Rotoworld Player News

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Merrill has not appeared in a game since November 17, and that won’t change on Friday. Jaylon Tyson has taken advantage of the opportunities thrown his way, and the second-year wing is worth rostering in 12-team leagues.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell (illness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Mitchell put up 32 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls in Chicago. If he’s unable to play in Friday’s rematch, the Cavaliers would have a massive hole to fill in their lineup. De’Andre Hunter could move back into the starting lineup, but his category league value has been limited this season.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson finished Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls with 21 points (8-of-10 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.

After coming off the bench in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Hornets, Tyson was inserted back into the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That was good news for fantasy managers, and the second-year wing responded with a complete stat line and his third 20-point game of the season. De’Andre Hunter (12/5/1 with two three-pointers) doesn’t offer a similar ceiling, whether you’re talking “real” or fantasy basketball. And based on the pregame reports, Tyson should be in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. Providing top-100 value in eight-cat formats, he’s rostered in just 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Grab him if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen accumulated 14 points (7-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls.

After playing 22 minutes in his first game back from a finger injury on Sunday, Allen logged 28 minutes against the Bulls and was more productive overall. With Evan Mobley (calf) out for a few weeks, there should be more room for Allen to operate in the post. However, he attempted only nine shots against the Bulls, and the volume could prove problematic. With Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland commanding the ball, Allen’s ceiling isn’t as high since he rarely looks to do anything scoring-wise from outside of 15 feet.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland amassed 15 points (6-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls.

Garland continues to struggle with his shot, and that has negatively impacted his fantasy value. After Wednesday’s defeat, he’s shooting 36.3 percent from the field, which would be the lowest percentage of his NBA career by a sizable margin (previous low was 40.1 percent as a rookie). Add in the lack of defensive stats, and Garland has been one of the more disappointing guards in fantasy basketball this season. There’s still a lot of basketball to be played; hopefully, he can start the turnaround on Friday when the Cavs host the Bulls.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell tallied 32 points (11-of-23 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, five assists and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls.

The Cavaliers continue to underwhelm, with Mitchell’s gaudy point total being one of the few bright spots on Wednesday. He’s scored at least 30 points in 15 of the 26 games he has played this season, one reason why Spida is providing top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats. While injuries have left the Cavaliers shorthanded, inconsistent play has also been an issue. Mitchell has been left to shoulder a heavier workload. While that has benefited those who have him rostered, it isn’t the best approach for a team that fashions itself as a title contender.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen will start Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

The struggling Cavaliers have made a change to their starting lineup, and it will hold for the foreseeable future. Tyson, a second-year wing who has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball, returns to the starting lineup with De’Ander Hunter being bumped to the bench. Even when starting, Hunter offered a limited fantasy ceiling. Fantasy managers should rush to add Tyson if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland accumulated a team-high 26 points (8-of-19 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block over 39 minutes in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Hornets.

Garland led the Cavaliers in scoring during regulation before coming up empty on all three of his shot attempts as they somehow went scoreless in overtime. He also committed a costly turnover with 23 seconds left in the marathon affair that enabled Charlotte to hang on for an improbable win. Cleveland will attempt to get back on track next week with a pair of matchups against the Bulls, who rank 23rd in defensive rating since the start of December.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell recorded just 17 points (6-of-24 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block over 37 minutes during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Hornets.

It was an off-night for Cleveland’s primary catalyst as Mitchell went just 1-of-10 from three-point range during regulation and missed a potential game-winning jumper at the buzzer. He also came up empty on all three of his shot attempts during overtime as Charlotte pulled out a stunning win. The clunker comes on the heels of a surreal 48-point eruption during Friday’s win over the lowly Wizards. He’ll attempt to rebound next week when the Cavaliers face off against the reeling Bulls in a pair of contests.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen registered nine points (3-of-8 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Hornets.

Allen made his return to Cleveland’s lineup following a six-game absence dating back to November 28 due to a finger injury. The 27-year-old big man was limited to just 22 minutes and hoisted just eight field goals. It’s been a bit of a lost season for him so far but the positive news is that he’s healthy and back in the mix as the Cavaliers attempts to get back on track without Evan Mobley (calf) for a couple weeks.
