Georges Niang - Notches 12 pointsNiang notched 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 win over Detroit.

ImpactMax Strus is responsible for most of Cleveland's floor spacing, but Niang offers plenty of it for the second unit. Over the last 11 games, Niang has made 1.9 three-pointers per contest to go with 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 22.3 minutes per game.

Max Strus - Goes off for 22 pointsStrus posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 win over the Pistons.

ImpactStrus' production has been a bit of a rollercoaster lately, although there's been far more ups than downs this season. Strus is on pace to return fifth-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues with averages of 14.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers on 43.9 percent shooting from the field and 82.6 percent from the line.

Isaac Okoro - Records four stealsOkoro closed with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 victory over the Pistons.

ImpactOkoro matched his career high for steals (4), something he's accomplished three times. His energy Saturday was contagious, and it resulted in him playing 33 minutes off the bench. In his previous three games, Okoro was trending down with an average of 14.3 minutes per contest.

Ausar Thompson - Plays 16 minutes in lossThompson contributed four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 16 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactThompson picked up five fouls for the second game in a row, and that's been a recurring issue for the rookie. Over his last eight games, Thompson has averaged 4.4 fouls per contest. To make matters worse for his immediate fantasy outlook, he'll also have to compete with Bojan Bogdanovic for minutes at both forward spots with the veteran scoring 22 points in his season debut Saturday.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Scores 22 points in season debutBogdanovic ended with 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactBogdanovic finally made his season debut Saturday after missing the opening 19 games with a calf injury. He looked sharp right off the bat in this game, and coach Monty Williams has big plans for him going forward. It's worth nothing that Williams wants to use Bogdanovic at both forward spots, so he could have a substantial role once his restrictions are eased.

Jaden Ivey - Fails to impressIvey contributed seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 110-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactIvey was moved into the starting lineup Saturday, but despite seeing plenty of minutes, he couldn't generate much offensively. Ivey has been held to single-digit points in three straight games, shooting 26.7 percent from the field in that stretch. With how much coach Monty Williams has tweaked his lineups in recent weeks, there's no telling if Ivey will start Wednesday's game against Memphis.
