Cleveland blowing out Brooklyn increased opportunities for some of the team's reserves, notably LeVert and Georges Niang. LeVert's 19 points were three shy of his season-high, and he recorded his first complete stat line (including 3-pointers) since November 13. The six triples were a season-high for LeVert, who entered Monday averaging 1.7 per game. As for Niang, he added 17 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers in 25 minutes. While the stat lines may prompt some to consider adding Niang or LeVert, the nature of Monday's game had much to do with their production.
Mobley missed Friday's game against the Wizards so the probable listing is as good of a sign as fantasy managers could hope for Monday. Neither Georges Niang or Dean Wade are good streaming options if Mobley were to miss another game.
Mobley rolled his ankle and left Sunday's game against the Heat in the first half while playing only 12 minutes. Georges Niang started the second half Sunday, but Isaac Okoro (knee) is expected back Friday. Neither Niang or Dean Wade are good streaming options even with Mobley out.
Okoro's return to the lineup coincides with Evan Mobley (ankle) not being able to play. Wade was expected to move to the bench with Okoro back, but he'll get another start in place of Mobley, with Georges Niang seeing extra minutes off the bench.
Mobley exited early from their last game, which resulted in Georges Niang starting the second half in his place. With Isaac Okoro (knee) expected to be back, there is a chance that Dean Wade remains in the starting lineup instead of Niang if Mobley is sidelined. Regardless of who starts, neither player will be worth streaming.
