Craig Porter Jr., Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson, Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance Jr. will start Sunday’s game against the Wizards.
The Cavaliers are locked into the No. 4 seed regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s games, so most of their key contributors won’t play. The exception is Strus, and given the time he missed after undergoing offseason foot surgery, managers in active fantasy leagues should not expect to see him on the...
Cleveland CavaliersKeon Ellis (knee), Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant (calf) are out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.
While Ellis and Schröder were active for Friday’s loss to the Hawks, Bryant has missed Cleveland’s last three games with a strained calf. On the perimeter, Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor should play significant minutes, while Olivier Sarr and Tristan Enaruna should pick up rotation minutes in t...
NBA Injury ReportEvan Mobley (calf), Jarrett Allen (knee) and Dean Wade (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.
The Cavaliers will be without most of their rotation players for Sunday’s regular-season finale, as their playoff seeding is locked in. The absences in the frontcourt free up opportunities for Nae’Qwan Tomlin, who should have the ultimate green light on Sunday.
NBA Injury ReportDonovan Mitchell (ankle), James Harden (rest) and Sam Merrill (hamstring) are out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.
The Cavaliers are locked into their playoff seed, so most of the team’s key contributors will not play on Sunday. Max Strus and Jaylon Tyson aren’t on the injury report, but with both having missed time due to injury, their minutes will likely be limited against the Wizards.
NBA Injury ReportJames Harden led the Cavaliers with 20 points (6-of-13 FGs), five assists, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 124-102 loss to the Hawks on Friday.
With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) sidelined for this game, Harden was the primary source of offense for Cleveland. He did most of his work in the first half but still ended up leading the team in scoring. This was an ugly loss, but the Cavs were without multiple starters, so they were clearly fine with ...
Jaylon Tyson returned to the lineup on Friday and contributed 15 points (7-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks against the Hawks.
Following a 10-game absence with a toe injury, Tyson was back in the lineup to take on Atlanta. He was able to have a strong showing across the board in the box score, but with the Cavs shorthanded for this game, it wasn’t enough for them to get a win. Tyson got off to a strong start to this season,...
Sam Merrill (hamstring) will not play in Friday’s matchup with the Hawks.
Merrill came off the bench and logged 27 minutes in the Cavaliers’ win over the Hawks on Wednesday, draining a pair of three-pointers along the way. However, he won’t be available for the rematch, which could allow Keon Ellis and Max Strus to take on a heavier workload.
NBA Injury ReportThomas Bryant (calf) will not play on Friday against the Hawks.
Friday’s absence will mark the third straight for Bryant, who continues to battle a calf issue. The Cavs will also be without starting center Jarrett Allen, leaving their frontcourt depth fairly thin. Larry Nance Jr. could see an increase in minutes as a result of the injuries.
NBA Injury ReportJarrett Allen (knee) won’t play against the Hawks on Friday.
On the heels of a 16-point, eight-rebound performance against the Hawks on Wednesday, Allen won’t take the floor in Friday’s rematch. The veteran forward remains an important piece for Cleveland in the middle, thanks to his ability to impact the interior on both ends of the floor. In his absence, Ev...
NBA Injury ReportDean Wade, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Wade will return from a seven-game absence and make his way into the Cavs’ starting unit. The veteran forward had struggled with his three-point shot in the four games prior to the ankle injury. However, he’ll return to his floor-spacing role, with a chance to find his rhythm before the playoffs beg...
Danny CunninghamDennis Schröder started on Monday and contributed 22 points (8-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, 11 assists and one three-pointer in a 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Schröder got the starting nod with James Harden (personal) unavailable for this game, and he took advantage of the opportunity. This was his first double-double and second 20-point game since he was traded to Cleveland, which was enough to lead them to victory despite missing multiple starters. Schr...
Max Strus (foot) is out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.
Strus, who tweaked his left wrist during Sunday’s win over the Pacers, will not play on Monday due to foot injury management. Sam Merrill (hamstring) has been removed from the Cavaliers’ injury report and should slide into the starting spot vacated by Strus.
NBA Injury ReportLarry Nance Jr. (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.
Nance is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, even if Dean Wade (ankle) cannot play. Wade sprained his right ankle during pregame warmups and is considered questionable.
NBA Injury ReportTyrese Proctor (quad) is available to play against the Magic on Tuesday.
Proctor will be back following a 10-game absence. The rookie has had some solid moments this year, but he won’t play enough to be worth rostering.
