Player News

NBC SportsDean Wade started the second half on Friday and contributed 12 points (4-of-6 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers against the Spurs.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin started this game with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, and while he was able to contribute 13 points in 18 minutes, he wasn't as effective as Wade. Though he typically hasn't been a productive player in fantasy basketball, he was able to start the second half and turn in a strong stat line during his 29 minutes on the floor. Wade isn't worth rostering, but he played well in this game.

NBC SportsEvan Mobley (illness) is now questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Mobley popped up as questionable with an illness Friday afternoon ahead of the Cavaliers' matchup against the Spurs. The 24-year-old center's status for the game is certainly up in the air. With Jarrett Allen (finger) already ruled out, the Cavaliers could end up relying on Dean Wade and Nae'Qwan Tomlin in the frontcourt.

NBC SportsDarius Garland (toe) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Garland did not play in Monday's win over the Pacers, which moved Dean Wade into the starting lineup. Wade should head back to the bench, with Jaylon Tyson continuing to start. The second-year wing has played well this season, most recently scoring 27 points on Monday.
