Mobley posted 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley's numbers often correlate with Jarrett Allen, and Allen's massive night in the paint curtailed Mobley's ability to generate a high rebounding total. Despite the competition for production in the interior, Mobley is a nightly double-double threat and should keep the race for Rookie of the Year interesting.

Mobley chipped in 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley ended a nine-game drought without a double-double, and the seven assists were a new career-high for the rookie. Since returning in late December from a four-game absence due to a hip injury and a stint in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Mobley has proceeded to regain the form he displayed earlier in the season. In the nine games following his return, Mobley is averaging 17.9 points (on 58.7 percent shooting from the field), 7.6 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.6 steals in 35.4 minutes, with a lack of three-point production (0.1 per game) and poor free-throw shooting (60 percent on 3.3 attempts per game) being the only blemishes on his statistical profile.

Mobley notched 17 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 109-108 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley finished one point behind both Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love for high-scoring honors on the team, and he complemented his point total with solid contributions as a rebounder and passer. Mobley also swatted two shots in the win, and he has notched multiple blocks five of his past seven contests. Mobley is solidly in contention for Rookie of the Year honors with per-game averages of 14.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks.

Mobley finished with 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 96-82 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley has scored in double digits in every game since returning from a four-game stint in COVID-19 protocols, but this was his worst performance in that seven-game stretch, both from an efficiency and a productivity perspective. The rookie is averaging 15.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Mobley notched 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 114-101 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie continues to look like perhaps the best and most all-around impactful player in the 2021 class, and he's been a major linchpin in the Cavs' surprising campaign. Since returning from a four-game absence on Dec. 28, Mobley is up to 19.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 blocks per game across six appearances.

Mobley closed with 24 points (11-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is coming into his own after putting together an excellent month of December, where he averaged 14.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 blocked shots over 11 games. His consistent usage puts him squarely in contention for Rookie of the Year, giving presumed favorite Cade Cunningham a run for his money.

Mobley posted 16 points (8-12 FG), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 36 minutes during Friday's 121-118 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old big man continues his impressive rookie campaign and came up just one dime short of matching his career high. In his past three games since returning from protocols, he's averaged 19.7 points on 61.4 percent shooting, 6.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 blocks in 32.7 minutes.

Mobley totaled 21 points (10-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Though Kevin Love started in place of Jarrett Allen (COVID-19 protocols) and led Cleveland in both points and rebounds, Mobley had a solid game of his own, exceeding the 20-point mark for the second straight contest. The rookie also notched his 13th contest of the campaign with multiple blocked shots. Mobley leads all first-year players with 48 blocks on the season, and his 1.8 swats per contest is tied for seventh in the NBA.

Mobley amassed 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and seven rebounds in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 108-104 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley did enough in his return Tuesday but delivered nothing outside of points and rebounds. Obviously, this should be viewed as more of an outlier given the fact he is averaging a combined 2.5 defensive stats per game. The fact he played 30 minutes is a real positive and so fantasy managers should have no hesitation getting him back in their active lineups.

Mobley (conditioning) will start Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mobley was considered a game-time decision Tuesday after clearing the health and safety protocols, and his conditioning is apparently good enough to allow him to retake the court. The 20-year-old could still face some workload limitations since he hasn't seen game action since Dec. 13, but he should still see plenty of minutes for the Cavs in his return.
