Offers nothing in start Wade closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Wade remained in the starting lineup, although he offered nothing in terms of tangible production. Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, this effort was more in line with what we have come to expect from Wade. Through 26 games, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game. Even if he continues to start, there is no reason to pay too much attention, outside of deeper formats.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Wade is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Pacers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Across two starts this season, Wade has registered averages of 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 triples, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared Friday Wade (knee) will play in Friday's game against Atlanta, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Wade (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Wade remains day-to-day after missing Monday's game against the Raptors. The forward is averaging 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest this season.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Wade will miss his first game since Nov. 7 due to a hyperextended right knee. With both him and De'Andre Hunter (rest) sidelined, Nae'Qwan Tomlin could be in line for extended minutes at forward Monday. Wade's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Wade (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Wade is battling a hyperextended knee in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the Clippers. If he ends up sitting out, Nae'Qwan Tomlin would be likely be needed to handle significant minutes for the banged-up Cavaliers.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing in win Wade produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 victory over the Clippers.

Impact This was a solid line for Wade, but his overall fantasy impact this season has left a lot to be desired. Over 17 appearances, Wade has averaged 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes per contest.

Fills stat sheet off bench Wade logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 118-106 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Wade didn't have much of an impact in the scoring column but managed to piece together his best rebounding performance of the young campaign. He was also effective as a defender, recording at least one block and one steal in a game for just the fourth time this year. Despite a decent showing across the board Monday, Wade isn't currently worth rostering in the majority of leagues.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Wade will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

Impact Evan Mobley is back from his rest day, so Wade will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Wade has posted averages of 5.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 triples per contest.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Wade will start Wednesday against the Heat.

Impact Wade should see a decent amount of opportunity Wednesday with Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Evan Mobley (rest) all unavailable. If you need some points and triples, Wade makes sense as a streamer target.

Cleared to play Saturday Wade (eye) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact An eye injury prevented Wade from playing Friday against the Wizards, but he has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set. He's averaging a career-high 21.5 minutes per game this season in a reserve role, though he's shooting just 35.9 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three-point range on 3.9 3PA/G.

Iffy for Saturday Wade (eye) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Wade exited Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers due to an eye injury and didn't return, and the injury will also keep him sidelined for this contest. Wade doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal with averages of 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in eight appearances (one start) this season. His next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Impact Specifics regarding the injury are unknown at this point, but Wade may be unable to return Wednesday because of the issue. Larry Nance, Thomas Bryant and Luke Travers are the likeliest candidates to see an uptick in minutes while Wade is sidelined.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sliding back to bench Sunday Wade won't start in Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Impact The 28-year-old forward will retreat to the bench in favor of Larry Nance with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Over six regular-season outings (one start), Wade has averaged 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 24.3 minutes per game.

Impact Wade made his first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring). Wade struggled with his shot, but he contributed meaningfully in other ways with season highs in steals and blocks. He would revert to his bench role Sunday against the Hawks if Mitchell is cleared to return.
