Thu Nov 29 2012 | 14:27 | Daniel Gibson (elbow) back at practice |
Daniel Gibson (elbow) was back at practice on Thursday. |
He had an X-ray and an MRI to be sure everything was fine structurally and they came back clean. He should produce some 3-pointers at the very least with Kyrie Irving (finger) not close to a return and is worth a look in deeper formats. Owners should consider Boobie as probable to play Friday. |

The X-ray on Daniel Gibson (elbow) came back negative and he is listed as day-to-day. |
Gibson missed Tuesday's game as a late scratch and Boobie could still miss more time. He should also get an MRI on the injury, so we'll pass along that info once it is available. Gibson does have some promise with Kyrie Irving (finger) out of the lineup, but Boobie won't be worth owning until he's able to show he is healthy. |

Tue Nov 27 2012 | 19:42 | Daniel Gibson sits out with sore elbow |
Daniel Gibson is a late scratch for Tuesday with a lingering right elbow injury. |
He played on Monday but the elbow, which has bothered him for some time, acted up on him again on Tuesday. This should mean more minutes and production opportunities for Jeremy Pargo, who is filling in at point guard for Kyrie Irving. |

Daniel Gibson scored 11 points off the bench on Monday against the Grizzlies, hitting 3-of-10 shots (including two threes) with one rebound, two assists, and one steal in 30 minutes. |
Gibson's fantasy line was passable at best, but the team ran better when he was on the floor. Given Kyrie Irving's finger injury, he stands a good chance of being useful over the next few weeks and he'll have a bit of upside, too. |

Daniel Gibson, playing his second game after an elbow injury, came off the bench for 11 points, two 3-pointers, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes. |
Gibson has been one of the Cavs' only reliable options off the bench, and Kyrie's absence should ensure more minutes and shot attempts for at least a few weeks. |

Fri Nov 23 2012 | 22:21 | Daniel Gibson plays through elbow injury |
Daniel Gibson played through his sore elbow but missed all three of his shots, finishing with three points and six assists in 25 minutes. |
It's quickly become clear that Jeremy Pargo is the guy to own in the absence of Kyrie Irving (finger), but Gibson's minutes were solid tonight. Once he's fully healthy he could split minutes with Pargo until Irving's return, but Pargo is the one to own for now. |

Fri Nov 23 2012 | 18:21 | Daniel Gibson (elbow) will play Friday |
Daniel Gibson (elbow) said that he will play on Friday. |
Gibson said this is the first time his elbow has felt "right" since the injury, and his short-term outlook is promising with Kyrie Irving out with a fractured finger. Give him a look if you need a short-term boost in points and 3-pointers. |

Wed Nov 21 2012 | 19:02 | Daniel Gibson won't play against Sixers |
Daniel Gibson (elbow) will sit out Wednesday's game against the 76ers. |
Gibson was an option for the Cavs at PG with Kyrie Irving (finger) out, but, at least for Wednesday, Byron Scott will have to turn elsewhere. Expect Dion Waiters to have a very big role against the Sixers, while Jeremy Pargo is starting and is worth a speculative add with Boobie out. If he does well, he could cement a future role for the next few weeks. The same thing can be said for Donald Sloan, but he'll have to make an impression coming off the bench. |

Tue Nov 20 2012 | 09:22 | Daniel Gibson could start at PG for Irving |
Daniel Gibson could start at PG while Kyrie Irving (finger) is out, but Byron Scott has not yet decided who will start. |
The Cavs could use Gibson, but that would weaken an already pathetic bench. Dion Waiters will undoubtedly do more ball-handling, and if the team doesn't start Gibson, the options are either Jeremy Pargo or Donald Sloan. Waiters should be owned in all formats with Irving on the shelf, and Gibson's fantasy appeal would rise in a starting role. |

Mon Nov 19 2012 | 23:04 | Boobie Gibson expects to play Wednesday |
Daniel Gibson (elbow) is expecting to play Wednesday against the Sixers. |
Boobie is going to have much more on his plate now that Kyrie could miss up to six weeks with a fractured finger. Boobie could emerge as an asset in some leagues since he is already making 2.1 3-pointers per game in just 21.7 minutes this season. |

Sun Nov 18 2012 | 20:43 | Daniel Gibson sidelined by 'stiff' elbow |
Contrary to pre-game reports, Daniel Gibson (elbow) did not play on Sunday. |
Gibson's elbow was described as "stiff" so hopefully this will be the only game he misses. The Cavs' second unit desperately needs his production. |

Sun Nov 18 2012 | 18:46 | Daniel Gibson (elbow) questionable for Sunday |
Daniel Gibson (elbow) injured his right elbow on Saturday night, but he will play on Sunday. |
The injury tightened up on him in warmups. Gibson is coming off a nice 16-point outing from Saturday ad is worth a look in deeper leagues. If Boobie is can't play his normal amount of minutes, rookie Dion Waiters would likely play a bigger role. |

Sat Nov 17 2012 | 22:15 | Daniel Gibson leads Cavs' bench w/ 16 points |
Daniel Gibson once again spear-headed the Cavaliers' bench efforts on Saturday, scoring 16 points with four 3-pointers, five assists and three steals. |
Gibson logged 27 minutes, and he and Tyler Zeller are obviously the only bench players Byron Scott trusts right now. Give him a look if you're in need of points and 3s. |

Mon Nov 12 2012 | 00:17 | Daniel Gibson stays hot, scores 16 on Sunday |
Daniel Gibson scored 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting vs. the Thunder on Sunday, adding five rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes. |
Gibson is a nice 3-point specialist when healthy, which hasn't been very often in the past few seasons. He's made 10 three-pointers in the past three games alone, and his contributions are sorely needed in Cleveland's second unit -- the other five bench players scored 13 points combined in Sunday's loss. |

Sat Nov 10 2012 | 05:11 | Gibson scores 19 points off the bench |
Daniel Gibson scored 19 points off the bench on Friday against the Suns, hitting 7-of-9 shots (including five threes) with two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes. |
Gibson has inched up to borderline value in 12-team leagues on the strength of this performance, and while this line has some obvious issues with outliers it's also true that Byron Scott appears to be shortening up his rotation. Gibson is on the right side of that equation, so give him a look in 14-16 team formats. |

Daniel Gibson will not play on Tuesday due to mild concussion symptoms. |
Gibson needs to clear the league's rigorous "concussion protocol process" before he can be cleared for basketball activities. It's a tough blow for the oft-injured guard, who is coming off foot surgery but recently declared himself nearly 100 percent recovered. |
