Proctor also missed Friday’s game against the Spurs for personal reasons. The 21-year-old point guard might’ve been in line for some minutes with Lonzo Ball (knee) out. Proctor did’t play Wednesday due to a coach’s decision when Ball was available.

Ball had two points, six rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday. The 28-year-old point guard will sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Warriors for injury management reasons. His absence impacts the Cavaliers rotation, but isn’t significant for fantasy basketball.

Porzingis will miss Saturday’s game for conditioning reasons. The 30-year-old power forward missed Friday’s game against the Nuggets with an illness and has missed the last five games. Onyeka Okongwu will start, but he’s already rostered in most fantasy leagues.

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.

Mitchell is enjoying the best offensive season of his career, which has gone under the radar due to the Cavaliers’ struggles. He’s averaging a career-best 30.6 points per game while also shooting over 50 percent from the floor for the first time in his career. “Only” scoring 28 points in this game actually dropped his average slightly. He’ll keep pouring in the points to help the Cavs stay afloat until they get healthy.

Tyson has been incredible as a starter during his second season in the NBA. He has been able to start more than expected due to various injuries, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. In 14 starts this year, he is averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game. As long as he is starting, he should be considered a must-roster player in every format.

Following a four-game absence due to an illness, Porzingis was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench for the first time this season and only the second time in his career, which allowed Onyeka Okongwu to remain a starter. That likely isn’t a permanent change, since Porzingis was on a minutes restriction, but he thrived during his 20 minutes on the floor. This was the first of a back-to-back, and Porziņģis hasn’t played in both legs of a back-to-back this year.

Johnson became the first player in Hawks history to record a triple-double in a single half. He wasn’t quite as productive in the second half, but he was still able to set a new career high for assists and match his career high for rebounds. Johnson missed Wednesday’s game due to right calf tightness, and he was questionable to play in this one. It didn’t seem to bother him, but there is certainly a chance he is back on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Wizards since it is the second of a back-to-back.

This was the fifth straight game that NAW was able to score at least 20 points, and four of his nine career 30-point games have come over the last 15 days. It has been a spectacular first year in Atlanta for NAW, and he’ll continue to shine as a starter until Trae Young (knee) returns. His value will take a hit after that, but he should still be productive enough to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

With Darius Garland out, Tomlin enters the Cavs’ opening unit for his second start of the season. The remaining four starters each started Cleveland’s most recent game against the Trail Blazers, which ended in a loss. The Cavaliers have lost four of their last five games and will look to get back on track against the Spurs on Friday.

Mobley was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but it won’t prevent him from suiting up against San Antonio. With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, Mobley will continue to fill the center spot, which leaves him primed for a big night against Luke Kornet and the Spurs.

Porziņģis will be back after a four-game absence, and he will likely return to his spot in the starting lineup. That would typically push Onyeka Okongwu to the bench, but with Porziņģis on a minutes restriction, Okongwu will continue to start. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so Porziņģis will likely sit that one out.

Johnson will be back after a one-game absence. Mouhamed Gueye started that game in his place, but he will return to a reserve role for this one. This is the first night of a back-to-back, so don’t be surprised if Johnson is back on the injury report ahead Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

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.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Garland’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Lonzo Ball could fill since he’s available. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when given this role, but the fantasy ceiling is limited.

Due to right calf tightness, Johnson was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers. Mouhamed Gueye replaced him in the starting lineup but did not offer much value, going scoreless in 23 minutes. Gueye may get another start if Johnson can’t play against the Nuggets, but there’s no need to consider streaming him.

The Hawks were no match for the Clippers without Jaylen Johnson as they trailed by 14 points at halftime and ultimately lost by 23. Alexander-Walker continued to put up numbers even in the loss.

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.

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.

Mitchell has scored at least 30 points in 13 games this season, including three of his last four. The Cavaliers guard once again did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Darius Garland (6/3/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) shot 2-of-13 from the field. Mitchell had a tough night from deep, shooting 3-of-13 on three-pointers, but the two-point production salvaged the overall field-goal percentage. Cleveland hosts San Antonio on Friday.

