Rotoworld Player News

Larry Nance

CLE Forward-Center #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is questionable to play against the Heat on Wednesday.

Nance was a late scratch on Tuesday and could remain out against Miami. However, he rarely sees the floor when healthy, so his status won’t have much of an impact on their rotation.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson (toe) has been ruled out against the Magic on Wednesday.

Tyson will remain sidelined for a third straight game. With Max Strus (foot) also sidelined, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade should see extra minutes as starters, while Keon Ellis should play a significant role off the bench.
Max Strus

CLE Guard-Forward #2

Max Strus (foot) has been ruled out against the Heat on Wednesday.

Strus isn’t playing back-to-backs after missing the first five months of the season. His absence will open up extra minutes for Keon Ellis and Dean Wade, with Ellis being the better option for fantasy managers.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill remained hot on Tuesday with 19 points (6-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers against the Magic.

Merrill returned from a two-game absence with a hamstring injury and has been on fire since then. During this four-game win streak, he has averaged 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 triples while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He’s not a reliable source of production in other categories, but he has shot the ball well, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Heat on Wednesday.
James Harden

CLE Guard #1

James Harden posted a full line on Tuesday with 26 points (8-of-16 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers against the Magic.

Harden has been on a tear during this four-game winning streak. He has averaged 27.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.3 triples over his last four games while shooting 50 percent from the floor. He’ll look to keep the hot shooting up against the Heat on Wednesday and Friday to close out the week.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 42 points (14-of-22 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in a 136-131 win over the Magic on Tuesday.

Clearly, Mitchell’s eye isn’t impacting his shot anymore. He struggled with his shot in his two previous appearances and missed one game because of the left eye injury, but he was incredibly efficient in this game. He didn’t contribute much value in other categories, but the offensive explosion was enough for him to make a big impact and lead the Cavs to a fourth straight win. Mitchell will look to stay hot with the Heat in town on Wednesday and Friday.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (quad) is available to play against the Magic on Tuesday.

Proctor will be back following a 10-game absence. The rookie has had some solid moments this year, but he won’t play enough to be worth rostering.
Larry Nance

CLE Forward-Center #22

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out against the Magic on Tuesday.

Nance was a late addition to the injury report and has now officially been ruled out. He isn’t a consistent part of the Cavs’ rotation, so his absence won’t chance much for Cleveland.
Larry Nance

CLE Forward-Center #22

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is questionable to play against the Magic on Tuesday.

Being added to the injury report this close to tip-off is never a good sign. However, Nance hasn’t been part of the rotation this season, so his potential absence won’t alter the Cavaliers’ rotation.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (quad) is probable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Magic.

Proctor is on track to be available after missing 10 straight games, but he’s unlikely to see enough playing time to be viable in the world of fantasy hoops.
