Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Player Stats

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

Merrill will miss a sixth straight game on Monday as he continues to deal with a right elbow injury. His absence has freed up additional minutes for Meleek Thomas, who’s made the most of his opportunities.

Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Donovan Mitchell (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Mitchell will be available after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Mavericks. His return will push Meleek Thomas to the bench, but the rookie will still play quality minutes.
Meleek Thomas

CLE Guard #15

Meleek Thomas, Tyrese Proctor, Jaylon Tyson, Mario Hezonja and Thomas Bryant will start against the Mavericks on Saturday.

The Cavs played in Miami on Friday and then had flight delays (like everyone did) that prevented them from returning to Cleveland when they intended. So they’re resting the entire starting five. It will be five new starters for the Cavs, though they will all likely return to reserve roles in their next game.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Mitchell will be unavailable, as will the other four typical starters for Cleveland. Rookie Meleek Thomas should get the starting nod in place of Mitchell. Thomas has been excellent this season, and this should be a good opportunity for him.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley (toe) and Sam Merrill (elbow) are out for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Mobley will miss his second game in a row with a left great toe sprain. Merrill will also be out again with right elbow injury management. Without the two, Cleveland can play small with Peyton Watson or use Meleek Thomas and Jaylon Tyson off the bench.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley (toe) has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Heat.

This will be Mobley’s first absence of the season. Mario Hezonja is the likely candidate to replace him in the starting unit, though they could opt for a smaller starting unit with Peyton Watson at power forward, which would open the door for multiple players to fill in, including Meleek Thomas and Jaylon Tyson.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor accounted for 15 points (6-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Knicks.

The Cavaliers received 32 points from their reserves in Wednesday’s victory, with Proctor scoring 15. The second-year guard finished with a season-high point total while shooting 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. Rookie Meleek Thomas (14/4/1/2 with two three-pointers) offers the highest ceiling among Cleveland’s reserves, but Proctor is someone to watch moving forward.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

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.
Meleek Thomas

CLE Guard #15

Meleek Thomas finished Monday’s loss to the Hornets with 18 points (7-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and four three-pointers.

With Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson benching his starters for the entire fourth quarter, reserves like Thomas took on larger roles. The rookie wing scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth, shooting 5-of-9 from the field. The 18 points were a season high for Thomas, who has scored in double figures in six of his eight appearances.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Peyton Watson, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start Monday’s game against the Hornets.

Allen is back after a two-game absence, which allows the Cavaliers to roll out their preferred starting lineup. Meleek Thomas, who started Saturday’s loss to the Knicks, will come off the bench.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

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.

GG Jackson (foot) is out for Monday’s game against the Wizards.

Jackson injured his left foot during Saturday’s win over the Nets. While reports suggest the injury could be serious, the Grizzlies have yet to provide an update, so he’s day-to-day for now. Jeremi grant’s return from a head injury will help Memphis account for Jackson’s absence.

Isaiah Stewart (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Stewart has started the Grizzlies’ last two games at center, filling in for the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Both are questionable for Monday, as is Quentin Post (concussion). If they all sit, the Grizzlies will likely have to go small, with Taylor Hendricks, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Kris Murray playing more minutes.
