Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Probable for Friday Tomlin (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact After missing Thursday's game against the Nets, Tomlin is set to return for Cleveland. He could see an increased role as well with Evan Mobley (rest) getting the night off.

Evan Mobley - Sitting out Friday Mobley will be rested Friday against Charlotte.

Impact Mobley recorded 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 victory over Brooklyn, his first game back after sitting out seven contests in a row with a calf issue. The Cavaliers will be cautious for the second leg of this back-to-back set, opening up more minutes for guys like Dean Wade and Larry Nance.

Cavaliers fans are only now realizing what James Harden fans have known for years The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard has never been a selfish offensive player.

Dean Wade - Goes 4-for-4 in return Wade (ankle) contributed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and five rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday in the Cavaliers' 112-84 win over the Nets.

Impact The Cavaliers made room for Wade and Evan Mobley (calf) in the starting five in their returns from three- and seven-game absences, respectively, sending Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill to the bench as a result. Wade came through with an efficient shooting performance, but because the Cavaliers had amassed a 35-point lead by the end of the third quarter, head coach Kenny Atkinson rested the 29-year-old forward as well as the team's other four starters for the final period. Wade is still averaging a modest 22.7 minutes per game on the season, so he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time even in more competitive contests.

Jarrett Allen - Secures double-double in blowout Allen notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 victory over the Nets.

Impact Allen was a key contributor in Cleveland's big win. He feasted inside on his way to a double-double. The return of Evan Mobley fora strained calf did not hinder Allen's production. He now has five double-doubles in his last six games, and another test Friday against the Hornets.

Evan Mobley - Eases back into rotation Mobley logged 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Mobley had a successful return after missing seven games with a strained calf. He nearly finished with a double-double in just 19 minutes as the Cavaliers looked dominant versus the Nets. It was also his first game with new teammate James Harden. The pair will look to grow their chemistry in the games to come.

Brian Windhorst says the quiet part about Donovan Mitchell's future in Cleveland The Cleveland Cavaliers had to go to great lengths to make sure Donovan Mitchell doesn't leave town.

8 HOURS AGO • KINGJAMESGOSPEL.COM

Donovan Mitchell - Scores 17 points in 21 minutes Mitchell ended Thursday's 112-84 win over the Nets with 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes.

Impact Mitchell's 17 points is well below his season average (28.8), but still a game-high in Cleveland's blowout win over the Nets. The All-Star guard played only 21 minutes as his team led comfortably throughout. That extra rest will come in handy as the Cavaliers face Charlotte next on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

James Harden - Impresses on both ends Harden totaled 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 112-84 victory over the Nets.

Impact Harden continues to look comfortable in Cleveland after nearly posting a third consecutive double-double. It was an efficient scoring night for Harden, who also made an impact on defense with three steals. His 28 minutes were a team-high as Cleveland won big versus Brooklyn. Harden is now averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists in four games with the Cavaliers.
