The Cavs would be headed for the Play-In Tournament if the season ended today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cavs went 51-31 last season and secured the #4 playoff seed, but the #5 New York Knicks eliminated them in the first round.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cavs entered this season with a projected win total of 50.5 over\/under. After a sluggish start, oddsmakers adjusted their win total to 46.5 o\/u.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobley_Knee_Injury_Opts_for_Surgery\"><\/span>Mobley Knee Injury: Opts for Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mobley was sidelined with a left knee injury in early December. His ailing knee hasn\u2019t improved with rest, and he\u2019s still experiencing discomfort. He\u2019s undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his left knee.<\/p>\n<p>Mobley will miss six to eight weeks and hopes to return before the All-Star Break in February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 21 games this season, Mobley averaged 16.0 points and a career-high 10.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. He also shot a career-best 57% from the floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cavs selected Mobley out of USC with the third-overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, setting him up for a promising rookie season. Scottie Barnes from the Toronto Raptors narrowly edged out Mobley in the 2022 NBA Rookie of the Year, voting in one of the closest races in the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>Mobley is the third-best scorer on the Cavs. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff will rely on forwards Dean Wade and Georges Niang to fill in for Mobley in the rotation. Niang averages 7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game off the bench. Wade has been starting in place of Mobley, but he only averages 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guard_Drama_Garland_Out_Spida_Trade_Rumor\"><\/span>Guard Drama: Garland Out, \u2018Spida\u2019 Trade Rumor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Garland suffered a face injury on Thursday night in a loss against the Boston Celtics. X-rays revealed a fractured jaw. He will be evaluated in four weeks and could be out until February.<\/p>\n<p>Garland started 22 games at shooting guard for the Cavs this season. He\u2019s the second-best scorer on the team, averaging 20.7 points and 5.9 assists per game.<\/p>\n<p>The Cavs selected Vanderbilt\u2019s Garland with the #5 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He averaged 21.6 points per game for the Cavs in the previous two seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cavs will rely on Max Strus (13.6 ppg), Caris LeVert (15.2 ppg), and Sam Merrill (3.7 ppg) to fill in for Garland at shooting guard.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, point guard Donovan \u201cSpida\u201d Mitchell isn\u2019t happy in Cleveland and could get traded for the second time since last summer. The Utah Jazz traded Mitchell to the Cavs before the start of last season when they outbid the New York Knicks.<\/p>\n<p>The next month of the season without Garland and Mobley could determine Mitchell\u2019s future in Cleveland. If the Cavs slide out of playoff contention, they could deal Mitchell at the trade deadline in February.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, and Miami Heat have all been linked to Mitchell in different trade rumors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cavs_on_the_Futures_Market\"><\/span>Cavs on the Futures Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Cavs occupy third place in the Central Division behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/milwaukee-bucks-odds-futures-bump-damian-lillard-trade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> (19-7) and the upstart Indiana Pacers (13-11), who recently lost in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/nba-cup-la-lakers-indiana-pacers-in-season-tournament-final-vegas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA Cup Finals<\/a> in Las Vegas.
