Cleveland Cavaliers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) will not play against Phoenix on Tuesday. He is a late scratch for the contest, as the team had not listed him on the injury report ahead of the game. Hunter has experienced some health issues, so the team may want to play it extra safe with him as Atlanta begins a back-to-back set. With Hunter out of the picture, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews should be the key performers off the bench on Tuesday. David Roddy might also see additional action.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) is not ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against Indiana. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out. Jerome's next chance to return will come on Thursday against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Jerome unavailable, around 18 minutes are available to be shared among the rest of the group. Both Caris LeVert and Max Strus logged over 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's encounter with the Pacers. However, they had poor outings, combining for only five points.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's rematch against the Pacers, who beat the Cavs on Sunday, snapping Cleveland's 12-game winning streak. Jerome missed Sunday's game as well after averaging 17.5 minutes in his previous six games. In those six contests, Jerome produced 9.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals. If he is out again on Tuesday as expected, Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill, and Craig Porter Jr. will divide up his minutes in the second unit.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. This comes as no surprise after Cleveland listed Jerome as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jerome's absence should slightly boost Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert from a fantasy perspective, while Craig Porter Jr. might break back into the rotation as an additional ball-handler. Jerome's first chance to return will come on Tuesday when Cleveland will square off against the Pacers in a rematch.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) will likely skip Sunday's contest against Indiana, as he has been listed as doubtful on the injury report.

The 27-year-old has been an important member of the bench unit this term, contributing 10.1 points in 17.6 minutes, with 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals. Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert might play a bit more with Jerome out of the lineup, with the latter being the better fantasy piece.
