Though he didn’t contribute as much on the glass as he typically does, Mobley was able to pour in the points. This was his highest scoring performance since November. Still, his fantasy impact has been limited recently by a lack of rebounds. He has a total of 18 rebounds over his last four games, which is well below his season average of 8.6 boards per game. He had at least 10 rebounds in the two games prior to this stretch, and he’ll look to get back on track against the Jazz on Monday.

Mobley’s near-20-point effort on efficient shooting was the highlight of the night for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. He added in a trio of threes for the seventh time this season, as well. Yet he was unspectacular on the glass and finished with just one stock. Mobley has certainly had better days — he’ll have a chance to put up better numbers on Saturday against this same Timberwolves team.

Much to the delight of fantasy managers who have him rostered, Mobley continues to rack up the blocked shots. With his four on Sunday, the Cavaliers’ forward/center has tallied 15 over his last four appearances. The height of Mobley’s fantasy ceiling is partly determined by Jarrett Allen’s availability, and he did not play on Sunday due to illness. While he has not reached his lofty ADP (19), Mobley has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week.

Mobley’s first few games since returning from a calf injury have been rough, but this one was strong. He had his first double-double since his return in his second game back in the starting lineup and was one of three Cavs to record a double-double in this game. Mobley also matched his season high for blocks in the win. It has been a subpar stretch for Cleveland, but if Mobley continues to play like this, they’ll rise back up the standings.

After coming off the bench in his first two games back from a strained calf, Mobley is back in the starting lineup. However, the Cavaliers will go big, with Sam Merrill heading to the bench while Wade remains with the starters. The other four starters are unchanged.

Mobley only played 20 minutes on Saturday, a byproduct of the Cavaliers getting run out of the gym. However, he did start the second half, replacing Dean Wade (6/3/1/1 with two three-pointers in 18 minutes). Whether that means Mobley will be back in the lineup to begin Week 11 in San Antonio remains to be seen, and there’s also the minutes restriction to consider. For the Cavaliers and those who have Mobley rostered, the sooner he can ditch that restriction, the better.

Mobley made his return to action far sooner than expected, and he was brought off the bench on Thursday. The forward/center was limited to 25 minutes, and while there wasn’t any defensive production, what Mobley did provide was solid. Dean Wade, whose defending of Jalen Brunson was critical, remained in the starting lineup and finished with six points, four rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer. Wade should remain a starter until Mobley’s restriction is lifted, but his fantasy value still takes a hit.

Thursday’s game will be Mobley’s first since December 12, when he suffered a strained calf during a win over the Wizards. He was given a timeframe of two to four weeks, so the Cavaliers’ forward/center is back a little earlier than expected. While fantasy managers should expect a minutes restriction of some kind, Mobley doesn’t need to log heavy minutes to have an impact. He will come off the bench, leaving Dean Wade in the starting lineup.

A Christmas miracle? Mobley was said to be out for up to four weeks with a calf injury. His questionable listing gives the 24-year-old center at least a chance of returning Thursday against the Knicks. Mobley would be returning in 12 days from a two to four week injury.

While Mobley played 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Wizards, he suffered a strained left calf and will be sidelined for a bit. According to the Cavaliers, it’s a Grade 1 strain and Mobley is expected to miss approximately two to four weeks. With Jarrett Allen sidelined by finger injuries on both hands, Dean Wade and Thomas Bryant will figure more prominently in the frontcourt rotation. Wade has played more than Bryant, making him the preferred streaming option if Allen can’t play on Sunday against the Hornets.

While he wasn’t his usual efficient self from a shotmaking perspective, Mobley was quite impactful on the offensive end. He produced both inside and outside the arc en route to finishing with 20 or more points for the 12th time this season, and tied a team-high in assists, as well. Mobley didn’t produce any counting stats on the defensive end, which is rare for him, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Nonetheless, he put forth some strong production from a fantasy standpoint and continues to put up solid numbers overall.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mobley was one of four Cavaliers players to score in double figures on Monday, though his final line wasn’t his standard. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished the night with one stock and tied his third-lowest scoring total of the season. Mobley’s averages thus far have been pretty similar to his career-best 2024-25 season. He hasn’t taken a significant leap, but has been steady. Fantasy managers may be hoping for more moving forward.

