Remains out Diop (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Limited to five minutes Proctor contributed zero points (0-1 FG) in five minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Proctor saw minimal action off Cleveland's bench, missing his lone field-goal attempt and failing to register another counting statistic. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell commanding the bulk of the backcourt minutes, the second-year guard faces limited opportunities for consistent fantasy production.

Struggles from field Tyson provided three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Tyson struggled offensively, missing all four attempts from beyond the arc, but salvaged some fantasy value with his rebounding and defensive contributions. His 24-minute workload was encouraging, though he'll need to improve his shooting efficiency to become a more reliable fantasy contributor.

Quiet in opener Merrill chipped in five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Merrill struggled to make an offensive impact in Cleveland's season opener, connecting on just one three-pointer despite logging a solid workload off the bench. His perimeter shooting should remain his primary source of fantasy value, though his production could fluctuate depending on his opportunities.

Not in initial rotation Thomas (coach's decision) did not play in Thursday's 114-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact The rookie guard was left out of Cleveland's initial rotation, with Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor both receiving playing time off the bench. Thomas showed scoring potential during the preseason, but he'll need to work his way into coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation before becoming a viable fantasy option.

Outside rotation in opener Bryant (coach's decision) did not play in Thursday's 114-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Bryant was left out of Cleveland's rotation despite the Cavaliers entering the season with some frontcourt injury concerns. With Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley handling the primary frontcourt responsibilities, Bryant could struggle to see consistent playing time when the team is healthy.

Goes scoreless in opener Porter finished Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers with zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds and one steal in seven minutes.

Impact Porter saw minimal playing time in Cleveland's season opener, attempting just one shot while operating near the end of the rotation. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell handling the bulk of the backcourt responsibilities, Porter faces an uphill battle for consistent minutes and fantasy relevance.

Scores 10 off bench Hezonja produced 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 19 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Hezonja provided an offensive spark off Cleveland's bench but struggled from long range, missing all five three-point attempts. His contributions in the defensive categories were encouraging, though his modest workload could limit his fantasy appeal unless he establishes a larger role in the rotation.

Mild offensive effort Watson amassed eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Watson struggled offensively in his first regular-season appearance with Cleveland, missing all three attempts from beyond the arc while committing five turnovers. His defensive contributions provided some fantasy value, but he'll need to improve his efficiency and rebounding to capitalize on his substantial playing time.

Cavs' ugly collapse vs. 76ers reminds fans not to take them seriously as contenders this season: Jimmy Watkins If you at any point wondered why the Cavs weren't generating buzz this preseason, they reminded you why on opening night.

Commits six turnovers Harden contributed 16 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Harden had a decent stat line in a game where Donovan Mitchell was the only Cavaliers player to cross the 20-point threshold. Harden led the team in assists and finished third in scoring, so he certainly made his presence felt. However, that stat line is a step in the wrong direction compared to the 2025-26 season, where Harden averaged 23.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists over 34.8 minutes per contest in 70 games combined for the Cavaliers and Clippers. This was a slow start for Harden, but he should recover his go-to playmaking and scoring role sooner rather than later.

Solid numbers in season-opening loss Mobley notched 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Mobley scored 15 of his 18 points before halftime, struggling to remain involved offensively as Philadelphia mounted its comeback. His eight rebounds were encouraging and ranked second on the team behind Donovan Mitchell's 10. Still, the absence of defensive counting stats limited his overall fantasy production. Mobley should remain a reliable source of rebounds and defensive contributions, although his scoring opportunities could fluctuate with James Harden and Donovan Mitchell handling much of Cleveland's offensive creation.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Disappears in second half Allen finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks across 28 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Allen scored all 14 of his points before halftime but failed to maintain that offensive involvement as Cleveland squandered a 29-point lead. His seven rebounds were relatively modest, although his two blocks helped preserve some fantasy value. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell in the backcourt, Allen should continue benefiting from opportunities around the rim, but his fantasy ceiling remains heavily dependent on rebounding, blocks and efficient finishing.
