Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (jaw) was with the team as Wednesday morning's shootaround wrapped up, and he was wearing a starter's practice jersey. Garland intends to return to game action and appears to be on the verge of ending an absence lasting a month and a half due to a fractured jaw, but he remains formally listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The 24-year-old star point guard is averaging 20.7 points on 47.0% field-goal shooting, 5.9 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.6 steals through 20 games this year for the surging Cavs. Assuming Garland returns to Cleveland's starting five if available on Wednesday, look for swingman Isaac Okoro to revert back to the second unit.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (jaw), who has been out since Dec. 14 with a fractured jaw, plans to return on Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons. The Cavs are 10-2 in the new year and are set to return to full strength with Evan Mobley and now Garland back in the starting five. The 24-year-old All-Star is averaging 20.7 points, 5.9 assists, 1.8 treys, and 1.6 steals across 20 games and is likely to face a minute restriction when he returns, while Isaac Okoro should move back to Cleveland's bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) popped up on the injury report as probable for their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar shooting guard hasn't missed a game since December 27 and it would be surprising if he was downgraded from a probable status. Mitchell has taken on a big chunk of the offensive responsibilities with Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee) out for extended periods. He should be in fantasy lineups regardless of the league format as long as he's healthy. If he does get downgraded, Max Strus and Caris LeVert would get big-time bumps in opportunities and would both be very good streaming options.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The up-and-coming big man hasn't played since December 6 after undergoing a knee surgery that was slated to keep him out for six to eight weeks. On Friday, reports came out that he could return in a week, so this would even be ahead of time according to that timetable. If he returns, it would likely be on a minute restriction which would limit his fantasy value in the short term. Jarrett Allen would also see the biggest hit in value with Mobley returning to the front court.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) went through knee surgery after getting hurt in their game against the Orlando Magic on December 6. Since then, he's missed 21 consecutive games, but he's been progressing in the right direction. He's now been able to pass a lot of the steps needed to get back on the court and he's continuing to ramp up his intensity in practice according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. His return could potentially happen next week, but it would likely mean Mobley gets a minute restriction as well. If he is able to return, it would likely affect Jarrett Allen's fantasy value. He's been excellent while Mobley has been out, but his presence is likely to take away some scoring, boards, and even blocks.
