Mozgov put up 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-1 FT) and 15 rebounds in the win over the Bulls on Monday. He added two blocks in 33 minutes.

Mozgov bounced back from a quiet game (12 points, three boards) in the win over the Clippers on Friday. His 14 shots - a few off his five offensive boards - were his most since he became a Cavalier, and he may get more offensive opportunities going forward.

Mozgov moved into the starting lineup Sunday in his second game with the Cavaliers. He put up 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, and two blocks in 33 minutes.

Mozgov looks poised to see his fantasy value take a significant jump. Coach David Blatt and Mozgov know each other from the Russian national team, and Blatt has used his key players for significant minutes this season. LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love all average at least 36 mintues per game this season. After giving up two first-round picks for Mozgov, it'd be surprising if the team didn't plan to use him in a significant role. As a result, Tristan Thompson should be reduced to a more approriate role as an energy player off the bench.

Mozgov is expected to start Sunday, The News-Herald reports.

In Mozgov's first game with the Cavs he came off the bench, but it was always assumed he would crack the starting lineup sooner rather than later. In his first game with Cleveland, Mozgov scored nine points with eight rebounds, and should improve on those numbers as long as he does get into the starting lineup.

Mozgov came off the bench in his first game with the Cavaliers, scoring nine points (3-7 FG, 3-5 FT) and picking up eight rebounds, an assist and one block.

At some point, Mozgov will presumably move into a starting role given the Cavaliers' lack of depth in the frontcourt. If or when he does, Mozgov could be a nice fantasy option. In 35 games with the Nuggets, Mozgov averaged 25.6 minutes per game, 8.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Mozgov passed his physical and is considered probable to play against the Warriors on Friday, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Mozgov is also the favorite to start over Tristan Thompson on Friday. Unless something goes array before tipoff, the newly-acquired Mozgov will start at center to give the Cavaliers some much needed protection around the rim.

Mozgov still hasn't passed his physical and is in danger of not making his Cleveland debut against the Warriors on Friday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Mozgov was in line to make his Cleveland debut by starting at center Friday, although that is in serious danger as there are still some clerical hoops to jump through before he's cleared to play for his new team. Coach David Blatt was not optimistic about Mozgov getting cleared in time, so Tristan Thompson may stay in the starting lineup for the time being.

Updating a previous report, Mozgov is expected to start Friday against the Warriors, Sam Amico of FOX Sports reports.

Preparations for Mozgov to join the team out west had already been underway, and it appears those have gone as planned. He'll start at center, and will likely take major minutes away from Tristan Thompson down low.

Mozgov could join the Cavaliers in advance of Friday's matchup against the Warriors, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Mozgov, who's acquisition was formally announced by the Cavs on Wednesday, is currently having arrangements made which could allow him to join his new team in San Francisco. Even if everything falls correctly into place, however, it's unlikely he plays a major role in that contest, as he has yet to log significant practice time with his new teammates. A return to the court the following Sunday in Sacramento seems more probable, but the Cavs are at least attempting to push the pace and get their new big man on the court sooner rather than later.

The Nuggets have agreed in principle to trade Mozgov to the Cavaliers for two future first-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

The move completes the Cavaliers' recent mini-overhaul after the team acquired J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the Knicks on Monday and sent Dion Waiters to Oklahoma City. Mozgov figures to step in and immediately fill a major void as a rim protector and rebounder for a team in desperate need of a physical big man after losing Anderson Varejao (ankle) for the season. Mozgov is averaging 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game this season and could see his minutes load increase slightly as he splits time with Tristan Thompson. Denver, meanwhile, returns two first-round picks belonging to Memphis and Oklahoma City, respectively. The Memphis pick is protected 1-5 and 15-30 in 2015 and 2016, 1-5 in 2017 and 2018 and unprotected in 2019. The Oklahoma City pick is only protected 1-18 in 2015 and 1-15 in 2016 and 2017. If the pick has not been conveyed by 2017, Denver will receive Oklahoma City's second-round picks in 2018 and 2019.

