Mobley accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 36 minutes during Friday's 117-94 victory over the Wizards.
Mobley has now recorded at least four blocks in 11 career games. He's had some struggles at the free-throw line lately with a 64 percent mark over his last five games, but his fantasy managers have very little to complain about these days. He'll get a few days rest before the Cavaliers are back in action March 21.

Rotowire
Mobley produced 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 136-119 loss to the Hawks.
Mobley was coming off a 31-point, nine-rebound performance Thursday against the Nuggets, but he couldn't repeat those figures Friday and posted his lowest scoring output of the month. The ups and downs are somewhat expected with a second-year player, however, and Mobley remains an appealing fantasy asset in both season-long and dynasty formats due to his two-way upside.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Posts double-double in victory
Rotowire

Mobley is averaging 1.4 blocks per game for the season, but he's been piling up the rejections in droves of late. He's recorded at least two blocks in seven consecutive games, doing so while averaging 16.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per contest. Mobley is shooting a substandard 49 percent from the field over that seven-game stretch, so he has the upside to see his scoring output improve if he's able to maintain his current level of shot volume.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Another 20-point effort in loss
Rotowire
Mobley closed Friday's 112-100 loss to the Thunder with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 38 minutes.
Mobley notched his second straight double-double, scoring at least 20 points for the third time in his past four games. With Donovan Mitchell (groin) still sidelined, Mobley has taken it upon himself to be more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor. Seen as a potential top-50 player this season, Mobley has been unable to live up to expectations thus far. However, there is reason for optimism based on his recent play, and managers will be hoping he can maintain this momentum even when Mitchell eventually returns.

Mobley poured in 12 of his team's first 15 points during a 12-2 Cavaliers run to begin fourth quarter, with his efforts helping Cleveland cruise to a win over one of its fellow Eastern Conference contenders.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Swats four shots in narrow loss
Rotowire
Mobley finished Tuesday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, four blocks, one steal and one assist before fouling out in 37 minutes.
With frontcourt mate Jarrett Allen (illness) missing the entire second half, Mobley spent some more time at center than usual and ended up logging his most minutes in a game since Dec. 26. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft hasn't quite made the second-year leap many anticipated, but he's more or less held steady across the board in the counting-stats categories while taking a notable step forward in his efficiency. His effective field-goal percentage (56.2) and true shooting percentage (58.9) are both up four percentage points from his rookie season.
