Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Heating up from beyond arc
Garland racked up 22 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 win over the Celtics.
Garland's 22 points were overshadowed a bit by backcourt mate Donovan Mitchell's game-high 35 points on the strength of his second-half heroics in Sunday's narrow win over the defending-champion Celtics, but this display was a major improvement from Garland's 3-for-21 showing from the floor in a loss to Boston on Nov. 19. The 24-year-old star guard has returned to form in his past four outings following that dreadful performance, however, averaging 21.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per game and shooting a hot 53.6 percent from deep during this period. Garland has a highly favorable matchup Tuesday with the 2-16 Wizards, a club with the worst defensive efficiency rating (117.6) in the NBA this season.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Takes over in fourth quarter in win
Mitchell supplied 35 points (12-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 victory over the Celtics.
Mitchell came up huge for the Cavaliers in Sunday's narrow win, scoring 20 of his game-high 35 points in the fourth quarter and making each of his six field-goal attempts in the final period. It was a much-needed bounce-back effort for Mitchell, who scored just 12 points in Friday's loss to the Hawks and was shooting just 40.4 percent from the field in his last five games. The star guard would appear to have a good chance of building off Sunday's performance in Tuesday's game at home against the 2-16 Wizards, a team allowing the second-most points per game (123.1) in the league this year.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Hauls in 10 rebounds Sunday
Allen posted eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 victory over the Celtics.
Allen matched frontcourt mate Evan Mobley with 10 boards in a tough matchup with Kristaps Porzingis and the Celtics, but Allen was able to post his 12th outing of the year with double-digit rebounds and continue a solid string of play since Nov. 13. Over his last nine games, Allen is shooting a highly efficient 78.1 percent from the floor while averaging 15.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old star big man should continue to provide a high field-goal percentage with strong rebounding and a palatable free-throw percentage for fantasy managers going forward.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't suit up Tuesday
Wade (ankle), who has already been ruled out of Sunday's game against Boston, will not play in Tuesday's game against Washington, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
Wade will miss the Cavaliers' next two games due to a left ankle sprain, extending his absence streak to seven outings. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Isaac Okoro should remain in the starting five while Georges Niang and Sam Merrill will likely continue to see increased minutes off the bench. Wade's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Nuggets.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Still no return timeline
Coach Kenny Atkinson said Sunday that Strus (ankle) still doesn't have a return timeline, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
Strus has yet to play this season after spraining his right ankle during a workout ahead of training camp. Given Atkinson's vague timeline, it would be surprising if Strus made his season debut in December. Isaac Okoro continues to start at small forward in Strus' absence.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Won't play vs. Boston
Strus (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Strus has yet to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut after spraining his right ankle during a workout in mid-October. He'll continue to progress through his recovery, and his next opportunity to see the court will be Tuesday against the Wizards.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Double-double vs. Atlanta
Mobley chipped in 24 points (10-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 117-101 loss to Atlanta.
Mobley finished Friday's game with a team-high 12 rebounds (including four offensive boards) and was the Cavs' second-leading scorer behind Darius Garland (29). Mobley has logged a double-double in five of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 19.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals over 32.7 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Team-high 29 points Friday
Garland accumulated 29 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 117-101 loss to Atlanta.
Garland and Evan Mobley (24) carried the scoring load for the Cavaliers on Friday in a game that saw leading scorer Donovan Mitchell score just 12 points on 5-of-23 shooting. It was the third time this season that Garland has connected on five threes or more, and over his last three outings he's gone 11-for-23 from beyond the arc.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Struggles from field vs. Hawks
Mitchell contributed 12 points (5-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 117-101 loss to Atlanta.
Mitchell managed to finish Friday's game with his second double-double of the regular season, but he failed to connect on his first nine field-goal attempts and converted on just 21.7 percent of his shot attempts. He'll look to get his shooting stroke back against the Celtics on Sunday, and in his last outing against Boston on Nov. 19, Mitchell logged 35 points, eight rebounds and three assists over 40 minutes in an overtime loss.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Muted production in return
LeVert (knee) provided eight points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in 20 minutes off the bench in Friday's 117-101 loss to the Hawks.
LeVert typically assumes more offensive responsibility on the second unit, but he was more deferential in his return from a four-game absence due to a left knee injury. He took on a 14.4 percent usage rate Friday, well behind his season-long rate of 17.5 percent. LeVert could see his minutes and usage pick up slightly as he becomes further removed from the injury, but his upside in both areas will be somewhat capped while the Cavaliers have most of their key rotational players available with the exception of Max Strus (ankle), who could be ready to make his season debut as soon as some point during the upcoming week.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Active Friday
LeVert (knee) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
LeVert is expected to return to game action after a four-game absence due to left knee injury management. The 30-year-old has delivered a solid season off the bench thus far, and in his last five outings he averaged 11.4 points, 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 46.3 percent from the field across 27.6 minutes per game.

Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Wade will miss a fifth straight game due to a left ankle sprain. Isaac Okoro should continue to start in Wade's absence, while Sam Merrill, Ty Jerome and Georges Niang remain candidates for increased roles. Wade's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus Boston.
