Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando. The former Net has been plagued by a wrist sprain, most recently keeping him off the floor for Saturday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. With bench minutes up for grabs in that one, Georges Niang and Sam Merrill got extra work, with the duo combining for 32 points. Although it's still hard to trust either man from a fantasy standpoint, they are worth considering for streaming purposes if LeVert can't go on Monday.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) isn't available for Saturday's game against Atlanta. He's battled a lingering wrist issue for a while, although it will finally keep him off the floor. The 29-year-old is averaging 16 points this season, primarily from off the bench, meaning there will be scoring chances up for grabs. Although Donovan Mitchell will obviously remain the top-scoring option, there's good for guys like Isaac Okoro, Max Strus, and Georges Niang to get enough work to warrant streaming consideration in every fantasy setup.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The injury isn't anything new. However, he'll now miss his first game since December 23. The Cavs will also continue to operate without Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee), so scoring chances will be up for grabs. Of course, Donovan Mitchell will remain the primary scoring option. But guys like Jarrett Allen, Max Strus, and Isaac Okoro should also continue to benefit from a statistical standpoint.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. LeVert finds himself on the injury report due to right wrist soreness. He looked fine during his 30 minutes of playing time against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The expectation is that LeVert will play, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. The Cavs would likely use a committee approach between Sam Merrill, Craig Porter Jr. and Emoni Bates. Merrill might have some deep league value with an expanded role in the rotation.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) went through a conditioning workout before Monday's 109-91 win over the Chicago Bulls, and he hasn't faced any setbacks with his projected six-to-eight-week recovery timetable from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The Cavaliers held Mobley out for four straight games due to injury management for the issue, but they later announced on Dec. 15 that he required a procedure to remove loose bodies from his knee. Mobley has been sidelined for about four weeks and remains out indefinitely, but he is progressing. The 22-year-old former No. 3 overall pick will need to be cleared for basketball activities before any return to game action, so it may not be reasonable to expect him back before January's end. Jarrett Allen has really gotten going in Mobley's absence, averaging 18.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks over 13 games since Dec. 16.
