Jaylon

Tyson

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.

Tyson wasn’t able to stay as hot as he was on Friday, when he scored a career-high 39 points. However, he was able to remain a productive option for fantasy managers. With Darius Garland set to miss at least a few more games with a toe sprain, Tyson’s spot in the starting unit feels safe. He has been a reliable producer for most of the season, and that should continue moving forward, with a trip to Charlotte on Wednesday up next on the schedule.

Garland sat out Friday, and Jaylon Tyson posted a career-high 39 points and the assist to Evan Mobley for his game-winning dunk. Tyson has been excellent when given additional run this season, and he makes for a priority add off the waiver wire. Craig Porter Jr. could see some additional run as well.

Cleveland was missing multiple rotation players for this game, and other starters were struggling, which made this outing from Tyson so vital. He set a new career high for scoring and had the game-winning assist to Evan Mobley. Tyson also set a career high for three-pointers. He has had an excellent second season in the NBA and has benefited from a multitude of injuries on the perimeter. The Cavs haven’t had as much success as they did last season, which can mostly be attributed to all the games that rotation players have missed. However, Tyson has blossomed and should be an important piece for them for the rest of the season and beyond.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Wade has missed due to a left knee contusion. With Sam Merrill (hand) also out, the Cavaliers will have to rely even more on Jaylon Tyson, who has already been productive enough to merit being rostered in some 12-team formats.

Tyson will get the start for the Cavaliers as the team looks to get back on track and into the win column. Sam Merrill will return to the bench as a result. Tyson has started 21 of 36 games for the Cavaliers this season and is having a great sophomore season, averaging 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers per game.

This will be a fourth straight absence for Wade. Sam Merrill has played well as a starter in his place, though Jaylon Tyson has also taken on extra minutes and has contributed well off the bench over the Cavaliers’ last two games.

Wade will miss a third consecutive game as he recovers from a left knee contusion. Sam Merrill started Saturday’s win over the Timberwolves and played 26 minutes. Wade’s absence also affects Jaylon Tyson, whose playing time will be even more secure.

Tyson has been productive for most of the season, but the last few games prior to this one had been rough. However, he was able to get back on track in this one by scoring at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. He had scored a total of 21 points across his four previous games, but he has largely been a consistent producer this season. This could kickstart a strong stretch for him, but he remains a risky option since the Cavs are healthier than they’ve been for much of the season.

Initially probable for Thursday’s game, Tyson is officially available. While he’ll come off the bench, the second-year wing will play enough to provide value in deeper fantasy leagues.
