Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) will play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Allen missed Sunday's game against Indiana due to knee injury management. With several Cavs players set to miss tonight's action, Allen could see heavy frontcourt usage, making him a solid streaming option. The 27-year-old big man collected 16 points, 13 rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes of work on Thursday against Golden State.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. He returns after missing Sunday's game against Indiana. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old big man to have a heavy workload tonight, as many of his Cavs teammates are slated to sit out. Mobley finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal across 32 minutes in his last outing during Thursday's 117-108 win over Golden State.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) is slated to suit up Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Merrill is set to take the floor after missing the first leg of a back-to-back on Sunday versus Indiana. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old guard to see extended minutes and plenty of scoring opportunities tonight with star guards James Harden (personal) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) out of action.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will have the final set of a back-to-back off for left ankle maintenance after posting 38 points, six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over Indiana. His next chance to suit up is on Wednesday against Atlanta. James Harden (personal) is also sidelined, so Dennis Schroder is set for a busy evening despite seeing a limited role most recently.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden (personal) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Harden is set to sit out tonight due to personal reasons. The 38-year-old finished with 28 points, seven assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block during Sunday's 117-108 win over Indiana. His next chance to play comes on Wednesday against Atlanta. Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also have the evening off for left ankle maintenance, leaving the Cavs backcourt shorthanded. They will have to lean on Dennis Schroder and Craig Porter to take on extra minutes. The two guards have seen limited roles recently, and that will continue once Mitchell and Harden return to action.
