Max Strus - Recalled after G League practice The Cavaliers recalled Strus from the G League's Cleveland Charge after he practiced with the affiliate Monday.

Impact Strus has been sidelined all season while recovering from August surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot, but he's expected to be cleared to play at some point within the next week, per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. The 29-year-old wing took a big step forward in his recovery process by practicing in the G League on Monday, and he may just need to get another session or two under his belt before the Cavaliers give him the green light to play. Whenever he's formally cleared to play, Strus will likely be operating with a significant minutes restriction.

Dean Wade - Double-doubles in win Wade supplied 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 115-101 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Wade recorded his first double-double of the season, a welcome sight for anyone holding him in deeper formats. Despite having carved out a starting role, Wade has been far from a must-roster player, averaging just 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in seven appearances over the past month.

Dennis Schröder - Muted effort in win Schroder ended with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Schroder scored fewer than five points for the second straight game, playing a modest role for his new team. In 14 games since joining the Cavaliers, Schroder has served as a backup guard, only playing meaningful minutes when others ahead of him are on the sideline. As a player who has been outside the top 200 for the entire season, managers should view him as nothing more than a streaming option, but only when he plays an elevated role.

Larry Nance Jr. - Rare sighting Monday Nance chipped in no counting stats across four minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Nance played for just the second time in the past nine games, continuing what has been an uneventful season. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, Nance simply hasn't been a factor on most nights, averaging 3.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game, seeing the floor on just 28 occasions.

Keon Ellis - Delivers 19 points off bench Ellis totaled 19 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 115-101 win over the 76ers.

Impact Ellis was instrumental off the bench in this one and finished second on the team in scoring behind James Harden's 21-point night. This was an unexpected outburst from Ellis, who'd been held to 11 total points in his previous three appearances combined. Despite an impressive performance Monday, he's been unable to consistently product for Cleveland, as he's been held to single figures in eight of his last 10 outings.

Impact As expected, Wade will suit up for a second consecutive contest following a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Over six appearances since the All-Star break, the 29-year-old forward has averaged 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per tilt.

Sam Merrill - Struggles with shot Merrill amassed five points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Merrill saw a healthy workload Sunday but could not make the most of his minutes with Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined. He remains a low-end fantasy asset with season averages of 12.9 points, 3.3 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.9 minutes per contest.

Dean Wade - Probable for Monday Wade (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Wade returned from a three-game absence Sunday and logged 21 minutes with seven points and three rebounds. His ankle responded well, and the Cavaliers are anticipating that he will play for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Jarrett Allen - Ruled out Monday Allen is out for Monday's game against the 76ers with right knee tendonitis.

Impact Allen is missing a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if the star big man has resumed practicing. Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should both play an expanded role in Allen's absence, making both players worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.
