| Wed Feb 25 | 17:23 | Evan Mobley Sidelined for Wednesday's Matchup With Milwaukee |
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The contest is the second leg of a back-to-back, and the Cavaliers are opting to rest Mobley as he continues his recovery from a left calf strain that previously sidelined him for seven games. Cleveland appears to be taking a cautious approach to avoid any setback. In his absence, Dean Wade and Nae'Qwan Tomlin should see increased minutes, making them potential short-term streaming options in deeper fantasy formats. |

| Tue Feb 24 | 18:49 | Evan Mobley to Remain Limited on Tuesday |
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will remain under a minutes limit during Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. The Cavs have been cautious with Mobley since he missed seven games due to a left calf strain. On Sunday, Mobley finished with 15 points, two rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes of action. The expectation is that Mobley will see a bump in playing time, but he will still be monitored. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should be comfortable getting Mobley active in their lineups. The 24-year-old won't be a great DFS option given his limitations at the moment. |

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) is ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Mobley made his return to the court on Thursday after missing seven games due to a calf strain. The Cavs have decided to take the cautious approach and rest Mobley in the second leg of the back-to-back set. The absence of Mobley will likely free up playing time for multiple players in the rotation. Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade, and Sam Merrill figure to all see increased run on Friday. Among the three players, Tyson is the best streaming choice for Friday's slate. |

| Tue Jan 27 | 18:09 | Evan Mobley Out 1-3 Weeks Due to Calf Injury |
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will be out 1-3 weeks due to a strained left calf, the team announced on Tuesday. Mobley suffered the injury during Monday's 20-point, nine-rebound performance against the Orlando Magic. It's the second time this season he has been sidelined by this injury. He sat out five games in December with a Grade 1 left calf strain. Mobley's absence from the rotation will create additional playing opportunities for De'Andre Hunter, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, and Larry Nance Jr. Of the trio, Hunter has the most fantasy upside, though he has been hit-and-miss all season. |

Dean Wade and Thomas Bryant should see a steadier run, while Nae'Qwan Tomlin is a deeper-league flier. Jaylon Tyson's floor minutes also rise. |

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) may be forced to sit out Tuesday's Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers after the team listed him as questionable for the clash. Mobley opened the series with an impressive performance on Sunday, but he also injured his left ankle. The first-year All-Star finished Game 1 with 20 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 36 minutes. De'Andre Hunter (thumb) was also hurt in the contest, and Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson said after Monday's practice that there is "real concern" about the availability of the two for Tuesday night. Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro will have to step up if Mobley and Hunter can't take the court on Tuesday, while Atkinson may also introduce a new big man into the rotation. |

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley had a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double in the opening game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals versus Indiana. He added two steals. Unfortunately, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year had trouble taking care of the ball, committing a game-high four turnovers on the night. Still, Mobley was at least efficient from the field, going 9-for-13, while draining two of his five attempts from deep. With the Pacers taking Game 1, both clubs will go at it again on Tuesday night. While head coach Kenny Atkinson will surely make some adjustments, Mobley will likely see between 30-35 minutes of work. |

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley will sit out Thursday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

Cleveland 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.

The former Atlanta Hawk is averaging a career-high 17.6 points, despite being a starter in only eight of his 51 appearances. |
