Sun Mar 1018:45Caris LeVert Starts For Cavaliers On Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert will slide into the starting unit for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. Per Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland will use its 17th different starting five this season. LeVert replaces Dean Wade (personal) on Sunday. The former Nets player went off for 31 points in his only previous start this season, and he should see plenty of the ball again versus the Nets, with four regulars absent from the lineup.

Tue Mar 518:45Caris LeVert Cleared For Action Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's contest against Boston. The 29-year-old is returning to the lineup following a two-game stint on the sidelines. With Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Max Strus (knee) out, LeVert should get to play a prominent role offensively. He's done well this season against Boston, averaging 18.5 points in 29.0 minutes with 51.9 percent shooting.

Mon Mar 420:25Caris LeVert Questionable For Meeting With Boston
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) could be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Tuesday versus Boston. He's on the injury report as questionable ahead of the big matchup. LeVert would be in line to benefit from Donovan Mitchell's (knee) absence if he can shake off a right elbow strain and play on Tuesday. Sam Merrill and Georges Niang are next on the depth chart to jump in and eat up minutes if LeVert remains out. The two are already set to profit from the absence of Max Strus (knee), although this is an incredibly tough matchup against the best team in the National Basketball Association.

Sun Mar 318:11Caris LeVert Downgraded To Out Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Caris LeVert (elbow) won't play in Sunday's contest versus the New York Knicks. After missing Friday's victory over the Detroit Pistons with a sprained right elbow, LeVert is also unavailable on Sunday. Presenting third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues over the past week, the 29-year-old sixth man is offering 14.3 points on 50.0% shooting from the field, 9.7 assists, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 threes per game covering his last three appearances. LeVert aims to return in Tuesday's clash with the first-place Boston Celtics. Isaac Okoro jumped into the Cavs first unit against Detroit, with Sam Merrill taking over as the sixth man. Look for Okoro if in need of a low-end streamer, as he's averaging 11.3 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.0 threes on 44.4% shooting from deep in 25.2 minutes over his latest 10 showings. New York is giving up the third-fewest points per game (109.9).

Sat Mar 217:05Caris LeVert Might Miss Another Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night versus Detroit because of a left elbow sprain. Of course, Cleveland has several players on the roster capable of picking up the slack. However, if LeVert can't suit up, Sam Merrill, coming off a 12-point showing on Friday, is worth streaming in deeper fantasy formats, especially if Donovan Mitchell (knee) misses another contest.

Fri Mar 118:15Caris LeVert Out With Sprained Elbow
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (elbow) is out for Friday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. A sprained right elbow made LeVert a late addition to the injury report, and the veteran swingman won't be available for the Cavs on Friday. The 29-year-old point forward tends to run hot and cold, and he appeared to be starting up a hot streak lately, supplying 14.3 points on 50.0% shooting from the field, 9.7 assists, 7.7 boards, and 1.7 treys per game across his past three showings. The 9-49 Pistons are yielding the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing shooting guards in 2023-24, so with Donovan Mitchell's (knee) void vacating the two-guard spot in Cleveland's starting five, Isaac Okoro is in play as a salary-relief DFS option with plenty of backcourt minutes freed up. Over his last six games, Okoro is totaling 12.2 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.2 threes on 46.4% shooting from downtown in 25.6 minutes per contest.

Wed Jan 2404:00Caris LeVert Iffy For Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) might be forced to sit out a third straight game on Wednesday, as the team considers him questionable for a trip to Milwaukee. Sam Merrill has had a pair of outstanding games with LeVert unavailable and figures to feature heavily again if LeVert remains out on Wednesday. It's been a good month for Merrill in general, as he's averaged 14.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists with 42.4 shooting from three-point range.

Mon Jan 2218:33Caris LeVert To Remain Out On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the second game in a row that LeVert has missed due to right wrist soreness. His absence means that Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. will see an extended look in the rotation. Merrill has been on fire lately and should be streamed in most fantasy formats. This probably won't be an extended absence for LeVert, but Merrill should have decent value until he's ready to return.

Sun Jan 2119:12Caris LeVert Might Miss Another Game On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando. The former Net has been plagued by a wrist sprain, most recently keeping him off the floor for Saturday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. With bench minutes up for grabs in that one, Georges Niang and Sam Merrill got extra work, with the duo combining for 32 points. Although it's still hard to trust either man from a fantasy standpoint, they are worth considering for streaming purposes if LeVert can't go on Monday.

Sat Jan 2019:28Caris LeVert Sidelined Versus Atlanta
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) isn't available for Saturday's game against Atlanta. He's battled a lingering wrist issue for a while, although it will finally keep him off the floor. The 29-year-old is averaging 16 points this season, primarily from off the bench, meaning there will be scoring chances up for grabs. Although Donovan Mitchell will obviously remain the top-scoring option, there's good for guys like Isaac Okoro, Max Strus, and Georges Niang to get enough work to warrant streaming consideration in every fantasy setup.