The Hawks are without Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porziņģis, with the latter missing his fifth consecutive game. Okongwu will continue to start for KP, while Gueye steps in for Johnson. While Okongwu is already rostered in most leagues, Gueye is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.

Initially listed as available for Wednesday’s game, Johnson was downgraded to questionable about an hour before tipoff. He is now officially out. Mouhamed Gueye could be pushed into the starting lineup out of necessity. Getting to start would make Gueye worthy of a look in deep leagues, which has not been the case when he’s come off the bench.

This will be an eighth straight absence for Merrill, and there hasn’t been much clarity as to how much longer he’ll be out. Jaylon Tyson will continue to play a large role, even if he is pushed to the bench with Darius Garland back.

NAW was able to have another big scoring night, and it mostly came in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 of his 26 points in the final frame, which included a triple with less than a few seconds left to make it a one-point game. Unfortunately, they came up short, but NAW just keeps on dominating. As long as Trae Young (knee) remains out, Alexander-Walker will continue to shine for fantasy managers.

Okongwu started once again with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined for a third straight outing.

After a stellar individual performance in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Mobley’s production on Monday was modest by comparison. However, he recorded multiple blocked shots in a game for the 10th time this season, nearly a third of the way to his total for the 2024-25 season (34). With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for a few weeks, fantasy managers hope this is when Mobley will truly explode as a fantasy option.

After scoring 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Tyson was far better against the Pacers. The 27 points were the second-most for him in an NBA game, trailing only Tyson’s 31-point effort against the Pacers in the 2024-25 regular season finale. With Tyson starting 12 of the 17 games he’s appeared in, it’s clear that he’s considered to be a player who can provide consistent value within the Cavaliers’ rotation. Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats, Tyson is rightfully being rostered in some 14-team leagues.

With Darius Garland unavailable, Mitchell took on more of the playmaking responsibilities on Monday. That did not keep him from seeking his own shot, as the Cavaliers star put up 27 and finished with his first 40-point game of the season. Mitchell and Jaylon Tyson combined to score 70 of Cleveland’s 135 points, more than compensating for the absences of Garland and Jarrett Allen. So far, Mitchell has provided first-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, and he isn’t far away from doing the same in nine-cat.

With Darius Garland sitting out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back, Wade will slide into the starting lineup, which will shift Donovan Mitchell up to point guard.

Donovan Mitchell should be in line for monster usage, while Jaylon Tyson could get also get a bump in usage.

Two days after recording a triple-double, Johnson set a new career high for scoring in a double-overtime win over Philadelphia. It was a spectacular showing, and Johnson was able to make an impact from beyond the arc, at the free throw line and at the rim to help the Hawks move to 13-8. With Trae Young (knee) set to miss at least two more weeks, Johnson will continue to be the star of the show. Johnson has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, which will continue during Atlanta’s upcoming four-game week.

NAW wasn’t able to match his career high for scoring, which he set less than two weeks ago, but he was able to have one of his best performances of the season. He has been an elite fill-in for Trae Young (knee) who is set to miss at least two more weeks. NAW will retain enough value to be rostered in standard leagues when Young returns, but he won’t match this current run of production. Still, for now, Alexander-Walker will continue to be a star.

Mobley has routinely punished Boston’s undersized frontcourt in recent years, and that pattern held firm as he got whatever he wanted inside with Neemias Queta sidelined — while also knocking down three of six attempts from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old center had a chance to come through in the final seconds but his fadeaway jumper came up short and Cleveland fell just two points shy of pulling off an incredible comeback. The Cavaliers return to action Monday against the Pacers before matchups with the Trail Blazers, Spurs and Warriors to round out a four-game week.

Mitchell got off to an extremely slow start by his lofty standards in this one, but he came alive in the closing moments, draining a pair of three-pointers to make it a one possession game on two separate occasions during the final minute. He’s failed to break 20 points in two of his last three games, but went off for 42 points in the other contest during that stretch. He’s delivered second-round fantasy value this season, averaging 29.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals through 19 games.

NAW has been an incredible fill-in for Trae Young (knee) this season, and he showed why once again in this game. This was his eighth game this season with at least 20 points, and he has more than doubled his scoring average from last season.
