Turns in quiet showing Wade produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-91 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Wade continues to be held in check on the offensive end and has scored six or fewer points in three of his previous four appearances. It's also worth noting that he's seen a decrease in playing time during this stretch, averaging 21.0 minutes per game in comparison to 27.5 minutes per game he averaged from Jan. 21 - Jan. 26. Opportunities could become even more difficult to come by for Wade with Jaylon Tyson playing well and James Harden (recently traded) expected to make his Cleveland debut Saturday.

Notches seven points Wade finished with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 114-98 victory over Orlando.

Impact Although Wade continues to see sizable workloads for the Cavaliers, his fantasy appeal leaves a lot to be desired. Over his last five outings, he's averaging 5.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes per contest.

Impact In his return from a five-game absence due to a left knee contusion, Wade took back a spot in the starting five but saw minimal involvement on the offensive end, with his 6.9 percent usage rate ranking last among Cavaliers rotation players. While Wade will likely continue to start for Cleveland and see his minutes pick up in future contests, his role isn't especially fantasy-friendly. Over his previous nine non-injury-shortened starts prior to Monday, Wade averaged 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 25.6 minutes.
