Sam Merrill scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3P) with two rebounds and two steals in the Cavs' 131-108 win over the Raptors on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill had himself a nice game off of the bench for the Cavs, coming in second in bench points behind De'Andre Hunter. He's a low-volume scorer, however, so his point totals can vary widely and it's best to leave him on waivers.

Sam Merrill is listed as available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill will return from a one-game absence. He remains mostly reliant on his shooting from deep.

Sam Merrill (personal) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

The Cavaliers will be without Merrill on Friday, as he will be absent while tending to a personal issue of some kind. His next chance to play will come on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Ty Jerome and Max Strus will both see more work while the 28-year old is sidelined.

Sam Merrill (illness) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill will be available to play on Thursday, despite initially being on the injury report due to an illness that left him sidelined on Wednesday. He doesn't project to be a strong fantasy option against the Hawks.

Sam Merrill (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game vs the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill was questionable heading into Wednesday's game as well and ultimately sat out. The Cavs will see how he feels closer to tip-off before confirming his status.
