Jaylon

Tyson

Friday’s game will be the fourth missed by Tyson and the seventh by Porter due to their respective injuries. The former’s absence is more impactful on fantasy basketball, with Max Strus and Keon Ellis in line to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Tyson.

Tyson will remain sidelined for a third straight game. With Max Strus (foot) also sidelined, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade should see extra minutes as starters, while Keon Ellis should play a significant role off the bench.

Monday’s absence will mark the second straight for the second-year guard out of California. In his sophomore season, Tyson has taken a major leap, becoming one of the NBA’s more consistent three-point shooters. He’s also scoring 13.1 points and pulling down 5.1 rebounds per contest. Sam Merrill, Max Strus, and Keon Ellis should each see plenty of opportunities while Tyson is sidelined.

Mitchell is back after a one-game absence, while the player who replaced him in the lineup on Thursday will not play. Tyson’s absence will not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball due to Mitchell’s return.

Tyson sprained his left great toe during Thursday’s win over the Bulls and had to leave the game in the fourth quarter. While the 23-year-old shooting guard was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pelicans, he’s been downgraded to doubtful. Tyson is now considered unlikely to play, though his absence wouldn’t impact fantasy basketball.

While Mitchell was held out of Thursday’s win over the Bulls, Tyson started but had to exit in the fourth quarter after spraining his left great toe. If Mitchell can play on Saturday, Tyson will head to the bench if available to play.

Inserted into the Cavaliers’ starting lineup on Thursday due to Donovan Mitchell’s eye contusion, Tyson had an excellent night until late. The second-year wing recorded a double-double but had to leave due to an apparent toe injury. With the Cavaliers being deeper than they were earlier this season, a potential absence for Tyson would not be as impactful in fantasy basketball circles.

Mitchell played through the eye contusion on Tuesday, but he struggled with his shot. He’ll get the night off to continue recovering, which will hopefully allow him to play against the Pelicans on Saturday. Jaylon Tyson will get the starting nod in his place.

Tyson will be back following a one-game absence. His role has dwindled as a reserve recently, which has limited his production. Sam Merrill is also back, so his role off the bench will be too limited for him to be worth streaming.

Tyson is on track to return Tuesday night after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks with a sore left ankle. He’ll provide added depth on the wing, but it may not be enough to affect fantasy basketball with Max Strus available and Sam Merrill possibly returning from a hamstring injury.
