He also chipped in across all major categories, providing the Cavaliers with energy on both ends of the floor. In 12 playoff appearances, Strus has averaged 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest.","Injury":{"Status":null,"Type":null,"Location":null,"Detail":null,"Side":null,"ReturnDate":null},"Player":{"FirstName":"Max","LastName":"Strus","Position":"F ","InjuryStatus":null,"NBAInjuryStatus":null,"Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/player/max-strus-4947","Id":"4947"},"Team":{"Name":"Cleveland Cavaliers","Nickname":"Cavaliers","Id":"11","Code":"CLE"}},{"Id":"530622","DateTime":"2026-05-14T00:43:54-07:00","LastEdited":"2026-05-14T09:33:00-07:00","Priority":"3","Headline":"Flirts with triple-double in win","Notes":"Mobley ended with 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday\u0027s 117-113 overtime victory over the Pistons in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.","Analysis":"Mobley continues to dominate on both ends of the floor, falling just short of what would have been his first triple-double of the season. At this point, Mobley has basically made Jalen Duren a non-factor, playing a massive role in what is now a 3-2 series lead. Thus far in the playoffs, Mobley has been fantastic, averaging 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals and blocks. Game 6 will be on Friday in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers will look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.","Injury":{"Status":null,"Type":null,"Location":null,"Detail":null,"Side":null,"ReturnDate":null},"Player":{"FirstName":"Evan","LastName":"Mobley","Position":"F ","InjuryStatus":null,"NBAInjuryStatus":null,"Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/player/evan-mobley-5355","Id":"5355"},"Team":{"Name":"Cleveland Cavaliers","Nickname":"Cavaliers","Id":"11","Code":"CLE"}}]}
