Tue Mar 8 202214:52Caris LeVert To Miss Revenge Game Against Pacers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against his former team, the Indiana Pacers. This will be his seventh consecutive game on the sidelines. LeVert is nursing a right foot sprain and it seems as if he's still at least a few days away from making his return. LeVert was traded from the Pacers to the Cavaliers prior to this year's deadline, but he's only managed to suit up in four games for the Cavs. Over those four outings, he's averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Thu Mar 3 202215:24Caris LeVert To Remain Out On Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (foot) won't suit up for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This doesn't come as a shock considering LeVert was expected to miss a week or two. However, it has been one week and the team continues ruling out LeVert in advance. That being said, it doesn't sound like LeVert will be taking the court anytime soon. In the meantime, Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman will be asked to play more minutes. The return of Darius Garland is helpful as he'll take on a heavier load offensively.

Thu Feb 24 202214:55Caris LeVert Could Miss Two Weeks
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (foot) is expected to miss at least a week or two of action. This is a tough blow to the Cavs who are already without Darius Garland (back) for Thursday's game. Hopefully. Garland can return in time for their next matchup, which will somewhat ease the loss of LeVert. In the meantime, Brandon Goodwin, Rajon Rondo, Isaac Okoro, and Cedi Osman will be asked to pick up the slack. Goodwin and Osman are the two best streaming options out of the bunch.

Wed Feb 23 202221:03Caris LeVert Won't Play Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (ankle) won't be available for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He seemed fine going into the All-Star break, so hopefully this isn't anything serious. Both LeVert and Darius Garland (back) will be sidelined for Thursday's game. Brandon Goodwin, Isaac Okoro, and Rajon Rondo should all benefit without these two players on the court. Goodwin is the best streaming option out of the three players. Lauri Markkanen (ankle) is expected to return on Thursday, so he'll likely be asked to play a bigger role on offense with LeVert sidelined.

Wed Feb 9 202218:17Caris LeVert To Make His Cavaliers Debut Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert, acquired in a trade with the Indiana Pacers this past weekend, will make his debut with the team in Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. LeVert will be coming off the bench for the game. It's unclear whether the team plans to keep him in a bench role or insert him into the starting lineup at some point. Regardless, he should have a big role with the team going forward. Over 39 games with the Pacers this year, LeVert averaged 18.7 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. His numbers will likely take a dip in Cleveland, but he should still produce sufficient numbers for fantasy managers the rest of the way.

Sun Feb 6 202216:44Caris LeVert Traded To Cavaliers
The Pacers are trading guard Caris LeVert and a 2022 second-round pick (via Miami) to the Cavaliers. In exchange, Cleveland will be sending Ricky Rubio, a 2022 first-round pick (lottery-protected), a 2022 second-round pick (via Houston), and a 2027 second-round pick (via Utah) back to Indiana. The Cavaliers have been red-hot this season, currently holding the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. As a result, the addition of LeVert, who is averaging 18.7 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.8 boards this year, can only mean good things for Cleveland moving ahead. The 27-year-old is one of the most efficient scorers in the league. However, LeVert's health has been a consistent issue over the years, and his subpar percentages from deep will undoubtedly negatively impact category managers.

Mon Jan 24 202218:49Caris LeVert Will Suit Up For Monday’s Game
Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Caris LeVert (calf) has been cleared to play in Monday's contest vs. the Pelicans, returning from a two-game absence. LeVert figures to be Indiana's primary playmaker when on the court with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) still sidelined, heavily elevating his upside, even if it comes with a slightly reduced minutes total. LeVert compiled 30 points in just 27 minutes in his latest outing, having averaged 24.6 PPG over his last eight contests. New Orleans' defense has yielded the fifth-highest opponents' shooting percentage (46.7%) this season, propelling LeVert into sizable DFS consideration during the short slate.

Sat Jan 22 202219:47Caris LeVert Will Miss Saturday’s Contest
Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Caris LeVert (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. Phoenix due to right calf soreness. LeVert's absence is his second in a row, paving the way for Chris Duarte, Justin Holiday, and Lance Stephenson to all see larger roles on the wing; with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) also down, Keifer Sykes stands to see significant minutes at the point. LeVert was in a sizable offensive rhythm prior to the ailment cropping up, as he averaged 23 PPG over his last four contests while shooting 56.5 percent overall. His next chance to return to action comes Monday against the Pelicans.

Wed Jan 12 202217:44Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert Will Play Wednesday
Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and point/shooting guard Caris LeVert have been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game vs. the Celtics. Brogdon is returning from a nine-game absence, while LeVert is back after five contests spent on the sidelines, with both likely facing capped minutes totals out of the gate. Prior to entering the league's health and safety protocols, LeVert was clicking on all cylinders offensively, averaging 26.3 points and 8.0 assists over his last four games. Brogdon has been slowed by injuries in 2021-22, but his contributions across the board (19 points, 6.1 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game) still make him an excellent fantasy asset whenever healthy.

Sun Jan 2 202217:08Caris LeVert Enters COVID-19 Protocols
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert has entered health and safety protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup with Cleveland, and he won't be available for the game. With Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Duarte still in the protocols, Indiana's backcourt situation will get rather interesting. Duane Washington Jr. has already made his way into the starting unit and we could end up seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces carrying a heavy load. And one familiar face as well, with Lance Stephenson having rejoined the club on a 10-day contract. Meanwhile, Domantas Sabonis' usage will likely go through the roof.