Fri Jan 1918:05Caris LeVert Doubtful Versus Atlanta
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The injury isn't anything new. However, he'll now miss his first game since December 23. The Cavs will also continue to operate without Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee), so scoring chances will be up for grabs. Of course, Donovan Mitchell will remain the primary scoring option. But guys like Jarrett Allen, Max Strus, and Isaac Okoro should also continue to benefit from a statistical standpoint.

Tue Jan 1621:55Caris LeVert Lands On Injury Report
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. LeVert finds himself on the injury report due to right wrist soreness. He looked fine during his 30 minutes of playing time against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The expectation is that LeVert will play, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. The Cavs would likely use a committee approach between Sam Merrill, Craig Porter Jr. and Emoni Bates. Merrill might have some deep league value with an expanded role in the rotation.

Wed Dec 27 202320:28Caris LeVert Cleared For Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. LeVert is back in the rotation after missing Saturday's game due to a knee issue. He should be asked to take on a bigger role with Donovan Mitchell (illness) still on the sideline. LeVert will resume his normal role as the sixth-man with Craig Porter Jr. starting in place of Mitchell. However, LeVert is the better streaming option between the two players.

Sun Dec 10 202318:58Caris LeVert Set To Miss Another Game On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's Monday night game against the Orlando Magic. This will be his fourth consecutive missed game due to left knee injury management. There still hasn't been any word about when he'll return from this "injury management." So, while he remains out, Isaac Okoro should see most of the vacated minutes off of the bench while Craig Porter Jr. will also get some added action.

Fri Dec 8 202310:08Caris LeVert Won't Suit Up Against Heat
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out of his third consecutive game due to left knee injury management. Since he's listed as injury management, it doesn't seem as though he should miss that much more time. There hasn't been any clear word on when he's expected to return though. As he watches from the sidelines, Isaac Okoro will continue to see most of the wing minutes off of the bench. Once LeVert returns, Okoro will likely take a step back production-wise.

Wed Dec 6 202309:59Caris LeVert Sits Out Second Consecutive Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Orlando. He didn't practice on Tuesday and will watch things from the sidelines, as he also did on Saturday versus Detroit. With him on the shelf, Isaac Okoro almost doubled his regular playing time over the weekend, and Georges Niang also saw extra minutes. However, neither player is an attractive option for fantasy managers.

Tue Dec 5 202315:56No Practice For Caris LeVert Again
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said guard Caris LeVert (knee) didn't practice on Tuesday. The Cavaliers are managing LeVert's left knee injury, which stems from mid-November. LeVert didn't play on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons and has now missed consecutive practice sessions, trending in the wrong direction for Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. The 29-year-old point forward is cooling down after a torrid start to the year and with the Cavs healthier now, averaging 8.3 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 25.7 minutes across his last six games. Spot-up wing Isaac Okoro appeared to be the direct fantasy beneficiary of LeVert's absence on Saturday, nabbing six rebounds, four assists, and four steals in 33 minutes with the Cleveland reserves against Detroit.

Fri Dec 1 202323:27Caris LeVert Sitting Out Against Detroit
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The veteran is listed on the injury report for injury management purposes, so he'll likely be back on Wednesday when the Cavaliers host the Orlando Magic. Of course, LeVert absorbs the most minutes from off the bench, meaning rookie Craig Porter Jr., who's had some potent fantasy showings this season, could work his way back into the rotation, even if it's just for one game.

Wed Nov 22 202319:01Caris LeVert Playing With Minutes Cap Against Heat
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) will play on a minutes restriction in Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat. LeVert was listed for left knee injury management that cost him the last two contests, but it fortunately never came off as a serious problem. The 29-year-old point forward's return arrives at an opportune juncture for Cleveland, who are still missing franchise cornerstone Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) with a bad hamstring. LeVert still carries DFS appeal in a reduced role, despite the Cavs sporting the slowest offense in the NBA in terms of possessions per game (96.8). Wednesday's offering appropriately shows a slate-low 211.5-point implied total against the Heat, but LeVert is a top-100 fantasy guy with 18.0 points, 3.8 assists, 1.9 treys, and 1.3 steals per game.

Wed Nov 22 202315:18Donovan Mitchell Out, Caris LeVert Iffy Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat, while guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable. Mitchell will remain out for the fourth game in a row due to a right hamstring strain. On a four-game winning streak, Cleveland continues a five-game homestand with the first leg of a back-to-back set on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers, marking Mitchell's next chance to return. The 27-year-old four-time All-Star has put up magnificent numbers in 2023-24, averaging 29.2 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 threes, and 2.0 swipes. With LeVert still up in the air due to left knee injury management that's taken him out of action for consecutive contests, Darius Garland is going to be busy either way. Perhaps we'll get another look at undrafted rookie Craig Porter Jr., who has emerged from obscurity for 15.0 points, 6.0 dimes, 1.0 steals per game over his last three nights.
