Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Poor shooting display
Rotowire
Mobley ended Friday's 133-122 loss to the Pistons with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 33 minutes.
Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland posted solid numbers across the board in this loss Friday, but Mobley was one player who disappointed. The star forward had a rough showing on offense, and he also failed to make an impact in secondary categories, with perhaps the two blocks being the only figure that stood out from his overall fantasy line. Mobley is having a career-best season in 2024-25, but he's been turning things in the opposite direction of late. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 17.5 points per game while shooting 34.8 percent from three-point range.

Mobley made his presence felt on both ends of the court and finished with a loaded stat line, although what stands out the most is the fact that he recorded a double-double for the third time across his last five appearances. One of the Cavaliers' most reliable go-to options on offense all season long, Mobley is enjoying a career-best season, and his consistency has been hard to match.

This was the first time that Mobley didn't reach the 15-point mark since before the All-Star break, but given how good he's been all season long, he's not expected to struggle on a steady basis going forward.
