Rotoworld Player News

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Merrill has not appeared in a game since November 17, which has freed up additional minutes for Jaylon Tyson and De’Andre Hunter. That will remain the case on Sunday, with Tyson offering a slightly higher fantasy ceiling for managers competing in category leagues.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen (finger) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Allen is on track to make his first appearance since November 28, and it would come at an excellent time for the Cavaliers. With Evan Mobley (calf) out for at least two to four weeks, Allen would possess a higher fantasy ceiling as the lone post player in the starting lineup. If he remains out on Sunday, expect to see plenty of Dean Wade and Thomas Bryant.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley (calf) is expected to be sidelined for two to four weeks.

While Mobley played 36 minutes in Friday’s win over the Wizards, he suffered a strained left calf and will be sidelined for a bit. According to the Cavaliers, it’s a Grade 1 strain and Mobley is expected to miss approximately two to four weeks. With Jarrett Allen sidelined by finger injuries on both hands, Dean Wade and Thomas Bryant will figure more prominently in the frontcourt rotation. Wade has played more than Bryant, making him the preferred streaming option if Allen can’t play on Sunday against the Hornets.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mirchell amassed 48 points (17-of-31 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and eight three-pointers in the win over the Wizards on Friday.

The Cavaliers got back in the win column on Friday behind Mitchell’s highest scoring performance of the season. The veteran combo guard got up over 30 shot attempts for the first time this season, which he converted efficiently en route to a near 50-point performance. He used the three-point shot to his advantage and, despite the high volume of shots, he made at least a little bit of impact as a facilitator along the way. Mitchell has been on a tear lately, scoring 40 or more points in three of his last seven games and nailing at least seven threes in each of said games. He will look to stay hot against the Hornets on Sunday.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley logged 23 points (7-of-17 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Wizards on Friday.

While he wasn’t his usual efficient self from a shotmaking perspective, Mobley was quite impactful on the offensive end. He produced both inside and outside the arc en route to finishing with 20 or more points for the 12th time this season, and tied a team-high in assists, as well. Mobley didn’t produce any counting stats on the defensive end, which is rare for him, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Nonetheless, he put forth some strong production from a fantasy standpoint and continues to put up solid numbers overall.
Darius Garland

CLE Guard #10

Darius Garland totaled 18 points (6-of-17 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and two steals on Friday in the win over the Wizards.

Garland was as efficient as one could be inside the arc, shooting 6-of-6 on two-point shots, but his 0-of-11 shooting from deep left him completely unimpactful from behind the line. Yet, even with the shooting struggles, Garland was one of the Cavaliers’ highest scorers on the evening and concluded with a share of the most assists. Surely, fantasy managers will want more production from Garland going forward, but they must remain patient in the early stages of the season as he continues to work his way back from offseason toe surgery.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor (personal) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Wizards.

Proctor is back after missing Cleveland’s last two games for personal reasons. His return will not affect fantasy basketball, even with the Cavaliers not having Sam Merrill or Max Strus.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen (finger) is out for Friday’s game against the Wizards.

While Allen fully participated in Tuesday’s practice, he still has not reached the point where he can play in games. Evan Mobley will continue to start at the center position, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Also, Jaylon Tyson is worth a look in deeper leagues since he has moved into the starting lineup.
Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen (finger) was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice, according to Cavaliers reporter Danny Cunningham.

Allen has missed five straight and eight of Cleveland’s last nine games, but his participation in practice suggests he’s got a chance to take the court for Cleveland’s next game. The Cavs don’t play again until Friday, which gives Allen plenty of time to recover. If Allen is cleared to play, he could reclaim his starting spot from Jaylon Tyson. Sam Merrill (hand) hasn’t played since November 17, and he did not participate in practice.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell accumulated 29 points (11-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Warriors.

The Cavaliers got off to an ice-cold start on the second night of a back-to-back, scoring a season-low 36 points in the first half. Mitchell came alive after the break, burying seven three-pointers and dropping 21 points in the second half as Cleveland roared back to make this one close. He had an opportunity to knock down a game-tying three-pointer in the final seconds but came up empty. The 29-year-old scoring machine is averaging 30.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks over 23 games this season. The Cavaliers are off until Friday when they face the floundering Wizards before closing out a two-game week with a home matchup against the Hornets.
