The Cavaliers got off to an ice-cold start on the second night of a back-to-back, scoring a season-low 36 points in the first half. Mitchell came alive after the break, burying seven three-pointers and dropping 21 points in the second half as Cleveland roared back to make this one close. He had an opportunity to knock down a game-tying three-pointer in the final seconds but came up empty. The 29-year-old scoring machine is averaging 30.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks over 23 games this season. The Cavaliers are off until Friday when they face the floundering Wizards before closing out a two-game week with a home matchup against the Hornets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Proctor will not be available for Friday’s game, but his absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball. With Lonzo Ball available, the rookie wing picked up a DNP-CD in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

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.

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.

Ball is back after a two-game absence, and he’ll provide additional depth on the perimeter behind starting Darius Garland. With Garland available, Ball is in a spot where he offers limited fantasy value.

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. Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor will also continue to see added minutes off the bench, though neither will play enough to be worth streaming.

Ball has missed Cleveland’s last two games, freeing up additional minutes for Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor. However, they also benefitted from the absence of Darius Garland on Monday, so even fewer minutes will be available to Porter and Proctor if Ball plays.

Garland did not play in Monday’s win over the Pacers, which moved Dean Wade into the starting lineup. Wade should head back to the bench, with Jaylon Tyson continuing to start. The second-year wing has played well this season, most recently scoring 27 points on Monday.

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. Wade is a reliable veteran presence, but he hasn’t been able to be productive in fantasy basketball when given a larger role in the past.

Garland logged 31 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, but he’ll sit out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set. With Lonzo Ball (illness) and Sam Merrill (hand) also out, expect Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor to see increased run. Donovan Mitchell should be in line for monster usage, while Jaylon Tyson could get also get a bump in usage.

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.

While Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are good to go for Sunday’s matchup, the Cavaliers won’t have reserve Lonzo Ball (knee) available. Porter will be able to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Ball, but this is not a good spot to find reliable fantasy value. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Allen returned to action on Friday against the Hawks, but he sat out Saturday against the Celtics and will miss at least a week. Jaylon Tyson is worth a look, as he should fill in for Allen until he returns.
