Max Strus's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) is questionable heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The 27-year-old has been sidelined for a few weeks because of a sprained right knee. While there's a chance he won't return versus Philly, the injury designation suggests he's at least moving in the right direction. But if Strus isn't available versus the Hornets, Isaac Okoro would presumably remain in the starting lineup. With that said, Okoro isn't always the most reliable fantasy option.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) won't play on Sunday against Miami, his former team. The 27-year-old has been out for a few weeks because of a sprained right knee. But the Cavs hope to catch Milwaukee for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference heading toward the postseason, so the team would like to get him back in the lineup as soon as possible. Strus has been a welcome addition to the roster in his first year in Cleveland, averaging career-highs in points (12.2), rebounds (4.7), and assists (3.8). With that said, until he's back in the lineup, Isaac Okoro should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) has been ruled out for the meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The 27-year-old will miss his tenth consecutive game due to a knee strain. In that span, so far, the Cavs have gone 4-5 and they're now down by a game and a half to the Milwaukee Bucks for the second seed in the East. Since Donovan Mitchell (nose) and Evan Mobley (ankle) are also out, Darius Garland will have to lead the offense. Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert should remain in the starting lineup while Sam Merrill will likely see big minutes off of the bench. LeVert has been the most consistent of the three as a streaming option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The Cavs continue to deal with the injury bug, as Strus will miss his ninth straight game with a right knee strain. Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Dean Wade are also out with their respective injuries. Caris LeVert is the main benefactor of all the Cavaliers' injuries, with averages of 13.4 points, 8.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals in his last eight games. Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang, Marcus Morris Sr., and Sam Merrill should also see minute increases with Strus and others missing time.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) remains out on Monday versus the Pacers. The 27-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season. But he's missed the Cavs' last seven games because of a sprained right knee. With Cleveland also down Donovan Mitchell (knee), Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill should continue to see an increase in minutes and production for at least the next few games.
