Garland (toe) and Tyson (concussion) are back from injury, with the latter filling in for the injured Jarrett Allen (finger). Allen’s absence also impacts Mobley, who will be the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That should give him more room to operate offensively, raising his fantasy ceiling. Nae’Qwan Tomlin will come off the bench and does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues.

There’s been no word as to what changed, but Allen is now out less than an hour after it was reported that he would play. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Darius Garland could fill since he’s available. If that were to happen, Nae’Qwan Tomlin would remain with the starters, shifting Evan Mobley to the center position.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Allen is officially good to go. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, and this matchup could be a good one due to the inconsistency of the Pacers’ big men.

After missing five games due to the league’s concussion protocol, Tyson is available to play on Friday. However, he’ll be restricted to 30 minutes in his first game back. Whether coming off the bench or filling a void within the starting lineup, the second-year wing has been productive. Tyson should be rostered in deep leagues, especially with Sam Merrill and Max Strus sidelined.

Garland is available after missing five games with a toe injury that initially became an issue in March and required surgery during the offseason. He’ll be under a restriction on Friday, with the expectation being that the point guard won’t play more than 30 minutes. Garland’s return impacts Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor the most, as the latter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Tyson has missed Cleveland’s last five games due to concussion protocols. If he can play on Friday, the second-year will likely come off the bench, as Darius Garland (toe) is also questionable. Tyson’s best chance to start would be if Garland were unable to play.

Having fractured his left ring finger earlier this season, Allen is now dealing with a sprained right middle finger. If he can’t play on Friday, there should be more room for Evan Mobley to operate offensively. As for the starting lineup spot, Dean Wade and Nae’Qwan Tomlin are possible replacements, which would shift Mobley to the five.

Garland is on the verge of a return after missing Cleveland’s last five games with a toe injury. His presence is essential to the Cavaliers, who have relied on Donovan Mitchell to be the starting point guard, with Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. coming off the bench. If Garland plays on Friday, Porter may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Merrill will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from a sprained right hand. While Nae’Qwan Tomlin started Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets, Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson are both questionable for Friday’s game. If they’re available, Tomlin will return to the bench.

Murray-Boyles will miss a second straight game and has been diagnosed with a sprained right MCL. In other words, the rookie will likely be out for an extended period. Sandro Mamukelashvili played 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers, and that isn’t enough to make him a player worth streaming. Managers who have Murray-Boyles should wait for the Raptors to provide a recovery timeline before moving on.

Mobley and frontcourt sidekick Jarrett Allen (8/7/3/1) struggled on Wednesday, as Houston’s Alperen Şengün outplayed them in the 114-104 defeat. Entering the season with a Yahoo! ADP of 19, Mobley has only been an eight-round player in nine-cat formats. He’s been better in eight-cat, but this was not the start that many fantasy managers envisioned when they drafted Mobley. However, Friday’s game against the Pacers is an excellent opportunity for him (and Allen) to get going.
CLE • Forward-Guard • #12

Hunter provided limited value outside of the points and three-pointers, but that has been the norm for him throughout his NBA career. Due to the limited production in assists, steals and blocked shots, he’s still ranked outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. The good news for those who have Hunter rostered is that he appears to be a safe bet to start until Max Strus returns from offseason ankle surgery. Hunter’s rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, a fair percentage given the lackluster production in multiple categories.

Mitchell had arguably his quietest third quarter of the season on Wednesday, as he did not attempt a shot from the field. However, the Cavaliers won that period by a 30-17 margin as others picked up the slack offensively. With Darius Garland (toe) out, Mitchell has assumed the starting point guard role, and the balance between scoring and setting up others has been challenging to navigate at times. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson said before Wednesday’s game that Garland is “really close” to a return, and that should benefit Mitchell.

Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats for the season, Quickley has been even better over the past week. He’s been a top-40 player during this stretch, averaging 17.5 points on 57.1 percent shooting. Quickley has also provided solid value in the assist and steals categories, which has boosted his standing within fantasy basketball.

Poetll has now scored at least 19 points in three of his last four outings, his most productive stretch of the season. The lower back issues he dealt with during the preseason appear to be a thing of the past, as the 7-footer has surpassed 30 minutes in consecutive games for the first time. A healthy Poeltl makes a significant difference for the Raptors, and the recent run of individual success may catalyze him. Over the past week, he has provided top-75 value in nine-cat formats.
TOR • Forward • #3

Ingram may not have provided the most robust stat line, but the production he did offer was good. The Raptors forward shot 70 percent from the field and dished out five assists. However, the lack of rebounds or defensive stats while also committing four turnovers negated some of the positives for Ingram, who also dealt with some foul trouble. He’s still providing top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, closing in on the top-50 in the former.

After shooting 1-of-6 from the field in the first half, Barrett really didn’t have anywhere to go but up in the second half. That’s precisely what happened, as he scored 11 points in the third quarter alone. After a solid fourth, he tied for the team lead in scoring with Brandon Ingram. Barrett has never been a great category league option, but he’s been far better this season, providing top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

The Cavaliers won’t have Sam Merrill for Wednesday’s game, as he is out with a hand injury. With Houston having a bigger lineup, Cleveland will do the same, with Tomlin moving into the starting five. The promotion makes him an intriguing deep-league streaming option, but he is not a must-stream player.

