Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-double in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Mobley registered 22 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to the Celtics.
The Cavs were finally handed their first loss of the season, but it was through no fault of Mobley's as the fourth-year big collected his sixth double-double in 15 appearances. Improved efficiency at the free-throw line has the 23-year-old on track to set a new career high with 18.4 points per game -- he's shooting 83.3 percent from the charity stripe, a huge jump from the 71.9 percent mark he posted in 2023-24.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Records double-double
Rotowire
Mobley provided 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 119-113 victory over Chicago.
Mobley notched back-to-back double-doubles for the first time this season and now has four on the year, and his two-way contributions have been pivotal as the Cavaliers remain undefeated through the first three weeks of the regular season. Mobley has been extremely consistent on offense as well, and he's scored at least 15 points in his last five outings while shooting 56.3 percent from the field in that span.
Mobley contributed 23 points (10-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 win over Brooklyn.
Mobley scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but this game could easily go down as his best performance to date in 2024-25. Mobley missed just one of his 11 shots from the field, and the 16-rebound haul was a season-high mark in that category. Donovan Mitchell remains the undisputed leader on offense for the Cavaliers, but Mobley has done enough through the first two weeks of the regular season to emerge as the No. 2 option -- even ahead of Darius Garland.

Mobley closed with 15 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 29 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 131-122 victory over the Pelicans.
It's the sixth time in the Cavaliers' first nine games that Mobley has delivered multiple rejections, and it's perhaps not a coincidence that the team is 9-0. The fourth-year big appears headed for a career-best campaign, posting personal bests so far in points (17.3), blocks (1.9) and three-pointers (0.7) per game while adding 8.2 boards, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals.

The big man struggled from the field Monday, though he tied his season high in blocks against Milwaukee. Mobley's ability to stuff the stat sheet has made him a valuable asset across fantasy formats, and he has also shot 53.8 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from deep while averaging a career-high 1.9 attempts per game.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Extends impressive start to season
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.
Mobley has been one of the best big men in the league during the first week of the regular season. The fact that he finished with 25 points despite logging a mere 19 minutes goes to show how dominant and efficient he was in this contest while having to deal with the frontcourt of Rui Hachimura and Anthony Davis. Mobley has been productive on both ends of the court, averaging 19.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest in his first five appearances.

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.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Hits for 19 against Chicago
Rotowire
Mobley scored 19 points (9-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding six rebounds, three blocks and an assist in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Bulls.
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.
