Darius Garland

Mobley will miss a second straight game due to his calf injury, which is now considered a strain (it was described as soreness for Saturday's win against Minnesota). Caris LeVert started against the Timberwolves and was far more impactful defensively, with reserves Georges Niang and Ty Jerome picking up the slack offensively. LeVert should get another start, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations when he plays alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Garland finished with 29 points (8-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 victory over Minnesota.

With Evan Mobley (calf) sidelined, LeVert was Kenny Atkinson's choice to move into the starting lineup. As has been the case in the past, he again struggled to provide reliable value when starting alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell. Georges Niang (15/10/1/1 with three 3-pointers) and Ty Jerome (15/4/4/1 with two 3-pointers) proved more valuable, so that's something for fantasy managers to be mindful of if Mobley misses Monday's game against the Suns.

Garland has been on a nice run recently, scoring 20 points or more in five straight games. Over the past two weeks, the Cavaliers point guard has provided 4th-round value in 9-cat formats. While that is slightly behind his season-long value, Garland is one of two Cavs players providing top-50 value over the past two weeks. Cleveland plays four games during Week 13.

The Cavaliers are without Evan Mobley, who is out due to a sore right calf. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by LeVert, whose fantasy value may not receive a significant boost. Playing alongside Garland and Mitchell means LeVert has even less time on the ball, limiting his upside.
