Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday night when the Cavaliers face off against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade missed Monday night's win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday dealing with the same illness. Wade's averaged 6.9 PPG and 4.4 RPG this season. Wade's absence shouldn't scare Cleveland much given his minimal production and a matchup against a weakened New Orleans Pelicans team. Expect Isaac Okoro to start in his place as was the case on Monday night. Okoro is averaging 5.0 PPG this season. Though shooting 46.7% from three is appealing, his minimal volume in Cleveland's offense means there are better options available to fantasy managers on the waiver wire.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) won't play on Monday versus Milwaukee. Wade has been starting in place of the injured Max Strus (ankle). However, he's averaged only 6.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season. With Caris LeVert (knee) also out, Isaac Okoro will move into the starting lineup and be worth adding to fantasy lineups. The same can be said for Sam Merrill, who had 17 points in 22 minutes off the bench on Saturday against the Bucks, the first of back-to-back contests between the clubs.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Max Strus (ankle) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, so Wade will do his best to fill the void in the lineup. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old averaged only 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 32 starts last season. With that in mind, fantasy managers shouldn't consider him a trustworthy option versus Toronto. Instead, Caris LeVert could exceed offensive expectations and is worth streaming, even though he'll come off the bench.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics. He's been out for two months with a sprained right knee, but it now looks like Wade could be ready to return to the lineup. The 27-year-old averaged over 20 minutes per game during the regular season. Wade could play a significant role in the playoffs, with the Cavaliers frontcourt weakened by the absence of Jarrett Allen (rib). However, it's unclear how many minutes he will be ready to play following the two-month injury layoff.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) will remain out for Thursday's Game 2 against Boston. He's missed two months with a sprained right knee, but there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for the 27-year-old. An update ahead of the second-round series opener by Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com suggested Wade might be ready to return to action this weekend. With Jarrett Allen (rib) also out injured, the Cavaliers could really use an extra body on the frontcourt. Wade finished the regular season with averages of 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds across 20.5 minutes.