Mozgov was forced to leave Monday's game with a cut that required four stitches, the AP reports. He returned to the game and finished with two points(1-4 FG), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 15 minutes.

Mozgov was bloodied up pretty bad but returned to action and is not expected to miss any time going forward. The fact that this game was a blowout may have also contributed to his low minutes played. Through 28 games this season, Mozgov is averaging 9.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 26 minutes.

Mozgov scored just six points (3-4 FG) but added 15 rebounds and a season-high five blocks in 36 minutes Saturday, the most minutes he'd played since December 8th.

While Mozgov is locked in as the starter in Denver, his minutes have been low due to foul trouble and coach Brian Shaw's inconsistent rotations. He's still averaging 8.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in 26 minutes and should be rostered in most leagues, but if he were to be unleashed for 30 minutes a night, could become a fantasy force.

Mozgov went scoreless Saturday, missing his only field goal attempt and added just four rebounds and a single assist in 14 minutes.

Mozgov's numbers were well down, mainly due to foul trouble, as the big man racked up five fouls in his limited court time. Prior to Saturday, Mozgov had pulled down double-digit rebounds and despite coach Brian Shaw's inconsistent rotations, should be a nice source of boards and blocks for the duration of the season.

Mozgov scored nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT) and added 10 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes of action.

This is three solid games in a row for Mozgov as he continues to cement himself in the middle for the Nuggets. Mozgov is currently owned in less than 36 percent of ESPN leagues, but if he continues to play this well his ownership will surely increase.

Mozgov scored 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-1 FT) with 12 rebounds and a block in 49 minutes during Monday's OT loss to the Raptors.

He's now posted double-doubles in back-to-back games, and Mozgov is clearly solidifying his hold on the Nuggets' starting center job.

Mozgov was a solid contributor on Sunday, as he held down the interior defense for his team. He finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in 33 minutes.

Mozgov has been a bigger contributor since handling bigger minutes for his team, although he is coming off of two underwhelming performances. He also got into some foul trouble this game, which has been a problem for him throughout the season. If he is able to stay out of foul trouble, and continues to handle around 30 minutes, nights like this could be the norm for the big man.

Mozgov scored 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), with 13 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes during the Nuggets loss to the Suns.

Mozgov is averaging 14 points, 11 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30 minutes over his past three games, and should be owned in the majority of leagues.

Mozgov scored 13 points on Sunday (5-9FG, 3-4 FT) to go along with 13 rebounds.

Mozgov has shown his value as an underrated big man. His rebound totals are right where owners would like a center's rebounding numbers to be, and with Javale McGee out, this could mean even more minutes for Mozgov.

Mozgov started and played 26 minutes Friday but only managed to contribute five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and three blocks against the Pelicans.

Mozgov is currently the starting center for Denver, although his production is stymied because he's in a time share with JaVale McGee, J.J. Hickson, and Jusuf Nurkic. Out of all these options Mozgov is still the most productive, although his efforts are best suited for deeper leagues.

Mozgov is averaging just 17.5 minutes on the court but has started all four of Denver's games at center.

Despite being Denver's starting center, Mozgov is in a time share with both Jusuf Nurkic and JaVale McGee. All three of these centers are splitting up the frontcourt minutes pretty evenly which curbs all of their viability in standard leagues. Unless Mozgov pulls away from his fellow centers, it's hard to justify his ownership in anything but the deepest of leagues.

Mozgov will compete with JaVale McGee for the starting center spot, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.

The Nuggets experimented with a number of different lineups last season after McGee went down with a stress fracture in his left tibia. Mozgov made 30 starts at center, while J.J. Hickson started 52 games at both center and power forward. All three players are healthy heading into camp, but coach Brian Shaw indicated that Mozgov and McGee are the primary contenders for the starting gig, and both offer vastly different skill sets. Mozgov is the better offensive threat, whereas McGee is a difference-maker as a shot blocker, when healthy. It's anyone's guess who has the leg up at this point, and the battle will likely wage throughout the preseason.
