Mobley had a game-high 34 points (14-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 134-122 victory over the Mavericks.
Mobley played just 30 minutes, but still had a monster game while leading the Cavaliers to their ninth straight win. The 23-year-old center has come into his own and has proven to be a dominant player that can fill the stat sheet. He did a little bit of everything scoring 34 points on 21 shots, grabbing 10 rebounds, dishing out four assists and hitting three 3-pointers. Mobley is having his best season under new coach Kenny Atkinson.
Garland likely would've had a double-double in this one if he played more than the 29 minutes he did due to the lopsided score. Teammate Evan Mobley took the lead scoring with 34 points so Garland ended up only taking 12 shots, but he was efficient with 16 points. He also had just one turnover to his nine assists and was +24 in the 12-point win. Garland has been a top-15 fantasy player on a per game basis this year.
Fantasy managers have grown accustomed to Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen recording double-doubles this season. However, it was Wade who did the honors on Monday night. A double-digit scorer in three of his last four outings, the Cavaliers forward recorded his first double-double of the season, including a season-high 13 rebounds. With Max Strus still under a minutes restriction and Isaac Okoro out, Wade will remain a starter for now. However, he's only worth consideration in extremely deep leagues, as nights like Monday have not been the norm.
He wasn't able to extend his 20-point double-double streak to three games, but Mobley was able to remain effective from beyond the arc. He has his seven 3-pointers over their last two games, and he has taken a massive shooting leap from deep this season. Mobley wasn't productive in his typically strong categories in this game, but that isn't something that managers will have to get used to. They'll have two days off before they start a four-game week in Golden State on Monday, and Mobley will look to stay hot from beyond the arc.
