Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is at Tuesday morning's shootaround. Out since late December after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on his right knee, the 26-year-old would appear to be on the right side of questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers as Atlanta continues their six-game homestand. Over 22 games without Hunter this season, Saddiq Bey has averaged 13.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.5 threes but would lose fantasy appeal upon Hunter's return.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Lakers. It's the first time he's earned the questionable tag after undergoing a procedure on his right knee last month and missing 19 games. Hunter's return will be bad news for Saddiq Bey, who will likely have to relinquish his starting job. However, that might not happen immediately as Hunter could be limited in his first outings following the long layoff.

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.
