Sam Merrill (elbow) to remain out Monday vs. CHA

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Player Stats

Sam Merrill (elbow) is out for Monday’s game against the Hornets.

Merrill will miss a second straight game due to what the Cavaliers are describing as right elbow injury management. In his absence, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor took on larger roles in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks. Of the two, Thomas offers a higher fantasy ceiling, especially if Jarrett Allen (knee) remains out.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam Merrill (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Merrill has missed Cleveland’s last two games due to management of a right elbow injury. Meleek Thomas has seen his opportunities increase, and that may remain the case on Wednesday if Merrill can’t play.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Wednesday’s game will be the seventh game Tyson has missed due to a sprained right ankle. Tyrese Proctor and Riley Minix have recently seen rotation minutes, but their opportunities could decrease if Sam Merrill (elbow) can play.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill (elbow) is out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks.

Merrill left Friday’s game against the 76ers with an elbow injury in the first half and didn’t return. He’s listed as out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks with what the Cavaliers are calling right elbow injury management. Meleek Thomas could get the start in Merrill’s absence.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill (elbow) will not return to Friday’s game against the 76ers.

Merrill started Friday’s game but struggled, missing all three of his shot attempts and going scoreless with three rebounds and two steals. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers’ guard injured his right elbow during the first half and will not return. Meleek Thomas started the third quarter and should play more minutes with Merrill out.
Peyton Watson

CLE Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is available for Friday’s game against the 76ers.

Watson is back after missing Cleveland’s last two games with a hamstring injury. With Jarrett Allen (knee) out, Watson could move to power forward, with either Tyrese Proctor or Meleek Thomas as the fifth starter.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (ankle) is available for Friday’s game against the 76ers.

Proctor, who started Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, is good to go. Peyton Watson (hamstring) is a game-time call; if he can’t go, Proctor may get another start.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (ankle) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Friday.

Proctor started on Wednesday in place of Peyton Watson, who is also questionable for this game. Proctor could get another start if either Watson or Jarrett Allen (knee) is out, though he only played 21 minutes in that role on Wednesday.
Peyton Watson

CLE Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Friday.

Watson has missed the last two games, with Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor, who is also questionable for Friday, each getting a start. Jarrett Allen (knee) is questionable as well, so the status of all three questionable players will determine the starting unit.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Tyrese Proctor, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.

The Cavaliers are without Peyton Watson for a second straight game. While Meleek Thomas started Monday’s loss to the Thunder, Proctor receives the nod for Wednesday’s rematch.
Peyton Watson

CLE Guard #8

Peyton Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Monday.

Watson will miss a game for the first time this season, and Jaylon Tyson (ankle) also happens to be sidelined. Rookie Meleek Thomas, Sam Merrill or Mario Hezonja will likely step into a starting role, though all three will see more minutes.

After starting Mike Conley in Sunday’s win over the Bucks, the Celtics are calling on Jordan Walsh to start. While limited as a scorer, his defense will be key against Philadelphia’s offensive firepower.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

The Bucks won’t have Tyler Herro for Tuesday’s game, as he’s out with a leg injury. Rollins returns to the starting lineup for the first time since Halloween, which raises his short-term fantasy ceiling.
