Rotoworld Player News

Ty Jerome

CLE Point Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ty Jerome (illness) is questionable to play against Washington on Tuesday.

Jerome has had a fantastic season for the Cavs thus far, and he has yet to miss a game to this point. If he is forced to sit out of this one, Caris LeVert and Craig Porter Jr. should be the primary ball handlers off the bench.
Dean Wade

CLE Power Forward #32

Dean Wade (left ankle sprain) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Tuesday.

Original reports indicated that Wade would remain out for this game, but he has been upgraded to questionable. His absence has allowed Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang to take on extra minutes, but none of these guys have been relevant in standard fantasy leagues this year.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Shooting Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 35 points (12-of-21 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and six 3-pointers in a 115-111 win over the Celtics on Sunday.

Despite a poor first half of this game, Mitchell was able to figure things out after the break. He scored five points in the first two quarters before scoring 10 in the third and 20 in the fourth quarter. He struggled mightily in Friday’s loss to Atlanta, which made his start to this game a little scary. However, he redeemed himself and helped Cleveland end their first losing streak of the season. Mitchell’s numbers are slightly down from last season, so he’ll look to build off of this performance against the Wizards on Tuesday to kick off a four-game week.
Georges Niang

CLE Small Forward #20

Georges Niang provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (4-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, one assist and three 3-pointers against Boston on Sunday.

Niang was able to contribute on the offensive end early in this game and scored 11 points in the first half. That was almost the entirety of his production for the entire game, until he was sent to the free throw line late in the fourth quarter. He knocked down two clutch free throws that helped extend Cleveland’s lead and secure the win. Niang is a solid rotation piece that contributes to winning, but he isn’t a great option in fantasy basketball.
Darius Garland

CLE Point Guard #10

Darius Garland lit up the Celtics with 22 points (5-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists and four 3-pointers on Sunday.

Garland did most of his scoring before halftime, which helped keep Cleveland afloat in this game. He did more facilitating after the break, but that allowed them to keep the game close until Donovan Mitchell took over. Garland’s assists are slightly up from last season, but he has still been able to average a career-low in turnovers. This was his second game this season that he finished without a turnover, which helped make up for a slightly below-average field goal percentage. He’ll look to keep this up with Washington coming to town on Tuesday to kick off a four-game week.
Max Strus

CLE Small Forward #1

Max Strus (right ankle sprain) remains out and does not have a timeline for return.

Strus injured his ankle on October 17 and has yet to appear in a game this season. The lack of a timeline when he was due to be re-evaluated in early December is especially concerning. With Dean Wade also injured, Isaac Okoro will continue to fill the void in the starting lineup left by Strus.
Dean Wade

CLE Power Forward #32

Dean Wade (left ankle sprain) will not play in Tuesday’s game against Washington.

Already ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics, Wade will also miss Cleveland’s matchup with Washington on Tuesday. He’s missed the last five games, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday night against Denver. Wade’s absence isn’t too impactful in fantasy basketball, but it has freed up additional minutes for Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang.
Dean Wade

CLE Power Forward #32

Dean Wade (left ankle sprain) will remain sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

This will be a sixth straight absence for Wade, which will open the door for both Georges Niang and Isaac Okoro to see some extra minutes. However, neither player is worth streaming.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Shooting Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell struggled on Friday and finished with 12 points (5-of-23 FGs), 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two 3-pointers against Atlanta.

Mitchell was able to provide value in other categories in this game, but it didn’t truly make up for one of his worst shooting performances this year. That was a big reason that Cleveland dropped their second straight game against the Hawks. The Cavs still sits atop the Eastern Conference standings, and they’ll host Boston on Sunday to close out this week in a matchup for the best record in the conference. Mitchell will need to have a bounce back performance in order for Cleveland to get back in the win column.
Darius Garland

CLE Point Guard #10

Darius Garland lit up the Hawks with 29 points (11-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and five 3-pointers in a 117-101 loss on Friday.

Garland’s last few games have been on the quieter side, but he got back on track in this one. He has been having a bounce back season, and this performance is more on track with what he has done for most of this year. Garland is in the midst of the best shooting season of his career, and while he likely won’t continue to shoot this well all year, his early success has been great for his fantasy value. He has produced third round value in 9-cat leagues to this point, and he’ll look to keep it up against Boston on Sunday.