Merrill has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a sprained right hand. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Craig Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball being potential replacements. Either one would bump Donovan Mitchell to the off-guard role, but he would still do a lot of on-ball playmaking.

No surprise here as Agbaji was initially listed as probable with a back injury. The 25-year-old shooting guard should see some extra minutes with Collin Murray Boyles (knee) out against the 76ers on Wednesday, but still isn’t a worthwhile streamer with Toronto’s starting lineup at full strength.

Murray-Boyles has been downgraded from doubtful to out, freeing up minutes within the Raptors’ bench unit. With Jonathan Mogbo on assignment with the team’s G League affiliate, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Ochai Agbaji should absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Murray-Boyles. With Toronto’s starters being healthy, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Mamukelashvili or Agbaji.

Including Wednesday’s matchup with the Rockets, Garland has missed Cleveland’s last five games since aggravating a toe injury during a November 10 loss to the Heat. However, a return to action may be on the horizon, based upon Atkinson’s pregame comments. Donovan Mitchell has taken on the starting point guard role in Garland’s absence, with Sam Merrill entering the starting lineup. Merrill, who is questionable for Wednesday, is worth streaming as long as he’s available and Garland isn’t.

CMB was initially listed as questionable to play, but he has now been downgraded and is expected to be sidelined.

Murray-Boyles, who is dealing with a sore right knee, has surpassed 20 minutes just once in his last six appearances.

Wednesday’s game will be the fifth that Garland has missed since aggravating his toe injury during a November 10 loss to the Heat.

Poeltl was just one rebounds shy of a double-double. The 30-year-old center’s excellent shooting streak continues as he’s made at least 80 percent of his field goal attempts in four of his last five games. Poeltl’s 70 percent field goal percentage so far this year would be a career-high for the career 63 percent shooter. The Raptors continue their four-game week against the 76ers on Wednesday.

Quickley has just 27 points combined over the last two games after scoring at least 20 points in three straight games before that. The 26-year-old point guard grabbed 10 rebounds against the Hornets on Monday. Quickly was just six assists shy of a triple-double. He’s providing fifth-round value in nine-category leagues so far this year.

Mitchell was sizzling-hot at the outset of this one, knocking down 10 of 13 shots to finish the first half with a game-high 25 points. He cooled off considerably in the second half, but got enough help from his supporting cast to hold off a late rally from a Milwaukee squad playing without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who left the contest with three minutes remaining in the second quarter due to a left groin strain. Mitchell has been sensational to open the year, averaging a career-best 30.9 points while shooting 38.8 percent from three and attempting an eye-popping 7.5 free throws per game through 13 contests. The Cavaliers are back in action when they host the Rockets on Wednesday night.

Merrill was scorching-hot from long range, drilling six of nine from beyond the arc to eclipse the 20-point mark for the first time since October 24. He’s shooting a career-best 44.4 percent while attempting nearly four three-pointers per-game through 12 contests. He’ll continue to play an increased role with Darius Garland (toe) on the shelf.

Ingram led the way with a game-high 27 points in the Raptors’ win over the Hornets on Monday. The 28-year-old small forward threw down a vicious dunk to give the Raptors a six-point lead halfway through the fourth quarter. Ingram was 9-of-21 from the field (42 percent), 3-of-6 from behind the three-point line (50 percent), and 6-of-7 on free throws (85 percent). It was an outstanding game for him. The Raptors will be back on the court again Wednesday against the 76ers on the road.

Poeltl knocked down eight of nine shot attempts, shooting an astonishing 89 percent from the floor, and erupted for 15 points in the second half as Toronto recorded their seventh win over their last eight games. He could’ve had an even bigger night had he not missed eight free throws in this one. He’s eclipsed the 20-point threshold in back-to-back contests and is averaging nearly eight rebounds per-game this season. It’s an extremely encouraging sign to see him ramping up from a scoring standpoint after being impacted by a lingering back issue at the outset of the year. The Raptors kick off a four-game week on Monday against the Hornets before facing the 76ers, Wizards and Nets.

Barnes took just seven shots from the floor, the fewest of any Raptors starter in this one, but he managed to get to the charity stripe for nine free throws, which helped him surpass 20 points for the sixth time in 13 games.

Mobley had a rough performance against Toronto on Thursday, but he was able to bounce back in a big way to help Cleveland get back on track. Mobley’s shooting percentage is down this year, which can be attributed to him taking more shots from beyond the arc. However, he’s averaging career-highs in points, assists, steals, blocks and three-pointers. Mobley is revolutionizing his game, which may cost him some value in a few categories, but it’s making him a dynamic star for the Cavaliers.

The Cavs trailed by eight entering the fourth quarter of this game, but Mitchell’s 14 fourth-quarter points helped them to turn this game around. Mitchell has been on a scoring tear to start this year and is currently averaging 30.4 points and 4.0 three-pointers per game, which would both be the best marks of his career. Cleveland has four games next week, all at home. Mitchell will look to stay hot against the Bucks on Monday.

Merrill started for the fourth straight game, and he was once again a reliable source of three-pointers.
