Could miss up to three weeks
Mobley (calf) is expected to miss at least one week, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.
Analysis
Mobley has been diagnosed with a strained left calf, and the star big man could be sidelined for as many as three weeks. With the All-Star break looming in the middle of February, it's possible that the Cavaliers will exercise caution with Mobley. In the meantime, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade will all be asked to step up in the frontcourt.

Nears double-double Monday
Mobley posted 20 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during the Cavaliers' 114-98 win over the Magic on Monday.
Analysis
Mobley co-led the Cavaliers in rebounds Monday and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (45 points). Mobley has recorded at least two blocks in six of his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 17.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.8 blocks over 34.4 minutes per game while connecting on 51.3 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Needs 14 shots to score 13 points
Mobley ended Saturday's 119-105 win over the Magic with 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes.
Analysis
While Mobley shot a respectable 37 percent from distance over his previous two seasons, he's struggled mightily from beyond the arc this year, converting just 30.9 percent of his three-point attempts. The shooting woes have been especially pronounced since December, as Mobley has gone 14-for-68 from deep over that span. He's still attempting 3.1 triples per game, suggesting the 24-year-old forward hasn't backed off despite the prolonged slump.

Nears triple-double in win
Mobley closed with 29 points (13-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists and four blocks across 35 minutes in Friday's 123-118 win over Sacramento.
Analysis
Mobley matched his season highs in points and assists while also pulling down double-digit rebounds in a win. The big night came after the power forward entered Friday averaging 16.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.2 steals over his past 10 games. With Cleveland falling short of expectations so far this season, performances like this -- especially the added scoring punch -- would be a welcome development moving forward.

Double-doubles, rejects three shots
Mobley logged 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, one steal and three blocks across 35 minutes of Wednesday's 94-87 win over Charlotte.
Analysis
Mobley's 14 rebounds tied his season high and were his most since Nov. 30. Additionally, he blocked at least three shots for the fourth time in five games. During that five-game stretch, he's averaging 15.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 blocks. Mobley has 16 double-doubles this season.
