Evan Mobley Won't Suit Up Against Miami
1 year agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) is out for Friday's meeting with the Heat. The 22-year-old was listed as questionable heading into this contest. However, most had a feeling he wouldn't be out there, considering he wasn't at shootaround on Friday morning. Mobley has played well this season, averaging 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks, so there will be opportunities for others to step up, including Dean Wade, who will enter the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Wade has averaged just 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 points as a starter this season, meaning he's not a realistic streaming option in any fantasy format. Instead, Georges Niang could get additional minutes while enjoying an uptick on the scoring end, making him a better fantasy option.
