Cavs Relying On Tristan Thompson In Evan Mobley's Absence Tristan Thompson has seen his role increase for the Cleveland Cavaliers after Evan Mobley went down with an injury.

Secures seven rebounds off bench Thompson racked up six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-104 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact While Thompson was unable to score in double figures for a second consecutive game Thursday, he posted his second-highest rebound total of the season as part of a well-rounded stat line. With Evan Mobley (knee) sidelined, Thompson has played double-digit minutes off the bench in seven of the Cavaliers' last eight matchups. During that time, he's averaged 5.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game.

Double-doubles off bench Thompson racked up 10 points (5-7 FG), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Monday's 104-94 loss to Orlando.

Impact Evan Mobley (knee) missed his second game in a row for Cleveland, and Jarrett Allen fouled out after just 15 minutes. Dean Wade started for Mobley and played well, but Thompson had an even bigger impact in relief of Allen with season-best marks in points (10) and rebounds (13) for his first double-double of the campaign. With Mobley's status in the air for Tuesday against the Celtics, Thompson could get another decent opportunity for minutes.

Limited again Wednesday Thompson registered one point (1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block in six minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 win over the Magic.

Impact Thompson played fewer than 10 minutes for the third straight game, continuing his disappointing season. As long as the Cavaliers are healthy, Thompson is simply too far down the pecking order to have any chance at playing meaningful minutes. Hence, there is nothing to see here in terms of fantasy value.

Minimal playing time in win Thompson is averaging 2.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.1 steals in 9.2 minutes over nine contests this season.

Impact Thompson has seemingly overtaken Damian Jones as the backup big man, as he has four games with at least 11 minutes since the turn of the month. Expect the 32-year-old center to continue his bench role behind Jarrett Allen for the foreseeable future.

Scores six off bench Thompson accumulated six points (3-4 FG) and five rebounds in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 95-89 win over the Knicks.

Impact Thompson wasn't part of the Cavaliers' rotation over the first two games of the season, but he played eight minutes during his season debut against the Pacers on Saturday and has now played double-digit minutes in back-to-back matchups. While it's been encouraging to see the veteran get some playing time, it doesn't appear as though he'll have a fantasy-relevant role during his first year back in Cleveland.