Mobley has recorded double-doubles in both games the Cavaliers played without Jarrett Allen (finger) to end Week 5. While some will focus on the opposition, with Cleveland taking care of the Pacers and Clippers, those two games were reminders of what Mobley can do when he’s the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ lineup. Mobley’s fantasy value hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (19) yet, but he’s capable of closing that distance.

Mobley stepped into a major defensive role with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined. The 24-year-old center responded by stepping up and recording four blocks. Mobley also had a little more space around him offensively and put up 22 points and 12 rebounds, including four offensive rebounds. He had been off to a slow start to the season, returning just eighth-round value so far.

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.

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.

Nine of Mobley’s 11 rebounds were of the offensive variety, and he also dished out five assists. Monday’s overtime defeat was the Cavaliers forward’s first this season with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Mobley, who had a Yahoo! ADP of 19, has not performed to that level, but he is a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Jarrett Allen (14/7/2/0/1) only played 21 minutes on Monday, and he’s taken a back seat to Mobley in the frontcourt. Mobley is more than capable of meeting the preseason expectations; fantasy managers need to stay patient.

Mobley was one of the key reasons why Cleveland pulled out their fourth straight win as he fell just shy of a double-double for the second consecutive contest. The 24-year-old interior presence is averaging 20 points, nine rebounds and a career-best four assists per-game through 10 contests at the outset of the season. He’s performing at a borderline second-round value so far, which is a nice bonus for fantasy managers.

Mobley was set up for fantasy success in this one with the Cavaliers down Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. The 24-year-old center didn’t disappoint with a 29-point effort and filling up the rest of the stat sheet. Mobley probably would’ve had a good game against the Raptors anyway, but he easily hit his ceiling with the Cavaliers shorthanded.

Mobley finished Wednesday’s loss with a complete stat line, but he and sidekick Jarrett Allen (16/6/1/1/1) were outplayed by the Celtics’ tandem of Neemias Queta and Josh Minott. However, while that was disappointing, it doesn’t matter much to fantasy managers. Through five games, Mobley has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats, not too far from his Yahoo! ADP of 19.

Mobley has been filling up the stat sheet this season. He hasn’t been able to shoot the ball efficiently, but he made at least 50 percent of his shot attempts for the first time this season in Monday’s win. He was also able to record his first double-double of the season, and he has hit at least one triple in every game this year. Mobley has taken major strides to start this year, and when his shot starts falling again, he’ll be able to push for first-round production.

Mobley has been consistent on the glass thus far, grabbing eight rebounds in his first three games. However, the scoring output has fluctuated, with the Cavaliers’ center/forward’s 13-point effort against the Nets sandwiched between solid performances against the Knicks and Bucks. On Sunday, Mobley earned 12 free throws, which boosted the final point tally, as part of a complete stat line. He’ll look to do more of the same when Cleveland begins a four-game Week 2 in Detroit on Monday.

While Mobley was a more aggressive offensive player last season, there was still room for him to grow. Only Donovan Mitchell put up more shots on Wednesday night than the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Mobley finished with a robust stat line that included four “stocks” and four three-pointers. He struggled from the foul line, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned about that. The hope is that Mobley continues to be aggressive on offense, especially once Darius Garland (toe) returns to the lineup.

Mobley had just eight points on 13 attempts including missing all five of his three-point attempts. The 24-year-old center had 21 points in his last outing against the Bulls. It was just an off-night offensively for Mobley, who has made great strides with his offensive game. He still filled up the rest of the stat sheet. Mobley will look to bounce back on the opening night of the regular season as this was the Cavaliers’ last preseason game.
