Jerome closed Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 11 minutes.
Jerome was quiet in the Game 5 loss, rounding out what was a breakout season, at least from an individual standpoint. However, despite closing the season with a scoring average of 12.4 points per game, Jerome's output during the playoffs was largely underwhelming. Over the final four games, he averaged 4.7 points, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Jerome is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Friday.
Jerome struggled in his spot start in Game 2 on Tuesday, going 1-for-14 from the field and finishing with two points, three assists and two rebounds over 28 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench for Friday's crucial contest while Darius Garland (toe) returns from a four-game absence. Jerome played a key role off the Cavaliers' bench during the regular season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 19.9 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Comes up short in spot start
Rotowire
Jerome ended with two points (1-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-119 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Jerome moved into the starting lineup as a result of multiple absences from the regular rotation. Although it has been a breakout season for Jerome, he was unable to provide anything of value in a disappointing loss. Darius Garland (toe) has now missed four straight games and despite the urgency, could certainly be sidelined once again for Game 3. Jerome is likely to continue playing a key role but will need to increase his production with the series now shifting to Indiana.

Darius Garland (toe) missed his second game in a row and remains day-to-day. Sam Merrill has been starting in Garland's absence, but Jerome offers far more upside in fantasy formats. Through four postseason games, Cleveland's sixth man is averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 51.6 percent shooting from the field.

After emerging as a key piece of the Cavs' second unit late in the regular season, Jerome hasn't faded as the pressure has ramped up in the playoffs. If anything, the journeyman guard has found another gear, recording his first career double-double in the NBA during Saturday's rout. With Darius Garland (toe) banged up, Jerome could see elevated usage again Monday as Cleveland goes for the sweep in Game 4.

In the first playoff game of his career, Jerome was a one-man second unit for the Cavaliers.
