Fantasy Impact: Jerome will not be available to play on Thursday. This was the way it seemed to be trending, and it's possible that he will remain out for more games beyond this one while he recovers. Max Strus and Sam Merrill are two prime candidates to see more work in his absence.

Fantasy Impact: Mitchell will be available to play on Thursday night. He missed Cleveland's last game due to a groin injury, but it was nothing more than a minor issue and he is now good to go for their next matchup. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him against the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Cleveland will hold Mobley out of Thursday night's game. They are giving him the night off as a rest night with the playoffs approaching in the near future, and he should be back in time for their next game. Look for De'Andre Hunter and Isaac Okoro to see more work until then.

Max Strus quiet in win Tuesday

Wed, Mar 26th 10:43am EDT
By Leo Sells

Max Strus scored just five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3PT) and dished out three assists in Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact: It looked like Strus would be a nice fantasy option on Tuesday when Donovan Mitchell (groin) was ruled out for Cleveland, but he ended up not seeing much involvement and ending with just five points against Portland. He hasn't been a strong fantasy option recently and doesn't hold much value in most league formats for right now.

Sam Merrill scored 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3PT) and dished out three assists in Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact: Merrill was able to start and put up a nice performance against the Blazers, finishing with 14 points on nearly perfect shooting. His increased opportunities were a result of the absence of Donovan Mitchell (groin), so he isn't likely to sustain this success long-term.

Darius Garland dropped 27 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go with eight assists and five rebounds in Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact: Donovan Mitchell (groin) was sidelined for the Cavs on Tuesday, so Garland saw more work than usual against the Blazers. He made the most of his increased opportunities and led the team with 27 points on the night. He was also able to contribute well in other areas of the game, which helped to boost his fantasy total.

Jarrett Allen solid in win Tuesday

Wed, Mar 26th 10:33am EDT
By Leo Sells

Jarrett Allen scored 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds in Tuesday's 122-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact: The Cavs were able to pick up a nice win over the Blazers on Tuesday. The big man was able to play his part in that, finishing just two rebounds shy of a double-double along with 14 points. He's a bit volatile on a game-to-game basis but should continue to be valuable for the foreseeable future.

Isaac Okoro was good for 10 points in 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 123-112 road loss against the Phoenix Suns.

Fantasy Impact: Okoro hit 3-of-6 from the field, including 2-of-5 from distance, while contributing a rebound and an assist in a quick appearance off the bench. It was his first game with a double-digit point total since Dec. 16, so his fantasy appeal remains limited to the deepest of formats at this time.

De'Andre Hunter recorded nine points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist in the Cavaliers' 108-103 loss to the Magic.

Fantasy Impact: With Evan Mobley (foot) out, Hunter got the start and struggled from the field. He's been up-and-down with his scoring numbers since joining the Cavaliers, making him a risky pickup for fantasy managers.

Javonte Green ended up hitting his only 3-pointer attempt in Tuesday's 109-104 win against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact: Green, acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans in late February, has appeared in three games in March, averaging 5.7 PPG with six of his seven rebounds in the month coming March 4 in extended run in Chicago. Green isn't someone worth bothering with in most fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Impact: Wade has missed nearly a month of play with a bone bruise in his knee but has been cleared to play. It will be interesting to see how he factors into the Cavs' new rotation post-trade deadline. Expect him to have a small role as he works his way back into game shape.

Fantasy Impact: Niang made one start this season for Cleveland, but spent the rest of the year in a reserve role. He will remain off the fantasy radar with Atlanta.

Fantasy Impact: LeVert spent most of the season in a reserve role for Cleveland to go along with three starts. He'll likely remain in a similar role with Atlanta.

Fantasy Impact: Porter will play on Tuesday after missing Sunday's game due to some kind of an illness. He should play without any restrictions against the Celtics, but that likely won't lead to much fantasy production from him, especially with Caris LeVert (hand) back in the lineup for the Cavs.

Jaylon Tyson scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3P, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds and a block in the Cavs' 137-115 win over Atlanta.

Fantasy Impact: Tyson had one of his best games of the season in the win over the Hawks, nearly beating his career-high in points. He's a bit too inconsistent at this point to be worth rostering in fantasy, but should some things open up for him, the rookie has a chance to make an impact.
