Rotoworld Player News

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam Merrill (hand) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Magic.

Merrill has missed Cleveland’s last five games with a right hand injury. His absence has created more opportunities for Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade, with the former being part of the starting lineup.
De'Andre Hunter

CLE Forward-Guard #12

De’Andre Hunter (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Magic.

Hunter did not play in Saturday’s win over the Magic, with his absence factoring into rookie Tyrese Proctor picking up rotation minutes off the bench. Even if Hunter remains out, Proctor should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.
Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45

Donovan Mitchell powered the Cavaliers to a 119-105 win over the Magic on Saturday with a game-high 36 points (15-of-30 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 37 minutes.

Mitchell topped 30 points for the second consecutive contest as he hoisted a season-high 30 shot attempts while also dishing out nine assists. It was an impressive all-around effort for the 29-year-old fantasy star as he continues to deliver first-round fantasy value, averaging 29.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks through 43 games. The Cavaliers have a rematch against the Magic on Monday before closing out a four-game week with matchups against the Lakers, Suns and Trail Blazers.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson accumulated 17 points (5-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Magic.

Tyson has been hot-and-cold from a scoring standpoint but he’s scored in double figures in eight consecutive games since January 10. It looked like he was on the verge of a monster performance, supplying 15 first-half points on 5-of-6 shooting, including a perfect 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He cooled off considerably in the final two quarters, notching just two points. The 23-year-old has made a significant leap this season, morphing into a borderline top-100 overall fantasy contributor.
Tyrese Proctor

CLE Guard #24

Tyrese Proctor chipped in 12 points (4-of-4 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and one assist over nine minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Magic.

Proctor was perfect from the floor and came up just a couple points shy of matching his previous season-high mark, despite playing just nine minutes off the bench in this one. The 21-year-old guard has gotten some additional run while Darius Garland (toe) remains sidelined, but he can be safely ignored in most fantasy leagues.
De'Andre Hunter

CLE Forward-Guard #12

De’Andre Hunter (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Hunter was a late addition to the Cavaliers’ injury report, and now he’s officially out. Cleveland’s bench rotation takes a hit, but this won’t significantly affect fantasy basketball. Nae’Qwan Tomlin may pick up a few more minutes, but there’s no need to stream him.
De'Andre Hunter

CLE Forward-Guard #12

De’Andre Hunter (illness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Hunter is a late addition to the injury report, with Saturday’s game scheduled to tip off at 7 PM Eastern. His availability does not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, even with Sam Merrill being out. There may be a few more minutes for Nae’Qwan Tomlin, but he should not be streamed when coming off the bench.
Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Merrill is set to miss his fifth consecutive game with a hand injury. Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade should remain in the starting lineup with Merrill out while De’Andre Hunter continues to occupy a bench role.
Jaylon Tyson

CLE Guard-Forward #20

Jaylon Tyson finished with 17 points (6-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers on Friday against the Kings.

Tyson continues to provide strong value as a starter for Cleveland. Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hand) remained out, which allowed Tyson to remain in his role. Over his last four games, Tyson has averaged 21.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 triples while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor. Next up for the Cavs is a trip to Orlando on Saturday, and Tyson will look to remain productive while playing big minutes.
Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4

Evan Mobley lit up the Kings with 29 points (13-of-24 FGs), 13 rebounds, eight assists and four blocks in a 123-118 win on Friday.

Mobley had a rough stretch as a rebounder earlier this month, but the last two games have shown that won’t continue. He recorded his second straight double-double and matched his season high for both points and assists. Mobley has had a strong season overall, though his points, rebounds and shooting percentages are down from last season. He’ll look to stay hot in Orlando on Saturday.
