The Cleveland Cavaliers have a plethora of talent on the floor at all times, with James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen leading the way. Of course, players like Sam Merrill, Max Strus, and Jaylon Tyson are in that mix to make an impact offensively as well.

What makes the Cavs so difficult to limit is that it's literally a pick-your-poison attack from all angles. Mobley has been the beneficiary of Harden and Mitchell's threat for a whole month, averaging 20.0 points and 9.7 rebounds per game on 62.3% from the field. 

Mobley has been as aggressive and as consistent as he's been in his career, driving with purpose and picking his spots with the best of them. He was doing that primarily at the 5 or with Thomas Bryant on the floor with him in Allen's absence.

However, now that Allen is back in the fold, is it fair to expect those kinds of numbers from Mobley? With two star guards on the team and a February Player of the Month finalist, it's unlikely, but that doesn't mean he won't make a winning impact.

In an episode of Courtside with Cavs, Spencer German and I analyzed Mobley's productive month and why those stats might shrink with Cleveland getting healthier:

Evan is a fantastic basketball player. Offensively, it's gonna fluctuate because of how many players are on this team and how many mouths you need to feed. But he knows what he's doing. The footwork's been really good, especially since the calf's gotten a little bit more strength in it. You see it attack-wise and how he's going at guys. 

But again, his role is going to change. It's gonna be different [with Jarrett Allen] back because Jarrett's got to be the No. 1 priority with the way that Harden and him have that connection. So how do you keep him involved? How do you keep him engaged? You need Evan Mobley to be the best dang role player that makes the amount of money he makes to succeed. There are too many mouths to feed.

The Cavs are on the road for the next five days, with matchups against the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, and Golden State Warriors on tap. Wade and Jaylon Tyson have been officially ruled out for each of the three games as they continue to recover from ankle and toe injuries, respectively.

When the final multi-game trip of the year comes to a close, the squad will return to Cleveland for an early evening Sunday tilt against the Indiana Pacers at Rocket Arena.
