Niang ended with 21 points (7-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 135-131 loss to the Rockets. Niang hasn't been much of a scoring contributor this year, but each of his season-high 21 points were needed in a close loss to Houston. He led the Cavaliers with six three-pointers, which is the second time he's reached that mark this season. Niang and the Cavs will look to break out of their three-game losing streak Monday against the Pistons.

Georges Niang Latest News
Strong night off bench Saturday
Niang ended with 21 points (7-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 135-131 loss to the Rockets. Niang hasn't been much of a scoring contributor this year, but each of his season-high 21 points were needed in a close loss to Houston. He led the Cavaliers with six three-pointers, which is the second time he's reached that mark this season. Niang and the Cavs will look to break out of their three-game losing streak Monday against the Pistons.
Steps up with season-high 10 boards
Niang notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 win over the Timberwolves. With Evan Mobley sidelined with a calf injury Saturday, Niang stepped up off Cleveland's bench with his highest scoring output since Jan. 3 against Dallas to go with his first double-double of the season. Although it was sixth man Caris LeVert who drew the start for the Cavaliers in Mobley's stead, Niang may have left enough of an impression to be considered for a start if Mobley sits out Monday's game against the Suns as well. In any case, Niang should offer streaming value in fantasy leagues until Mobley is healthy.
Scores 10 points in win
Niang chipped in 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over Charlotte. Niang has reached 20 minutes just two times over his last five appearances, as the wing rotation is suddenly crowded with the return of Max Strus. Over his last five games, Niang holds averages of 8.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 18.5 minutes.
Hands out five assists
Niang notched three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 113-95 win over the Warriors. Niang took just three shots on the night but recorded a season-high five assists in the win. He's had a solid month overall, posting averages of 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes across 12 December outings.
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. 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. 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 his teammate 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. 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. 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.
