Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley had a big game in Thursday's win over the Celtics. The 22-year-old has struggled offensively during the postseason. However, he finished with 21 points in Game 2, a postseason career-high, to help the Cavs knot the series at one game each. With Jarrett Allen (rib) out of the lineup, Mobley continues to do all he can to keep things secure underneath the basket. Although he isn't a consistent scorer, he'll at least routinely accumulate blocks and rebounds for DFS managers for the remainder of the playoffs.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley played much better on Sunday in the postseason win over Orlando. Mobley had trouble offensively in Game 6, finishing with three points. However, he turned things around in Game 7 to help his team advance to the semi-finals, amassing an 11-point, 16-rebound double-double. Mobley wasn't as impactful on the scoring end during the seven-game series versus the Magic. But he shined on the defensive end, amassing 23 blocks. The Cavs will take Monday off before starting the series with the Celtics on Tuesday night. Mobley met Boston just once during the regular season, only scoring four points. While he should play better, the entire roster could struggle throughout the series.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley struggled in Friday's loss to Orlando. The 2021 No. 3 overall pick had a stellar night on Tuesday, so expectations were high entering this one. Unfortunately, he couldn't get anything going offensively, ending the contest with just three points off 1-for-5 shooting from the field. Mobley at least had seven rebounds and five blocks. But it was still a subpar effort from the 22-year-old, who had added responsibility due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (rib). At any rate, Mobley has had a double-double in two of his three appearances on his home court during this series, meaning he has an excellent chance to turn things around on Sunday afternoon for Game 7.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley was the hero of the night in Tuesday's 104-103 Game 5 win over Orlando. With mere seconds left in regulation, Mobley blocked Franz Wagner's layup to complete a good all-around performance. The USC product posted a 14-point, 13-rebound double-double and had four assists, two steals, and two blocks with 7-for-11 shooting. The Cavaliers needed every bit of Mobley's contributions after seeing Jarrett Allen (ribs) ruled out for the contest. He's set to have a huge role again in Game 6 on Friday if Allen can't return. Marcus Morris Sr. helped out on the frontcourt with 12 points and three rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) will play on Sunday evening versus the Miami Heat. Mobley appeared to be heading in the right direction. However, he'll finally return from his nine-game layoff caused by a sprained ankle. The 22-year-old may see fewer minutes than usual in his first game back. Yet, his presence could negatively impact the fantasy potential of Georges Niang, who's averaged 13.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10 starts this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) remains questionable for Sunday night's game versus Miami. Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer posted a video on Sunday afternoon showing Mobley dribbling and attacking the basket, so it appears he has a strong chance to return for this one after missing the last nine games because of an ankle injury. It's logical to assume the 22-year-old could be limited in his first game back from a lengthy layoff. However, Mobley's presence, assuming he gets the green light, should still lower the fantasy ceiling of Georges Niang, who has averaged 13.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10 starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) will miss his eighth consecutive game on Wednesday night versus Miami. He continues to battle a sprained left ankle, although it was recently reported that he's no longer wearing a boot. However, the 22-year-old is still not expected to return until re-evaluated and cleared. Georges Niang has become a strong fantasy option, replacing Mobley in the starting lineup, with averages of 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.7 made three-pointers in that time. More injury woes with Dean Wade and Max Strus make Isaac Okoro and Marcus Morris Sr. valuable fantasy assets on Cleveland's limited roster.

