Mobley finished with 14 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over the Magic.
While Mobley didn't shoot the ball well Sunday, his scoring contributions improved after amassing eight points in Thursday's preseason loss to the Celtics. The 25-year-old ended the 2025-26 campaign by averaging 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 blocks over 31.9 minutes per contest. Mobley's three-point percentage dipped last year, but his biggest issue is his health, with the 2021 No. 3 overall pick logging 65 games or fewer in two of the last three seasons.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Quiet outing in preseason loss
Rotowire
Mobley finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), a rebound and an assist across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Mobley saw limited opportunities on offense, attempting just five shots while Cleveland gave its starters identical playing time, but he was efficient. His limited minutes and low usage reflected preseason circumstances more than any meaningful change in his expected regular-season role, so fantasy managers shouldn't focus too much on his reduced preseason playing time.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Could benefit from new addition
Rotowire
The addition of Peyton Watson could be beneficial for Mobley if Watson's improved outside shooting carries over to Cleveland.
Watson connected on 41.1 percent of his three-pointers last season over 54 regular-season games, and having a credible floor spacer at forward will make it easier for the Cavaliers to continue playing Mobley alongside Jarrett Allen without compromising spacing around Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. Watson's defensive versatility also gives Cleveland another option for switch-heavy lineups alongside Mobley, although Watson's career-long reluctance to shoot at high volume makes his offensive fit worth monitoring.
Mobley logged 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Cavaliers were swept from the postseason following this loss, but Mobley can hold his head high after yet another impressive year. Playing in his fifth NBA campaign, Mobley appeared in 65 regular-season contests with averages of 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes per contest.
Mobley provided 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-108 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
While Mobley led the Cavs in scoring, he left a lot to be desired defensively, and his rebounding numbers were underwhelming. He finished with a minus-21 differential in the loss and accounted for more than a quarter of Cleveland's 17 total turnovers with five. The Cavs will look to avoid a series sweep in Game 4 on Monday.
