Dennis Schröder News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Limited role continues Schroder notched three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.

Impact Schroder, while still providing Cleveland with a solid backup, continues to offer very little during his limited time on the floor. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 5.9 points and 3.8 assists in 20.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 300 in standard leagues.

Limited to reserve role Schroder finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 16 minutes.

Impact With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy in the Cavaliers' backcourt, Schroder's fantasy appeal remains muted. The veteran guard has scored in single figures in nine consecutive games (no starts), during which Schroder has averaged 4.6 points, 3.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Impact With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy for the Cavaliers, Schroder's fantasy value is on a downward trend. Schroder has averaged 4.2 points, 3.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a woeful 38.5 percent from the floor during this period.

Dennis Schroder's honeymoon phase in Cleveland is already over With Dennis Schroder's recent struggles, the Cleveland Cavaliers have seen both ends of the deal with their new backup point guard.

MARCH 12 • KINGJAMESGOSPEL.COM

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.

Not starting Sunday Schroder won't start against the Nets on Sunday.

Impact With James Harden (thumb) back in action following a two-game absence, Schroder will retreat to the second unit. Over eight appearances off the bench for Cleveland, the veteran guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 20.3 minutes per tilt.

Near double-double vs. Detroit Schroder notched 12 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 122-119 overtime loss to Detroit.

Impact Schroder was initially tagged as questionable for Friday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but the veteran point guard was cleared to play and was in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game due to the absences of James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin). Schroder didn't have an efficient night from the field but got his teammates involved with nine assists, falling one dime shy from logging his third double-double of the season (and first since Dec. 21 against the Rockets as a member of the Kings). Schroder would likely start against the Nets on Sunday if one or both of Harden and Mitchell were unable to play.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Schroder (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact The Cavaliers are without Donovan Mitchell (groin) and James Harden (thumb) on Friday, which should allow Schroder to start. Schroder has started 15 games in 2025-26 across his time with Cleveland and Sacramento, averaging 12.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.1 minutes per tilt over this span.

Upgraded to probable Schroder is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons with a right ankle sprain.

Impact The Cavaliers are upgrading Schroder from questionable to probable Friday. The veteran guard should see a rise in playmaking duties in the absence of Donovan Mitchell (groin), as Schroder made his first start since joining Cleveland during Wednesday's loss in Milwaukee.

Questionable for Friday Schroder is questionable for Friday's game in Detroit due to a sprained right ankle.

Impact Donovan Mitchell (groin) has already been ruled out, and James Harden (thumb) is questionable as well, so the Cavs' could be very thin at the point guard position Friday evening. If both Harden and Schroder are out, Craig Porter would likely get a spot-start and he'd make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Impresses in spot start Schroder posted 26 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Schroder saw his name penciled into the starting five Wednesday night with James Harden (thumb) sidelined, and he didn't disappoint. Schroder gave the Cavs a fighting chance, combining with Jarrett Allen to pour in 53 of his team's 116 points. This is just one point shy of his best outing of the season, when he dropped 27 points Jan. 29 while with the Kings. Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in eight games off the bench since being dealt to Cleveland, so his production figures to take a large hit when Harden is cleared to return, which could arrive as soon as Friday in Detroit.

Starting sans Harden Schroder is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Schroder will step into the starting lineup Wednesday night due to the absence of James Harden (thumb). In eight games with the Cavaliers, Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 4.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 20.3 minutes. Wednesday's game will be his first start for Cleveland.

Sees 22 minutes off bench Schroder accumulated 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Both Schroder and Keon Ellis have secured decent roles off the bench, but neither player has standard-league fantasy appeal as long as James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are upright. Through seven appearances with Cleveland, Schroder has averaged 8.7 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes across seven contests.

Limited off bench again Schroder produced seven points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Schroder continues to serve as a backup option, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the third time in the past four games since arriving in Cleveland. Even in starter-level minutes, Schroder has never really been a consistent fantasy asset. Given his current role, he is far from a must-roster player, outside of deeper formats.
