Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says center Evan Mobley (knee) is no longer on a minutes restriction. Following mid-December arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Mobley missed a month and half of action but has averaged 15.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.9 combined steals plus blocks in 25.8 minutes during nine games since Jan. 29 while notching third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues across this stretch. The 22-year-old star big man draws a tough matchup against the Orlando Magic on Thursday, and despite this clash pitting two top-five defenses against each other, he will be worthy of DFS attention with a sub-$7,000 salary on DraftKings.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says guard Darius Garland (jaw) is no longer on a minutes restriction. Garland spent a month and a half on the shelf between December and January with a fractured jaw, and the 24-year-old All-Star is averaging just 12.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 1.3 threes in 26.9 minutes over his last nine games since returning. Garland next gets the Orlando Magic, and although the matchup features the lowest implied point total (216.5) on Thursday's 12-game slate, he will be a DraftKings value option with his salary south of $6,000 for the first time this year.

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (groin) says he will play on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. VanVleet has overcome a strained left groin following a five-game absence prior to the All-Star break. It's unclear if FVV will carry a minutes restriction on Thursday, but he'll be a shaky DFS play against a Pelicans squad that sits sixth in the league in opponent field-goal percentage (46.5%). VanVleet still belongs in all season-long lineups, while Amen Thompson figures to revert to Houston's bench and lose fantasy appeal.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox has revealed he has been dealing with a right shoulder injury. Fox had a pair of strong outings right before the All-Star break, but he has been off his game lately, and the injury might be the reason why. However, Fox has luckily admitted that it's only a minor injury, so he's not in danger of missing any games, and hopefully, he will be back to his best soon. Fox averaged over 30 points for the first three months of the season, but his output dropped to 22.5 points in January, and he had notched 21.2 points in February before finding his stride again ahead of the break and totaling 70 points across two games.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, head coach Tom Thibodeau revealed on Tuesday. Robinson underwent surgery on his left ankle in December. Getting out of the walking boot is a positive sign of his progression, but Robinson has yet to start running, meaning it will still take time before he's ready to return to action. The Knicks big man will miss a 35th consecutive game on Thursday versus Philadelphia. Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has stepped up well as Robinson's understudy and is set to return from a three-game absence on Thursday.
