Friday's blowout win was a routine night at the office for the Cavaliers' big men, with Mobley playing 27 minutes and Jarrett Allen (10 points, 10 rebounds, and two steals) playing 25. First-year head coach Kenny Atkinson vowed to unlock Mobley's full potential, and that approach has made the fourth-year big a top-25 player in 9-cat formats. Meanwhile, Allen continues to provide top-50 value starting alongside Mobley. On Saturday, they'll face a Joel Embiid-less 76ers squad to end Week 8.
Wade moves into the starting lineup with Isaac Okoro sidelined with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. However, his fantasy value may not receive much of a boost, as Max Strus will make his season debut off the bench. The other four starters are unchanged.
Allen had a solid night at the office, making all five field goal attempts and providing solid value in rebounds, assists, and steals. While he remains a top 50 player in 9-cat formats for the season, Allen's recent decrease in scoring has negatively impacted his value. Averaging 11.5 points per game, he's ranked just outside the top 100 over the past two weeks.
After sitting out Friday's win over the Wizards, Mobley is back in the lineup. His return means Dean Wade will come off the bench, eliminating most of his fantasy value. That's the lone change to the Cavaliers' starting five.
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.
