Evan Mobley finished Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, five blocks and three three-pointers.With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, there's more room for Mobley to operate on both ends of the floor. Despite the outcome of Wednesday's game, Mobley recorded the kind of stat line that fantasy managers hope to see consistently. His five blocked shots were a season-high, and the Cavaliers' forward/center has provided top-20 fantasy value over the past two weeks. Mobley will look to continue this run on Friday when the Spurs visit.
Jaylon Tyson notched 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.Tyson's final stat line wasn't eye-popping, but he continues to hold down a place in the starting lineup. With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for at least another week, the second-year wing should be considered in a broader range of fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Tyson has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Yet he's still rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Jarrett Allen: To miss at least one weekThe Cavaliers announced Sunday that Allen (finger) is expected to miss at least one week.
Evan Mobley posted a full line on Friday with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers against the Hawks.It wasn't enough to get the win, but Mobley was able to turn in one of his best statistical performances of the season, which included new season highs for both rebounds and assists. The return of Jarrett Allen (finger) after three straight absences didn't prevent Mobley from having a big night. A drop in shooting percentages has been the main culprit behind Mobley's drop in nine-cat value, but performances like this one will make up for inefficient shooting.
Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, De'Andre Hunter, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start Friday's game against the Hawks.The Cavaliers will start their preferred five on Friday, with Garland, Hunter and Allen back in the fold. Their returns push Lonzo Ball, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr. to the bench, although Allen's minutes may be restricted due to the amount of time he's missed.
