Darius Garland Darius Garland scores team-high 25 points vs. CHA
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 2:48 PM
Darius Garland produced a stat line of 25 points (7-of-16 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, 12 assists, and two 3-pointers in 30 minutes in Sunday's win over Charlotte.
Analysis: Garland led four 20-point scorers in Sunday's win over Charlotte, pushing Cleveland's record to an unblemished 15-0. They beat the Hornets without Donovan Mitchell, who was given the night off for rest reasons, and the Cavs have another back-to-back to navigate on Tuesday (at BOS) and Wednesday (vs. NOR). The second game may be one to watch for Garland, especially if the Cavaliers fall in Boston. |

Jarrett Allen Jarrett Allen puts up 21 points, 15 rebounds
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 2:47 PM
Jarrett Allen accounted for 21 points (6-of-7 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 15 rebounds, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes in Sunday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Allen has ten double-doubles in 15 games this season, and consistency is one reason he's providing top-40 fantasy value. First-year head coach Kenny Atkinson's vow to further emphasize Evan Mobley has not hurt Allen's value, as he continues to do his work in the paint and on the boards. There's no reason to doubt his ability to keep this going for the long haul. |

Evan Mobley Evan Mobley tallies 23 points, 11 rebounds vs. CHA
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 2:46 PM
Evan Mobley finished Sunday's win over Charlotte with 23 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, one block, and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
Analysis: Mobley was back in the lineup after an illness sidelined him for Friday's win over the Bulls, and he made up for lost time with another double-double. The Cavaliers big is up to five on the season, and he's providing top-40 per-game value in 9-cat formats. Cleveland plays three games in Week 5, beginning in Boston on Tuesday, as they look to remain undefeated. |

Ty Jerome Ty Jerome goes off for 24 points vs. Hornets
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 2:46 PM
Ty Jerome shot 9-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Sunday's win over Charlotte, scoring 24 points with two rebounds, eight assists, and four 3-pointers in 32 minutes.
Analysis: With Donovan Mitchell (rest) taking a planned night off, Jerome moved into the starting lineup on Sunday. He matched his career high with 24 points and dished out eight assists in an excellent performance for the 15-0 Cavaliers. Rostered in 7% of Yahoo leagues, Jerome is providing 10th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. Mitchell and Darius Garland being healthy means Jerome isn't a must-add, but he's worth a look in deep leagues for Week 5 due to Cleveland's Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. |

Dean Wade Dean Wade (ankle) will not return Sunday vs. CHA

Chris Fedor
Dean Wade (left ankle sprain) will not return to Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Wade sprained his ankle during the third quarter when he stepped on teammate Jarrett Allen's foot while on defense. If he misses time, this will not impact fantasy basketball, as Wade has not been a factor this season. |
|
Isaac Okoro Isaac Okoro (ankle) questionable to return Sunday
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 1:36 PM
Chris Fedor
Isaac Okoro (right ankle sprain) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Okoro sprained his ankle during the second quarter and was not on the court to begin the third. Caris LeVert filled the void in the starting lineup, but the boost he'd experience if Okoro missed time would be minimal. Donovan Mitchell is sitting out Sunday's game for rest reasons and will be available on Tuesday when the Cavaliers visit Boston. |

Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 11:34 AM
The Cavaliers will start Darius Garland, Ty Jerome, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on Sunday against the Hornets.
Analysis: Jerome moves into the starting lineup with Donovan Mitchell getting the day off for rest. He's only an option in deeper leagues when Garland and Mitchell are healthy, but is certainly a streaming option with Mitchell out Sunday. |

Evan Mobley Evan Mobley (illness) available Sunday vs. CHA
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 10:22 AM
Sam Amico
Evan Mobley (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Mobley is back after a one-game absence, meaning the Cavaliers will only be down one starter (Donovan Mitchell) as they look to move to 15-0. Georges Niang will return to the bench, with his streaming value taking a significant hit. |

NBA Injury Report
Evan Mobley (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against Charlotte.
Analysis: Mobley is on track to return after sitting out Friday's win over the Bulls. If cleared, he'll bump Georges Niang back to the bench. Niang hit four 3-pointers and accounted for 14 points and eight rebounds on Friday, providing value to deep-league managers willing to stream him. |

Donovan Mitchell Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill ruled out Sunday
Sat, Nov 16, 2024, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Sam Merrill (left ankle inflammation) are out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Mitchell's status is far more impactful as it opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Caris LeVert and Ty Jerome are in a position to play more minutes, with the former being the likely choice to move into the starting lineup. As for Merrill, his absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. LeVert and Jerome can also absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to the Cavaliers sharpshooter. |

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 4:29 PM
Jarrett Allen had 24 points (11-of-15 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Allen seems to be feeling better after being listed as questionable with a leg injury Friday. He dropped 24 points on just 15 shots and had his ninth double-double of the season. Allen is a crucial part of the Cavaliers' undefeated start to the season and stepped up with a big game on a night when the Cavs were without Evan Mobley. Cleveland takes on the Hornets on Sunday. |

Darius Garland Garland has 29/3/9 line as Cavs beat Bulls 144-126
Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 4:25 PM
Darius Garland had 29 points (9-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, nine assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Garland continues to gel with Donovan Mitchell in the Cavaliers' backcourt. Mitchell went off for a season-high 37 points, but he only took five more shots than Garland, who had 29 points of his own. Given the efficiency both Garland and Mitchell are playing with this season, there's room for both of them to get their numbers. We'll get another chance to see the pair in action on Sunday against the Hornets. |

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 4:21 PM

Analysis: The Cavs improved to 14-0 on the season and 7-0 at home on the wings of Mitchell scoring a game-high 37 points. He was 12-of-23 from the field and made 6-of-13 attempts from behind the 3-point line. The 37 points were a season-high for Mitchell, who continues to provide solid value as an early round pick this year. The Cavaliers take on the Hornets on Sunday. |

Jarrett Allen Cavs start Garland, Mitchell, Okoro, Niang, Allen
Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 12:48 PM
Cavaliers will start Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and Jarrett Allen against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Evan Mobley is out with an illness while Jarrett Allen, who's been dealing with a leg injury, will start again. The Cavaliers remain undefeated, but Mobley being out is a key loss. Allen, on the other hand, saw his minutes tick back up in his last game and might be close to being over his leg injury. At the very least, he was feeling better as he posted his eighth double-double of the year. |

Evan Mobley Evan Mobley (illness) downgraded to questionable
Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 8:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Evan Mobley (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's matchup with Chicago.
Analysis: Mobley and Jarrett Allen were both given probable tags on Thursday, so Mobley's downgraded status on Friday suggests he's trending in the wrong direction. Allen is still listed as probable, which means he should be expected to play and handle a sizeable workload. Georges Niang and Dean Wade should see more playing time if Mobley sits. |

NBA Injury Report
Sam Merrill (left ankle soreness) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Merrill will remain sidelined for a second straight game, freeing up minutes within Cleveland's bench rotation. While Craig Porter Jr. has moved into the back end of the rotation, Caris LeVert and even Ty Jerome are better streaming options. |
|
Jarrett Allen Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley probable Friday vs. CHI
Thu, Nov 14, 2024, 11:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jarrett Allen (left lower leg strain) and Evan Mobley (illness) are probable for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Allen has been dealing with his injury for a few games but has not missed any time. The probable tag suggests Cleveland's frontcourt tag team will be available for the Cavaliers' Emirates NBA Cup group stage opener. If they cannot play, Georges Niang and Dean Wade are two players whose fantasy values would increase. |
