  • Evan Mobley comes away with game-saving block
    Evan Mobley posted a full line on Tuesday with 14 points (7-of-11 FGs), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks against Orlando in Game 5.

    Advice: With Jarrett Allen sidelined with a rib contusion, Evan Mobley was the primary center for this game. He has had a solid series, but Allen has been more dominant down low. However, this was a golden opportunity for Mobley to shine, and he ended up securing the win by blocking a layup attempt from Franz Wagner with just a few seconds left. He posted a full stat line and made numerous plays down the stretch that resulted in the win. It’s unclear if Allen will be back for Game 6 on Friday, but if he remains out, the Cavs should be confident with Mobley at center. Rotoworld Today, 8:02 pm
     
  • Joel Embiid records triple-double in Game 5 win
    Joel Embiid recorded a triple-double on Tuesday with 19 points (7-of-19 FGs), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, five blocks, one triple and nine turnovers in Game 5 against New York.

    Advice: Embiid has clearly been playing through injuries throughout the series, and it showed with his performance in this game. It wasn’t all bad, and he was still able to make some big plays late. The triple-double also helps make his night look a little better, but the poor shooting and plethora of turnovers were more indicative of his performance. Still, they were able to steal a win on the road, which shifts the series back to Philly for Game 6. They will still have to win another game in New York to win the series, and if they want to do that, Embiid will have to be better, even if he’s hurting. Rotoworld Today, 7:16 pm

    Allen (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a right rib contusion he suffered in Game 4. Isaac Okoro will replace him in the starting lineup, with Damian Jones and Tristan Thompson candidates to receive increased playing time off the bench. Allen's next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:35 pm
     
  • Jarrett Allen ruled out, Isaac Okoro to start
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Game 5 on Tuesday against the Magic, which will allow Isaac Okoro to start in his place.

    Advice: With Allen sidelined, Evan Mobley will shift over to center, with Okoro entering the starting unit. Mobley has had a solid series, but he’ll have to really step up with Allen out of the rotation. Tristan Thompson will likely also be forced into extra minutes behind Mobley.

  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 5 Tues.
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson is back after missing Sunday’s Game 4 victory. He will occupy his usual place in the rotation, serving as Isaiah Hartenstein’s backup. How much Robinson plays remains to be seen, especially with the OG Anunoby/Precious Achiuwa tandem being so effective in defending Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter of Game 4.
