Top Cavaliers News

  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-doubles in loss

    Mobley had 18 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 loss to the Warriors.

    Mobley delivered an abysmal performance from beyond the arc, though he still finished as Cleveland's second-leading scorer. The big man was also active on the glass, securing his third consecutive double-double and 12th on the season. Additionally, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year chipped in at least one block for a fourth straight game and is averaging 1.7 swats per tilt through 24 regular-season outings.

  • Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Double-doubles in defeat

    Tyson recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 loss to the Warriors.

    Tyson got the starting nod for a fifth consecutive contest with several of Cleveland's key contributors remaining on the shelf. While the second-year swingman struggled from beyond the arc, he still scored in double figures for a fifth straight game. Additionally, he grabbed 11 boards, securing his second double-double on the campaign, both of which have come in his last four outings. He has also been efficient from the field of late, shooting 56.7 percent from the floor over his last five games.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Leads Cleveland in loss

    Mitchell registered 29 points (11-26 FG, 7-14 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 loss to the Warriors.

    Mitchell wasn't shy about hunting his shot Saturday and ended two field-goal attempts short of matching his season-high mark. He knocked down at least seven triples for the third time this season. The star guard led all players in points and has now racked up at least 28 in four consecutive games to kick off December. Over that stretch, he has averaged 33.3 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game.

  • Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Not starting Saturday

    Tomlin won't start against the Warriors on Saturday.

    With Darius Garland (toe) back in action, Tomlin will slide to the second unit against Golden State. Over his last five outings off the bench, the second-year forward has averaged 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 21.6 minutes per game.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Out for Saturday

    Proctor (personal) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.

    Proctor will miss his second straight game due to personal reasons Saturday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards. The rookie is not a large enough part of the rotation in Cleveland for his absence from the active roster to impact fantasy leagues.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Still out

    Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

    Merrill hasn't played since Nov. 17, when he dropped 20 points (7-10 FG) in 28 minutes during a 118-106 win over the Bucks. It's unclear when he'll suit up next, but he'll have a few days off before the Cavaliers return to action during their NBA Cup consolation schedule.

  • Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Out Saturday

    Ball (knee/rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

    As expected, Ball will take a seat for the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back set after posting two points (1-2 FG), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 22 minutes during a 130-117 win over the Spurs on Friday. The point guard should return to action next week during Cleveland's NBA Cup consolation schedule.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Ready to roll Saturday

    Garland (toe) isn't listed on Cleveland's injury report for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

    As expected, Garland will return to action Saturday after sitting out the first half of Cleveland's back-to-back set -- a convincing win over the Spurs on Friday. The star point guard has appeared in only eight games this season, averaging 13.6 points, 6.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per contest.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Passive performance in win

    Hunter posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Friday's 130-117 win over San Antonio.

    Hunter logged just 21 minutes as he dealt with some early foul issues, scoring fewer than 15 points for the fourth straight game. After a strong start to the season, Hunter's production has regressed of late, averaging 12.5 points and 1.8 three-pointers in six games over the past two weeks. He is worth holding in most leagues, given the potential scoring upside. However, his overall fantasy game remains limited, meaning he could be a drop candidate in very specific situations.

  • Cavaliers' Luke Travers: Rare appearance Friday

    Travers finished Friday's 130-117 victory over the Spurs with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 10 minutes.

    Travers logged double-digit minutes for just the fifth time this season, taking advantage of some early foul trouble. While it is always good to see depth pieces getting a crack, there is nothing to see here in terms of potential fantasy value.

  • Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Goes for 24 points in win

    Tyson amassed 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 130-117 victory over the Spurs.

    Tyson continues to play out of his skin, scoring at least 24 points for the second time in the past three games. As long as the Cavaliers are dealing with at least one injury, it appears as though Tyson will be the beneficiary, much like Ty Jerome last season. In seven games over the past two weeks, Tyson has been a top-60 player, averaging 16.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He is worth rostering in all formats, at least until the roster is healthy.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores 28 points with eight assists

    Mitchell racked up 28 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 130-117 win over the Spurs.

    According to Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mitchell appeared to tweak something in his right hand during the game. While he was able to play through it, this could result in Mitchell being added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors. If he does need to skip the second leg of this back-to-back set, Darius Garland would be asked to step it up on offense and there would be more minutes available for Craig Porter.

  • Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Starting Friday

    Tomlin is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Spurs, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Joining Tomlin in the starting unit for Friday's game will be Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, De'Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley. In Tomlin's previous start this season during a Nov. 19 loss to Houston, he finished with 10 points and two rebounds over 20 minutes.

  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Will play Friday

    Mobley (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Mobley was a late addition to Cleveland's injury report due to an illness, though he'll shed his questionable tag Friday. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old big man has averaged 19.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocks across 33.4 minutes per contest.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Under the weather

    Mobley has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.

    Mobley presumably woke up under the weather and is now in danger of missing Friday's game after not being listed on the initial injury report. Jarrett Allen (finger) and Larry Nance (calf) have already been ruled out, so if Mobley joins them on the sidelines, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Thomas Bryant, Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson would be candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt. Mobley was not present at Cleveland's morning shootaround, per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Out for personal reasons

    Proctor is out for Friday's game against the Spurs for personal reasons.

    The rookie second-rounder will be away from the team for at least one contest. Proctor has a quick turnaround if he wants to rejoin Cleveland for Saturday's showdown with the Warriors. With Darius Garland getting the night off Friday, Craig Porter could see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in deeper formats.