Fri Dec 31 202120:12Caris LeVert Carries On Bizarre 27-Point Streak
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert somehow managed to record 27 points for a third consecutive game on Friday, shooting 11-for-22 from the field in a losing effort against Chicago. He was 1-for-5 from outside and 4-for-7 at the line, adding six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block with three turnovers in 37 minutes. Malcolm Brogdon has been out nursing an Achilles problem and is also now in health and safety protocols, meaning LeVert will continue to see a lot of the ball. The next matchup will be a very tough one for LeVert and the Pacers, as they start 2022 on Sunday with a battle against the Cavaliers, who are ranked third in defensive efficiency.

Mon Dec 27 202111:37Caris LeVert Continues To Carry Indiana's Offense
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert scored a team-high 27 points and delivered nine assists in Sunday's loss to Chicago, hitting 9-for-22 from the field and 3-for-10 from downtown with a 6-for-7 effort at the line. His work included four rebounds, one steal and one block with one turnover in 39 minutes. With Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) out, LeVert has taken over most of the playmaking duties and he's been logging some very heavy minutes. The 27-year-old has been pretty injury-prone in his career, so hopefully the Pacers are monitoring his situation and won't overplay him. There are a few free nights now for LeVert and the Pacers ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets. LeVert had a miserable time against Charlotte earlier in the season, but it's a meeting against the worst defensive team in the league, so there are actually no reasons why he shouldn't be able to keep up his recent improved form.

Fri Dec 24 202110:11Caris LeVert Bags A Double-Double In Thursday's Win
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert recorded his first double-double of the season on Thursday, finishing a 118-106 win over Houston with 24 points and 11 assists. He wasn't far from a triple-double either, notching eight rebounds. LeVert shot 8-for-18 from the field with a 2-for-6 record from deep and capped off a fantastic night with three steals and one block. He had more playmaking duties here because Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) missed the game. There were others sitting out the contest as well, but LeVert combined well with Myles Turner to lead the side to victory. He'll continue to have a very big role offensively if Brogdon is forced to miss an extended period of time.

Wed Dec 22 202108:14Caris LeVert Cools Down Versus Miami
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert summed up the team's performance on Tuesday against Miami, shooting just 4-for-15 from the field to finish a 125-96 loss with 17 points. Three of his makes came from downtown with five attempts. LeVert finished 6-for-6 at the line and capped off his night with four rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 30 minutes. This was a miserable game for the Pacers and Malcolm Brogdon's early exit with an Achilles problem made it even more. LeVert entered the action after going off for a season-high 31 points against Detroit, and with Brogdon out, he had a good opportunity to produce another big performance, but the former Net sadly wasn't able to do it. LeVert has averaged 19.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds this season in games without Brogdon, and it seems likely that he'll log another such game on Thursday against Houston.

Mon Nov 29 202107:46Caris LeVert Nets Season-High 23 Points With Four Triples
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert scored a season-high 23 points in 27 minutes during Sunday's 118-100 loss against the Bucks, shooting 9-for-13 from the field and a superb 4-for-5 from downtown. LeVert finished things off with two rebounds, one steal and three turnovers. Domantas Sabonis was limited to a season-low four points and the Pacers couldn't hang with the defending champs here, but LeVert played well and should get a much-needed confidence boost. Coming back from injury, LeVert made a pretty solid start to the season, but he's been slumping for a couple of weeks. Having also put up 19 points against Toronto on Friday, it looks like he's started to break out of it.

Wed Nov 24 202118:43Caris LeVert Will Play Against The Lakers
Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert (back) will play on Wednesday against the Lakers. The 27-year-old has been battling back soreness for quite a while. However, while it's good news for the team and fantasy managers to see him play through the ailment, he will likely continue operating under a minute's restriction, making his outlook against Los Angeles even cloudier. Nonetheless, Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis are the favorites to pick up the slack on the offensive end, with Justin Holiday also on the radar as a value option with upside in DFS tournament setups.

Tue Nov 23 202118:47Caris LeVert Might Sit Out On Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has not missed a game this season, but is in danger of sitting out here. The organization is likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to game time before making a final decision. Chris Duarte could be asked to slide into the starting five, while Justin Holiday gets more minutes. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for more information.

Fri Nov 12 202120:37Indiana Deems Caris LeVert Questionable For Saturday
Indiana Pacers small forward Caris LeVert (back) has been listed as questionable to suit up for Saturday's game against Philadelphia due to a sore back. LeVert has missed the team's past two contests due to the ailment, opening the door for Justin Holiday to step into the starting five. Without LeVert's offensive contributions, fellow backcourt mates T.J. McConnell, Chris Duarte and Kelan Martin have all stepped up in the scoring column, a trend that would figure to continue should LeVert remain unavailable. While the 27-year-old has scuffled behind the arc early (21.4 percent) in the year, he remains a must-start fantasy cog when cleared to take the floor.

Thu Nov 11 202118:48Caris LeVert Out Again Thursday
Indiana Pacers forward Caris LeVert (back) will miss another game on Thursday against the Jazz. LeVert experienced back stiffness during the team's shootaround Wednesday and isn't yet healthy enough to return to action. He should still be considered day-to-day. In his absence, expect Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis to do the heavy lifting on offense, with Chris Duarte likely factoring in as well. Brogdon and Sabonis are the stronger DFS plays- as both are coming off excellent games.

Wed Nov 10 202120:24Caris LeVert Out Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert (back) won't play against the Nuggets Wednesday. LeVert went through the team's shootaround but ultimately didn't feel healthy enough to take part in game action- with head coach Rick Carlisle noting that this wasn't a situation where he aggravated the injury. LeVert is still dealing with a stiff back, so he should be considered day-to-day on the front end of his team's back-to-back, with his next chance to return coming on Thursday versus Jazz. Domantas Sabonis, Chris Duarte, and Malcolm Brogdon should all be more involved against Denver. Sabonis could be the best play of the bunch, as the Nuggets have struggled this year against power forwards.
