The Cavaliers will be without most of their rotation players for Sunday’s regular-season finale, as their playoff seeding is locked in. The absences in the frontcourt free up opportunities for Nae’Qwan Tomlin, who should have the ultimate green light on Sunday.

Cleveland’s frontcourt tandem of Mobley and Jarrett Allen had the size advantage on Wednesday, and they took advantage. The former matched his career-high with 19 rebounds while also recording 22 points and three blocked shots. Allen contributed a stat line of 16 points, eight rebounds and two steals. While Cleveland can still grab the third seed in the East, Wednesday and Friday’s games against the Hawks are more likely to be previews of a first-round series.

Following a one-game absence with a calf injury, Mobley was back to take on Memphis. He sat the first leg of this back-to-back, and the extra rest led to him having a big night offensively. The Grizzlies didn’t really have an answer for him, and while he didn’t contribute much else for fantasy managers, he had an efficient night as a scorer. Mobley hasn’t been as productive as he was last year, which was his Defensive Player of the Year season. However, he still has a bright future for fantasy managers, and his production will be tied to Cleveland’s chances of making noise in the playoffs.

Mobley and Allen did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pacers, resulting in spot starts for Keon Ellis and Thomas Bryant. While Bryant is out with a strained calf, Ellis could remain in the starting lineup since Donovan Mitchell is out.

With Jarrett Allen (knee) getting the night off, Mobley was dominant in the opener of Cleveland’s three-game road trip. In addition to shooting over 70 percent from the field, he provided excellent value in rebounds and blocked shots. Mobley’s season-long fantasy value has not been what most fantasy managers expected before the season began. However, he’s still capable of big nights, especially when Allen is not available. The Cavaliers should have both of their bigs available for Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.

When Mobley and Jarrett Allen are on the floor, there have been questions in the past about how their respective upsides are impacted. Both were excellent on Friday, recording double-doubles in the blowout of the Heat. Having some help up front paid dividends for Mobley, who was limited to eight points and five rebounds in Wednesday’s loss to the Heat. The negative for fantasy managers is that Cleveland doesn’t play again in Week 22, but they do have four games in Week 23.

Mobley recorded a complete stat line while shooting 80 percent from the field in Saturday’s victory. While the foul line remains problematic for those needing him to be better in that category, the Cavaliers’ forward/center has provided top-20 value since the All-Star break for managers willing to punt free throw percentage.

Mobley and the Cavaliers have played seven games since losing Jarrett Allen to a knee injury, and he has been excellent. Over the past two weeks, Mobley has averaged 22.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 61.1 percent from the foul line. The issue for him has been the foul shooting, with Mobley making 44.1 percent of his attempts during this stretch. However, given how productive he has been, fantasy managers will be fine with the poor foul shooting.

Mobley’s struggles from the free throw line continued, but he was able to turn in a monster performance aside from that. He set a new season-high for rebounds and was effective as a shot blocker once again. Mobley hasn’t been as effective this season, mostly because his production hasn’t been consistent, but he has had plenty of excellent outings. He’ll look to carry this into Thursday’s game against the Bulls.

Mobley finished Sunday’s defeat with his second double-double in three games and 21st of the season, and he’s blocked multiple shots in four of his last five games. Interestingly, Jarrett Allen’s absence has not given Mobley’s fantasy value the boost many hoped for. Mobley has provided eighth-round value over his last five games; shooting 43.5 percent from the foul line doesn’t help.

Mobley had an excellent night at the office in Dallas, except for the foul shooting. The Cavaliers’ forward/center shot 80 percent from the field and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Dallas potentially having Daniel Gafford for Sunday’s rematch could make things a bit more challenging for Mobley, but it would be unsurprising if he had a big day to end Week 20.

The lone negative for Mobley managers on Wednesday was his foul shooting, as he made two of seven attempts. The double-double was his second of March, and he’s totaled eight blocked shots in his last three games. With Mobley shooting 56.4 percent from the line since the All-Star break, his fantasy value has slipped by multiple rounds. The season-long value remains fine, but fantasy managers heading into their playoff matchups will need more moving forward.

Mobley, serving as the starting center with Jarrett Allen (knee) unavailable, had an excellent afternoon despite the Cavaliers’ 109-98 defeat. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the 6-foot-11 forward/center was also responsible for eight rebounds and three blocked shots. With the Cavaliers hosting the 76ers on Monday, the boost to Mobley’s fantasy value would remain if Allen has to miss another game.

