Evan Mobley DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley will sit out Thursday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Cleveland is cruising at the top of the Eastern Conference and has begun resting its key players, and it has given the team a chance to rest one of its key players in Mobley. De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade will compete for Mobley's starting position on Thursday. Wade's game doesn't translate well to fantasy, so managers should focus on Hunter, who averaged 24.5 points against the Spurs in two meetings when he was still a member of the Atlanta Hawks earlier this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (foot) will play on Tuesday versus the Clippers, barring a pregame setback. He wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Orlando Magic because of a foot injury. As a result, De'Andre Hunter entered the starting lineup, finishing with nine points and five boards. While Hunter will still see minutes from off the bench, he may have a tough time getting it done for fantasy managers with Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen on the floor.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (foot) may sit out a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, as he has been listed as questionable on the injury report. The talented big man is trying to overcome a right foot contusion. If Mobley can't return on Tuesday, De'Andre Hunter will likely remain in the first unit. He had a bad time against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, notching only nine points on 2-for-11 shooting, but it has been a good campaign for Hunter. The former Atlanta Hawk is averaging a career-high 17.6 points, despite being a starter in only eight of his 51 appearances.