Cleveland 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.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) is "likely to miss extended time." He sprained his left ankle while finishing a dunk during Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics and was ruled out shortly after. The 22-year-old has been reliable for fantasy managers when available, averaging 15.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. However, he's suffered various injuries this season, including sitting out over a month because of a knee issue. Although Mobley could be back sometime in the next few weeks, it may not be soon enough for fantasy managers, considering most leagues are in the playoffs. But until he returns, Georges Niang and Dean Wade will likely handle most of the void left at the four spot.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) is set to miss at least one week of action. Mobley was forced to exit early on Tuesday after spraining his ankle during the third quarter of that contest. The team announced that Mobley would be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. The loss of Mobley should mean increased fantasy value for Jarrett Allen. Also, Dean Wade and Georges Niang should see bigger roles. Both players are worth looking at in deep leagues.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. After spraining his left ankle in Tuesday's narrow win over the Boston Celtics, Mobley will sit out on the second end of Cleveland's back-to-back. Friday's showdown versus the first-place Minnesota Timberwolves marks the star big man's next chance to return. In Mobley's absence, Jarrett Allen should dominate center minutes, while sixth man Caris LeVert sees more run from the Cavs bench against a Hawks team that ranks dead last in defensive efficiency rating (117.6) this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (ankle) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mobley tweaked his ankle during the third quarter of this game and won't return. The hope is that it's a minor ankle sprain, but the team will likely do further testing following the contest. In the meantime, Dean Wade and Georges Niang should see increased playing time down the stretch of this game. Neither would be worth rostering in fantasy formats if Mobley is forced to miss more time.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says center Evan Mobley (knee) is no longer on a minutes restriction. Following mid-December arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Mobley missed a month and half of action but has averaged 15.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.9 combined steals plus blocks in 25.8 minutes during nine games since Jan. 29 while notching third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues across this stretch. The 22-year-old star big man draws a tough matchup against the Orlando Magic on Thursday, and despite this clash pitting two top-five defenses against each other, he will be worthy of DFS attention with a sub-$7,000 salary on DraftKings.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley (knee) is out for Thursday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is a bit of a surprise, considering head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said following Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons that the plan was for Mobley to play on Thursday. The Cavs will instead err on the side of caution and manage the left knee of the 22-year-old former No. 3 overall pick, who had been sidelined since early December before returning to play on Monday following arthroscopic surgery. Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro are candidates to return to Cleveland's starting five against Memphis, with the latter being the more attractive fantasy option as a low-end streamer. Over 24 games as a starter this season, Okoro has averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 threes.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The up-and-coming big man hasn't played since December 6 after undergoing a knee surgery that was slated to keep him out for six to eight weeks. On Friday, reports came out that he could return in a week, so this would even be ahead of time according to that timetable. If he returns, it would likely be on a minute restriction which would limit his fantasy value in the short term. Jarrett Allen would also see the biggest hit in value with Mobley returning to the front court.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) went through knee surgery after getting hurt in their game against the Orlando Magic on December 6. Since then, he's missed 21 consecutive games, but he's been progressing in the right direction. He's now been able to pass a lot of the steps needed to get back on the court and he's continuing to ramp up his intensity in practice according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. His return could potentially happen next week, but it would likely mean Mobley gets a minute restriction as well. If he is able to return, it would likely affect Jarrett Allen's fantasy value. He's been excellent while Mobley has been out, but his presence is likely to take away some scoring, boards, and even blocks.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) went through a conditioning workout before Monday's 109-91 win over the Chicago Bulls, and he hasn't faced any setbacks with his projected six-to-eight-week recovery timetable from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The Cavaliers held Mobley out for four straight games due to injury management for the issue, but they later announced on Dec. 15 that he required a procedure to remove loose bodies from his knee. Mobley has been sidelined for about four weeks and remains out indefinitely, but he is progressing. The 22-year-old former No. 3 overall pick will need to be cleared for basketball activities before any return to game action, so it may not be reasonable to expect him back before January's end. Jarrett Allen has really gotten going in Mobley's absence, averaging 18.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks over 13 games since Dec. 16.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) will reportedly undergo an arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavs' big man will miss six to eight weeks which compounds with the news that Darius Garland (jaw) is also going to miss around a month. They'll be down two of their big three while the team has gotten off to a slow start as they hover around the ninth seed in the East with a 13-12 record. While Mobley is out, Jarrett Allen should take on a bigger role. Dean Wade and Georges Niang will both get a lot more opportunities during this span which could make either one a streaming option.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Thursday will mark the fourth consecutive absence for Mobley, who is being listed under left knee injury management. It sounds like a minor issue that leaves Mobley day-to-day moving ahead. The 2022-23 All-Defensive player's next date for a possible return arrives on Saturday versus the Atlanta Hawks, which is the start of Cleveland's upcoming four-game homestand. There hasn't been a clear fantasy beneficiary of Mobley's absence, as Dean Wade has been unable to crack double figures in scoring despite starting the Cavaliers' last two games. Jarrett Allen helped keep Kristaps Porzingis in check for 5-of-16 shooting on Tuesday, and he'll take on the unenviable challenge of trying to slow him down without Mobley's help again on Thursday.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mobley will sit out on the second leg of back-to-back games for Cleveland and his third straight due to left knee injury management. The Cavaliers return to play on Wednesday for a rematch with the Celtics in Beantown, but Mobley's absence is a big loss for the team in this one. The 22-year-old defensive menace is providing third-round fantasy figures with averages of 16.0 points on 57.3% field-goal shooting, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 33.6 minutes over 21 games. The Cavs will lean on Jarrett Allen's rim protection against Kristaps Porzingis and company on Tuesday, while Dean Wade figures to draw another spot start as head coach J.B. Bickerstaff hopes for his reserves to step up.