While he only attempted nine shots on the night, Mobley was efficient with his opportunities. And the overall line only lacked a blocked shot, with the forward/center being left to do a bit more following Jarrett Allen’s exit due to a right knee injury. The Cavaliers won’t play again until Sunday; hopefully, Allen’s injury isn’t serious, and the time off ensures that he’s available for their matchup with the Celtics.

Mobley played 37 minutes in Friday’s overtime loss to the Pistons, which was the most he’s played since injuring his calf. The 24-year-old center only played 27 minutes on Sunday, but was excellent with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Mobley should have more responsibility in the offense as long as Donovan Mitchell is still sidelined.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Bucks, Mobley played 37 minutes in Friday’s overtime defeat. That’s the most he has played in a game since returning from the strained calf, and the talented forward/center did not experience any issues. That bodes well for Mobley and those who have him rostered, as he will continue to shoulder more responsibility as long as James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) remain out.

Mobley will be back following a one-game absence. James Harden (thumb) is questionable, while Donovan Mitchell (groin) will remain out. That means there will be a starting spot open for either Jaylon Tyson or Sam Merrill, who both started on Wednesday. However, with Mobley available, one will head back to the bench.

Mobley will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, and he will be joined by Donovan Mitchell (groin), while James Harden (thumb) is questionable. Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill should step into the starting unit, with another spot potentially up for grabs. Jarrett Allen should also see a bump in production as the only big in the starting unit.

Mobley is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Hornets, which was Cleveland’s second game in as many nights. His return will bump Sam Merrill to the bench, which limits the sharpshooter’s fantasy value.

Mobley logged 19 minutes on Thursday, returning to the court after nearly a month on the shelf. It’s not surprising that he’ll sit out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set due to left calf injury management. Mobley’s absence should mean additional run for Jaylon Tyson, who warrants streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Mobley was back on the court for the first time since January 26. The combination of his restriction and the blowout limited him to 19 minutes, which was good news for the Cavaliers. Jaylon Tyson moved to the bench, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 23 minutes. Given the time off, fantasy managers should consider Mobley questionable for Friday’s game in Charlotte. If he sits, Tyson may return to the starting lineup.

Mobley will return from a calf injury to log his first minutes alongside the newly-acquired James Harden. Jarrett Allen has thrived in Harden’s three games since arriving via trade, so it’ll be interesting to see if Mobley’s return changes things. Regardless, the Cavs will look to secure a sixth-straight win on Thursday.

Mobley is good to make his first appearance since straining his calf during a January 26 win over the Magic. While he isn’t guaranteed to start immediately due to a potential minutes restriction, Mobley’s return likely means Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill will lose some playing time.

Mobley suffered a calf injury in Monday’s game against the Magic. A Tuesday MRI revealed a left calf strain. The 24-year-old center is set to miss the next 1-3 weeks before he’s re-evaluated. Dean Wade should continue to start for Cleveland with Mobley sidelined and every Cavaliers starter should see a boost in usage.

Mobley followed an inefficient 13-point showing against the Magic on Saturday with a much better overall performance in Monday’s rematch. He shot the ball well, leading him to finish as one of two Cavaliers players to score at least 20 points. Additionally, his solid work on the glass left him just shy of a double-double. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year added a couple of blocks on defense and even chipped in a three-pointer on the end, giving him a fine fantasy basketball performance altogether. He’ll have a chance to put together another good stat line on Wednesday against the Lakers.

Mobley had a rough stretch as a rebounder earlier this month, but the last two games have shown that won’t continue. He recorded his second straight double-double and matched his season high for both points and assists. Mobley has had a strong season overall, though his points, rebounds and shooting percentages are down from last season. He’ll look to stay hot in Orlando on Saturday.

Not only did Mobley record his 16th double-double, but he also matched his season-high with 14 rebounds. Add in the steals and blocks, and this was a good night for Mobley managers, even with the limited scoring. Over the past two weeks, Mobley has offered top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Cavaliers return home to host the Kings on Friday.

After a modest effort in Monday’s loss to the Jazz, Mobley was more impactful, especially defensively, on Wednesday. He recorded four blocked shots, the sixth time this season he’s either met or exceeded that number. The double-double was Mobley’s first in six games and 15th of the season, and he’s dished out 14 assists over his last two games. He’ll look to replicate Wednesday’s performance when the Cavaliers face the 76ers again on Friday.

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.
