Rotowire
Mobley produced 25 points (12-16 FG, 1-1 FT) and five rebounds in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 134-110 victory over the Lakers.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Leads Cavs in season-opening win
Rotowire
Mobley notched 25 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 136-106 victory over the Raptors.
Mobley was expected to take on a bigger role on offense this season, and while one game isn't enough to draw any meaningful conclusions, the fact that he led the team in scoring ahead of Donovan Mitchell certainly stands out. Mobley averaged 15.7 points and 9.4 rebounds per game across 50 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, and it wouldn't be surprising if he tops those numbers in 2024-25, particularly if his usage rate increases in comparison to previous years.
Mobley finished with 15 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-12 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks across 35 minutes in Friday's 139-137 preseason loss to the Cavaliers.
Mobley finished just two assists away from recording a triple-double, so it's safe to say he's ready for the start of the regular season. The big man is expected to play a prominent role for the Cavaliers on both ends of the court while logging over 30 minutes per game, so he should have a decent floor in most fantasy formats as a regular starter and two-way threat on a contending team.

Mobley has seen his blocks per game average drop over the first three years of his career, but that area of his game appears to be a point of emphasis again, as he's now registered seven blocks across his two preseason outings. Mobley shot a career-high 58.0 percent from the field during the 2023-24 regular season and averaged 15.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals across 30.6 minutes per game over 50 contests.

No Cleveland starter played more than 19 minutes, but Mobley was by far the most efficient and effective of the group in the team's preseason opener. The 23-year-old big man has yet to have a true breakout campaign, but he shot a career-high 58.0 percent from the floor in 2023-24 despite being limited to only 50 regular-season games due to injuries. If he can stay healthy, Mobley could be ready to take a big step forward.
