Evan Mobley - Drops 15 in return Mobley posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Thunder.

Impact After missing the last seven games before the All-Star break with a calf strain, Mobley was also held out of Friday's contest against the Hornets on the second half of a back-to-back as he gets eased back into action. The fifth-year forward had played more than 30 minutes in 13 straight games prior to the injury, so the Cavs still appear to be keeping a close eye on his workload. Mobley might be a risky fantasy option until he's free of any restrictions.

Jarrett Allen - Double-double in Sunday's loss Allen racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact It was the 16th double-double of the season for Allen, but seven of them have come in eight February contests. On the month, the 27-year-old center is averaging 21.8 points, 12.1 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.0 minutes, but his usage is likely to take a hit now that Evan Mobley is back in action.

Sam Merrill - Strikes for 20 from second unit Merrill had 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt) and three rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With Evan Mobley back in the lineup, Merrill shifted to the second unit after starting six of the first seven games in February. The 29-year-old wing saw his usual workload off the bench, however, and on the month Merrill is averaging 13.6 points, 3.8 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.6 assists in 24.8 minutes.

Donovan Mitchell - Pops for 20 in loss Mitchell closed Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City with 20 points (9-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Three different Cavaliers tied for the team lead in scoring with 20 points, as Mitchell reached that mark for the sixth time in eight February contests. On the month, the All-Star guard is averaging 26.1 points, 6.4 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.0 steals and 2.0 threes.

1 HOUR AGO • ROTOWIRE

James Harden - Just misses double-double Sunday Harden closed Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City with 20 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.

Impact Three different Cavaliers tied for the team lead in scoring with 20 points, but Harden also led the squad in assists. It's the third time in six games since joining Cleveland that the veteran guard has scored at least 20 points, a stretch in which he's averaging 18.7 points, 8.7 assists, 5.0 boards, 2.7 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks.
