Evan Mobley - Not listed on injury report Mobley (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Mobley sat out Friday's win over Charlotte -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left calf injury management. However, he's set to return to action Sunday. The big man returned from a seven-game absence in Thursday's win over Brooklyn, during which he supplied 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes.

Craig Porter Jr. - Falls out of rotation Porter (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 118-113 win over the Hornets.

Impact Porter didn't end up playing for non-injury-related reasons for the first time since Dec. 25, as the Cavaliers opted to go with Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant as the ninth and 10th men in the rotation rather than using the 25-year-old guard. Cleveland should get Evan Mobley (calf) back for its next game Sunday in Oklahoma City, and Max Strus (foot) could also be cleared to make his season debut at some point further down the road. With that in mind, it's difficult to envision Porter reclaiming regular minutes anytime soon while the Cleveland roster is at close to full strength.

James Harden - Dishes eight dimes vs. Charlotte Harden recorded 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes during the Cavaliers' 118-113 win over the Hornets on Friday.

Impact Harden continues to serve as the leading distributor for his new team, but he also helped close things out with seven points in the fourth quarter. He has fit seamlessly into the Cavaliers' offense since being acquired from the Clippers in early February, as he's taken a backseat to Donovan Mitchell in the scoring category. Through the first five games of his tenure with the Cavaliers, Harden is averaging 18.4 points, 8.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals over 31.8 minutes per game.

Jarrett Allen - Posts another double-double Allen logged 26 points (11-15 FG, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during the Cavaliers' 118-113 win over the Hornets on Friday.

Impact It was another dominant performance from Allen, who grabbed seven of his game-high 14 rebounds on the offensive glass while finishing as the Cavaliers' second-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (32 points). Allen is up to 15 double-doubles on the season, six of which have come over his last seven outings. Over that seven-game span, the veteran center has averaged 23.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks over 29.0 minutes per game.

Donovan Mitchell - Leads Cavs with 32 points Friday Mitchell tallied 32 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-13 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes during the Cavaliers' 118-113 win over the Hornets on Friday.

Impact It wasn't the most efficient night from the field for Mitchell, but the All-Star guard helped the Cavaliers close out the victory with 13 points in the fourth quarter. He was more active in getting to the charity stripe as he attempted double-digit free throws for the eighth time this season, with his 12 makes being his most in a game since Nov. 13 against the Raptors (15). Mitchell should continue to be the Cavaliers' No. 1 scoring option, as recent acquisition James Harden serves more as a facilitator.

Darius Brown - Lands two-way deal Brown signed a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Brown joined the Cavaliers on an Exhibit 10 deal in the preseason but didn't make the regular-season roster. He'll now join Cleveland on a two-way pact after the club waived Emanuel Miller. Brown has appeared in 34 G League outings with the Cleveland Charge this season, during which he has averaged 12.4 points, 9.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 33.5 minutes per tilt. He will likely spend most of his time with the Charge going forward.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Good to go Friday Tomlin (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Tomlin will shake off his probable tag due to left calf soreness and suit up in the second half of this back-to-back set. Over five February appearances, the 25-year-old forward has averaged 7.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 17.2 minutes per tilt.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sam Merrill - Starting sans Mobley Merrill will start Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact With Evan Mobley (calf) sitting out the second half of this back-to-back set, Merrill will step into the starting five. As a starter this season (22 games), the sharpshooter has averaged 14.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.6 minutes per contest.
