Evan Mobley Out Again Versus The Pacers
1 year agoCleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) remains out on Monday against the Pacers. He's been out for a few weeks because of a sprained left ankle. That said, the Cavs currently hold the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference, with the Knicks in pursuit. However, Cleveland is hoping for a championship, so Mobley won't be rushed back, meaning he may not return for another week or two. Of course, Jarrett Allen will continue to do his best to handle business underneath the rim. But Georges Niang, averaging 13.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in seven starts this season, should continue to benefit from Mobley's absence. Niang has also shot 44.7% as a starter, which makes him an attractive category streaming option.

Evan Mobley Will Play On Tuesday, Barring A Setback
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (foot) will play on Tuesday versus the Clippers, barring a pregame setback. He wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Orlando Magic because of a foot injury. As a result, De'Andre Hunter entered the starting lineup, finishing with nine points and five boards. While Hunter will still see minutes from off the bench, he may have a tough time getting it done for fantasy managers with Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen on the floor.

Evan Mobley Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (foot) may sit out a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, as he has been listed as questionable on the injury report. The talented big man is trying to overcome a right foot contusion. If Mobley can't return on Tuesday, De'Andre Hunter will likely remain in the first unit. He had a bad time against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, notching only nine points on 2-for-11 shooting, but it has been a good campaign for Hunter. The former Atlanta Hawk is averaging a career-high 17.6 points, despite being a starter in only eight of his 51 appearances.

Evan Mobley Won't Face Orlando On Sunday
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (foot) won't play on Sunday against Orlando. He had 22 points, 11 rebounds, and two blocks in Friday's win over the Grizzlies. But he'll sit this one out because of a foot contusion. Donovan Mitchell (groin) is cleared to suit up after missing the last two games, so that will help lessen the blow. There should also be room for Ty Jerome and De'Andre Hunter to see more minutes and involvement.

Evan Mobley Taking The Night Off On Tuesday
4 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (rest) won't play on Tuesday against Chicago. Fortunately, he's not injured. But the 2021 No. 3 overall pick will take the night off to rest before likely returning for Wednesday's matchup with the Miami Heat. Without Mobley on the floor, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen should all see more scoring opportunities. The same could apply for De'Andre Hunter, who will likely enter the starting lineup. Ty Jerome, coming off a 25-point effort in Sunday's overtime win over Portland, should also remain more involved off the bench.
