Dean

Wade

Like Donovan Mitchell, Wade was available for both games of Cleveland’s back-to-back after missing time with an injury. However, unlike the star guard, Wade was limited to 20 minutes on Monday. That was all the time he needed to record his first double-double of the season. As long as Jarrett Allen (knee) is out, Wade will have a slightly higher fantasy ceiling, but he isn’t guaranteed to reach it consistently.

Having started Sunday’s loss to the Celtics after a three-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Wade will play the second game of Cleveland’s home back-to-back. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Sam Merrill serving as the fifth starter due to Jarrett Allen (knee) being out.

Allen will miss a second straight game, and it’s unclear when he’ll be available to return. Until Allen is back in action, Evan Mobley and Dean Wade should hold things down in Cleveland’s frontcourt with Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson earning extra run. Thomas Bryant could log some extra playing time off the bench.

After a three-game absence with a sprained ankle, Wade is good to go for Sunday’s key matchup with the Celtics. He’ll likely slide into the space that was occupied by Jarrett Allen, who has been ruled out with a knee injury. This would also mean Evan Mobley is the starting center.

Wade practiced on Friday and is on track to return after missing Cleveland’s last three games with a sprained ankle. With Jarrett Allen (knee) out, Wade will likely be the starting power forward, with Evan Mobley shifting to the five.

Allen, a much-improved player since the beginning of February, did not practice on Friday. Due to left knee tendonitis, he won’t be available for Sunday’s contest, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. With Dean Wade (ankle) listed as probable, he may slide into the spot occupied by Allen.

Max Strus (foot) also participated. The practice is good news for fantasy managers rostering Mitchell and potentially streaming Wade. All three have a chance to take the court for Sunday’s matchup with the Celtics.

This will be a third straight absence for Wade, which will likely result in another start for Jaylon Tyson. Though he didn’t do much in their last game against the Nets, Tyson has enjoyed an excellent second season and will have streaming appeal with Donovan Mitchell (groin) still out as well.

Wade has missed Cleveland’s last two games with a sprained right ankle, with Jaylon Tyson replacing him in the starting lineup. If Wade can’t go on Tuesday, the second-year wing will get another start, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Wade will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. Jaylon Tyson will remain in the starting lineup and is a suitable option for category league managers if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.
