Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (toe) has been ruled out for the second game in a row due to toe soreness. The 23-year-old was held out of their game against the Denver Nuggets which turned into a 23-point blowout loss. The Cavaliers are looking to stay in the third seed in the East, but they only remain a half of a game ahead of the New York Knicks. Okoro may not be the deciding factor in this situation or in fantasy matchups, but his absence will mean more minutes for the starters as well as Caris LeVert.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday versus Denver. LeVert couldn't play on Friday against Philadelphia due to wrist soreness but has shaken off the injury to jump back into action for a clash with the reigning champions. The 29-year-old has struggled in his most recent appearances, and Donovan Mitchell's return is bad news for him from a fantasy perspective, but the absence of Isaac Okoro (toe) should give LeVert some extra value. Okoro, who was hurt on Friday, has been downgraded from questionable to out.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver. He played only 15 minutes in Friday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. However, he now has a chance to miss Sunday's contest. But with Donovan Mitchell back in the lineup and Caris LeVert (wrist) listed as probable, Okoro could have a tough time getting anything going for DFS managers, assuming he's available, in a difficult matchup versus the champs.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is probable for Sunday's showdown with the Nuggets. Levert has battled wrist soreness throughout the season. But he sat out Friday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of it. However, he should be back on the floor versus the champs. Despite coming off the bench in most appearances, the 29-year-old has averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 assists this season. While he's not as productive as he was in Brooklyn, he's still worthy of a spot in any DFS lineup. With that in mind, LeVert's impending return should mean less work for Marcus Morris Sr., Georges Niang, and Sam Merrill.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) is listed as available on the league's official injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Mitchell dealt with various ailments over the last few months and only played two contests before finally returning on Friday against Philadelphia. He logged 32 minutes. However, the 27-year-old finished with only 12 points, shooting a rough 4-for-13 from the field. Hopefully, Mitchell shook off any residual rust caused by his prolonged absence. Yet, he'll still have a tough matchup on tap with the champs.
