Max Strus

CLE Small Forward #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Max Strus shot 3-of-8 from the field in Monday’s win over Phoenix, scoring nine points with two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

With Caris LeVert sidelined by a sore right wrist, Strus made his first start of the season on Monday. He provided production in the 3-point category but not much else in an underwhelming individual performance. Strus was a starter last season and offered reliable late-round value in standard leagues. To duplicate that feat for the remainder of this season, he’d likely need to eventually replace Dean Wade (8/5/2 with one 3-pointer in 19 minutes) in the starting lineup.
Darius Garland

CLE Point Guard #10

Darius Garland accounted for 16 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and three 3-pointers in 25 minutes in Monday’s win over the Suns.

Garland’s streak of games with at least 20 points ended at five on Monday, but the nature of the game factored into his lack of playing time. The good news for fantasy managers is that he provided solid value in assists, steals, and 3-pointers. Garland has offered 3rd-round fantasy value in 8- and 9-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo ADP (62) by a few rounds. He’ll look to continue this run on Wednesday when Cleveland faces Houston.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Shooting Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell shot 11-of-25 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line in Monday’s 118-92 win over Phoenix, scoring 33 points with five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes.

Two days removed from scoring 36 points in a win over Minnesota, Mitchell scored another 33 in Monday’s rout of the Suns. He’s surpassed the 30-point mark in three of his last four outings, except Thursday’s loss to Oklahoma City. Mitchell hasn’t threatened 1st-round fantasy value as many managers hoped, but he’s been close to a top-25 player in 9-cat formats. Cleveland plays three more games during Week 13, which is good news for fantasy managers.
Caris LeVert

CLE Shooting Guard #3

Caris LeVert (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday’s Cavaliers-Suns game.

LeVert’s offensive contributions have been up-and-down as of late. He’s scored less than four points in five of his previous 10 games. Ty Jerome will likely take on a larger role with LeVert out.
Isaac Okoro

CLE Shooting Guard #35

Isaac Okoro (right AC joint sprain) is out for Monday’s game against Phoenix.

Okoro will miss a second straight game, and his availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball. Max Strus, who continues to work his way back from the ankle injury that delayed the start of his season, should hit the high 20s in minutes played. He can provide points and 3-pointers in that role but is only worth a look in deep leagues.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley (right calf strain) is out for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Mobley will miss a second straight game due to his calf injury, which is now considered a strain (it was described as soreness for Saturday’s win against Minnesota). Caris LeVert started against the Timberwolves and was far more impactful defensively, with reserves Georges Niang and Ty Jerome picking up the slack offensively. LeVert should get another start, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations when he plays alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.
Caris LeVert

CLE Shooting Guard #3

Caris LeVert tallied two points (1-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, and three assists in 25 minutes in Saturday’s win over Minnesota.

With Evan Mobley (calf) sidelined, LeVert was Kenny Atkinson’s choice to move into the starting lineup. As has been the case in the past, he again struggled to provide reliable value when starting alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell. Georges Niang (15/10/1/1 with three 3-pointers) and Ty Jerome (15/4/4/1 with two 3-pointers) proved more valuable, so that’s something for fantasy managers to be mindful of if Mobley misses Monday’s game against the Suns.
Darius Garland

CLE Point Guard #10

Darius Garland finished Saturday’s 124-117 win over Minnesota with 29 points (8-of-19 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

Garland has been on a nice run recently, scoring 20 points or more in five straight games. Over the past two weeks, the Cavaliers point guard has provided 4th-round value in 9-cat formats. While that is slightly behind his season-long value, Garland is one of two Cavs players providing top-50 value over the past two weeks. Cleveland plays four games during Week 13.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Shooting Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell shot 12-of-27 from the field and 8-of-9 from the foul line in Saturday’s 124-117 win over the Timberwolves, scoring 36 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

After having his worst game of the season in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder, Mitchell got back on track Saturday night. The 36 points were the most in a game for the Cavaliers guard since November 15, when he torched the Bulls in a 37-point night. Mitchell hasn’t been the top 20 fantasy player that many fantasy managers hoped he would be before the season began, but he hasn’t been far off. Cleveland plays four games during Week 13, starting with the Suns on Monday.
Caris LeVert

CLE Shooting Guard #3

Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert, Dean Wade, and Jarrett Allen will start Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

The Cavaliers are without Evan Mobley, who is out due to a sore right calf. He’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by LeVert, whose fantasy value may not receive a significant boost. Playing alongside Garland and Mitchell means LeVert has even less time on the ball, limiting his upside.
