it’ll be interesting to see if Mobley’s return changes things. Regardless, the Cavs will look to secure a sixth-straight win on Thursday.
Dean Wade

CLE Forward-Center #32

Dean Wade (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Nets.

Wade is back after missing Cleveland’s final three games before the All-Star break. However, his return coincides with that of Evan Mobley (calf), so there may not be enough minutes available for Wade to affect fantasy basketball. Fantasy managers can afford to leave Wade on the waiver wire.
Nae'Qwan Tomlin

CLE Forward #35

Nae’Qwan Tomlin (calf) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nets.

Tomlin’s absence is due to a sore left calf. With Evan Mobley returning from a strained calf, Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill may not lose out on playing time in the reigning Defensive Player of the Year’s return.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley (calf) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Nets.

Mobley is good to make his first appearance since straining his calf during a January 26 win over the Magic. While he isn’t guaranteed to start immediately due to a potential minutes restriction, Mobley’s return likely means Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill will lose some playing time.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill accumulated 32 points (11-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and nine three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards.

Merrill put on a shooting clinic in the first half of Wednesday’s game, with the 26 points being the most he’s scored in a half in his NBA career. The sharpshooter knocked down two more triples in the second half, finishing with new highs in points (32) and three-pointers (nine). With Evan Mobley (calf) expected back after the All-Star break, Merrill or Jaylon Tyson (7/5/1/1) will be asked to come off the bench. For Merrill, he’s still capable of offering reliable fantasy value to those needing three-point production.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden amassed 13 points (1-of-4 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), four rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards.

Playing in front of the Cavaliers faithful as a member of the team for the first time, Harden took a back seat as a scorer on Wednesday. He focused more on setting up his teammates, leading to 11 assists. Through three games in Cleveland, The Beard has accumulated 26 assists. He was responsible for six turnovers, but Harden totaled five in his first two appearances. The Cavaliers complete Week 17 with three games after the All-Star break.
