Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota. After missing 32 games last season, the 23-year-old has been sidelined for just two contests during the 2024-25 campaign. Not only that, he's also had the best year of his career, averaging 18.6 points with 8.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks while shooting 42.1% from deep. If Mobley doesn't suit up, Max Strus could find himself back in the starting lineup, with Dean Wade sliding over to the four spot. Georges Niang would presumably also see more action, giving all three players a bump in fantasy potential on Saturday. However, Mobley's absence will likely benefit Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Jarrett Allen the most.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) is probable for Saturday's game in Boston. The 27-year-old was sidelined for recent meetings with Phoenix and Chicago due to foot soreness. Fortunately, it appears a two-game stint on the shelf is all that is needed for him to get back out there for the matchup with the Celtics. Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has a chance to return for this one. However, Hunter will still likely draw the start in place of Zaccharie Risacher (adductor), who remains out with an adductor strain. With that in mind, the Celtics have allowed 108.4 points per game this season, the sixth-best mark in the National Basketball Association, meaning anyone on the offensive end for the Hawks may not be as productive as usual. Still, Hunter is a capable fantasy starter for redraft managers, although his DFS value is limited because of the tough matchup on the horizon.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) will be in the lineup against Oklahoma City on Thursday. He has missed two games due to an illness, but Cleveland has upgraded Jerome from questionable to available. The 27-year-old has been a valuable bench contributor this season for the Cavaliers, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals with 41.2 percent shooting from deep. Jerome notched 15 points and a pair of steals in just 12 minutes as Cleveland defeated the Thunder 129-122 last week.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City. An illness has kept him sidelined for a pair of games, and Jerome might also be forced to miss a meeting with his former team. Caris LeVert and Max Strus have carried the bench with Jerome out. However, they have been inconsistent and face a tricky matchup on Thursday as the Cavaliers go up against the league's top defense.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) will remain out on Wednesday against Chicago. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix and hasn't shaken off foot soreness in 24 hours. The Hawks will be without their three top scorers on Wednesday, so players like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Garrison Mathews, and Vit Krejci are expected to take on more offensive duties. They have a chance to impress in a highly favorable matchup, as the Bulls allow the second-most points in the league.
