Cavaliers' Georges Niang: Top scorer in 20-point outing
Georges Niang ended Sunday's 120-101 loss to the Nets with 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes.Niang led all Cleveland Cavaliers players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes to boost the team offensively in a losing effort. Niang has scored at least 20 points in two games this season, his other such outing being a season-high 33-point performance against Milwaukee on Jan. 17. Niang has been solid from deep as of late, connecting on three or more threes in four straight outings. Niang should continue to see plenty of offensive opportunities as long as Evan Mobley (ankle), Dean Wade (personal), Max Strus (knee) and Donovan Mitchell (knee) remain sidelined.

Cavaliers' Georges Niang: Stuffs stat sheet in spot start
Georges Niang supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Hawks.Niang made his second start of the season -- and first one since Nov. 1 -- due to the absence of Evan Mobley (ankle). Even though he's not expected to replicate Mobley's influence or numbers on both ends of the court, he delivered a decent performance and made his presence felt while shooting the ball efficiently from beyond the arc. Niang should remain in the starting lineup when the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Timberwolves on Friday, and he could very well remain a starter until Mobley is ready to return.
