Just misses double-double Monday Niang closed Monday's 130-101 victory over the Nets with 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes off the bench.

Impact The veteran forward nearly produced his first double-double since April 13, 2021, when he was a member of the Jazz. Niang has been one of the pillars of Cleveland's second unit this season, scoring in double digits in eight of the last 13 games while averaging 10.3 points, 4.7 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.5 assists in 22.9 minutes a contest.

Steps up with 15 points off bench Niang supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 loss to the Heat.

Impact With the Cavaliers losing starting power forward Evan Mobley in the first half to a sprained ankle, Niang started the second half and stepped up off the bench for an efficient 15 points. In his past five outings, the sharpshooting Niang is averaging 10.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per game while shooting a strong 56.4 percent from long range. While Mobley will have five days to recover before Cleveland's next scheduled game Friday against the Wizards, Niang would be a candidate to join the starting lineup at the four and receive an uptick in minutes if Mobley is unable to play by then.

Solid showing on boards Niang posted eight points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 135-124 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Niang finished the night third on his team in boards behind Evan Mobley (12 rebounds) and Jarrett Allen (10 rebounds) despite seeing far fewer opportunities. The 31-year-old has been a noticeable contributor off the bench of late, scoring in double figures in four of his of his last six appearances while averaging 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists over this stretch.

Spark off bench in 20-point outing Niang amassed 20 points (6-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Niang gave Cleveland a needed lift off the bench Wednesday, leading all Cavaliers in scoring while ending second on the team in threes made in a 20-point showcase. Niang posted new season-high marks in scoring and threes made, tallying at least 10 points with three or more threes in four contests this year.

Drops 14 points in spot start Niang provided 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 144-126 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Niang made his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday due to Evan Mobley being sidelined with an illness. Niang finished two rebounds shy from his first double-double of the season and connected on four threes, which was second-most on the Cavaliers behind Donovan Mitchell (seven). Niang could make a second straight start Sunday against the Hornets if Mobley is still feeling under the weather.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting spot start sans Mobley Niang will start Friday's game against the Bulls, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

Impact With Evan Mobley (illness) sidelined, Niang will make his first start of the season. Niang made 10 starts for the Cavaliers last season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.9 minutes during those games.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 26 minutes Niang ended Monday's 116-114 win over the Bucks with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact Caris LeVert (knee) and Dean Wade (illness) joined Max Strus (ankle) on the sidelines, allowing Niang to play a season-high 26 minutes off the bench. The veteran won't shock people with his production, but he's a solid depth piece that can get hot from deep, which he did Monday night. Niang has two games with at least a trio of made three-pointers this season, but he's shooting just 23.8 percent from deep in his other six appearances.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Offers little in victory Friday Niang accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and five rebounds across 15 minutes during Friday's 113-101 win over the Pistons.

Impact Niang didn't produce anything of note despite playing what could be considered meaningful minutes. Although he figures to touch the floor on most nights, Niang's fantasy upside is very limited. Outside of some streaming appeal, managers are within their rights to ignore him across just about every format.

Non-factor in loss Niang notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to Orlando in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Niang has totaled just 14 points and six rebounds through Clevleand's first four postseason games. He's averaging 18.5 minutes per game.
