Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been listed as questionable for Game 5 against Boston on Wednesday. After replacing Donovan Mitchell (calf) in the starting lineup on Monday, LeVert has suffered a bone bruise on his left knee. Mitchell has a chance to return on Wednesday, but Sam Merrill might be the next man in line to step up if both Mitchell and LeVert are out on Wednesday.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (calf) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash with Boston. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. Mitchell has gotten hurt at the worst possible time for the Cavaliers, who face elimination in Wednesday's Game 5. Caris LeVert (knee) had a 19-point outing in Game 4 as Mitchell's replacement in the starting lineup. However, LeVert himself is also questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup, meaning Cleveland could be very shorthanded in Game 5.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert finished with 19 points in Monday's loss to Boston. He added seven assists, three rebounds, and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) didn't suit up for this contest, so LeVert got the start. While he struggled shooting from deep, going 1-for-8, he still had one of his best performances of the playoffs. With Mitchell and Jarrett Allen (rib) uncertain for Game 5 on Wednesday evening, LeVert could be in line for more scoring opportunities, no matter his role, meaning he'll see plenty of interest from the DFS community.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley finished with 19 points and nine rebounds in Monday's loss to Boston. With Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (rib) out for this one, Mobley and company did all they could to tie the series at two games. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, with the Cavs now one loss away from elimination. With that said, if Allen and Mitchell remain out for Game 5, Mobley will be a lock for all DFS lineups.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus had 15 points in Monday's loss to the Celtics. He added seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) wasn't available, so the 28-year-old did his best to fill the void by delivering his best performance of the series. With Mitchell uncertain for Game 5 on Wednesday night, Strus could continue to see more scoring chances, making him an ideal DFS option for any contest. However, after his efficient showing in Game 4, his rostering cost could rise significantly.
