Georges Niang Latest News
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. 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, and he has tallied 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. 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.
Getting spot start sans Mobley
Niang will start Friday's game against the Bulls, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports. 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.
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. 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.
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. 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. Niang has totaled just 14 points and six rebounds through Clevleand's first four postseason games. He's averaging 18.5 minutes per game.
Leads Cavs in scoring Sunday
Niang posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets. Niang saw an increased role on offense Sunday with the Cavaliers resting multiple players including Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Darius Garland (back). Niang hit on four threes for the 10th time of the season as he led Cleveland in scoring. He finishes his first regular season with the Cavaliers averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 22.3 minutes per contest while playing all 82 games.
Hits three triples in win
Niang closed with nine points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Pacers. Niang did his thing, connecting on three triples as the Cavaliers secured a crucial victory. The two steals were a nice bonus, but not something managers should be expecting. While he has established himself as a consistent part of the rotation in Cleveland, he has no sustainable fantasy value.
Pops for 17 off bench
Niang supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes off the bench during Monday's 115-92 win over the Hornets. The 30-year-old forward had his best scoring performance from the second unit since he erupted for 33 points against the Bucks on Jan. 17, and the five made three-pointers tied his season high. Prior to Sunday, Niang had started nine straight games while Evan Mobley was out with an ankle injury and averaged 30.1 minutes over that stretch. While his workload has taken a step back on the bench, he still figures to have a big role in the Cleveland frontcourt.
