  • 88-92-0 7th Place
    • Plays 17 minutes in return
      Wade (knee) finished Saturday's 106-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal round with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes.

      Advice: Suiting up for the first time since March 8 after needing two months to heal up from a sprained knee, Wade captured a rotation spot and helped provide the Cavaliers with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. Though he acquitted himself well during his time on the court, Wade is unlikely to see his role grow substantially as the series rolls along, especially once center Jarrett Allen (ribs) is back in action.

    • Struggles in Game 3 loss
      Strus totaled six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Strus continues to deliver nothing but mediocrity, scoring fewer than 15 points for the eighth time in the past nine games, all during the playoffs. If the Cavaliers have any chance of beating the Celtics, they are going to need Strus to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. Based on what we have seen during the postseason, that might be wishful thinking. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 am
       
    • Fails to score in 11 minutes
      Merrill notched zero points (0-1 FG) across 11 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Merrill missed his only shot attempt, failing to have an impact once again. Although he did have a couple of bright spots throughout the season, Merrill has been a non-factor in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 4:50 am
       
    • Rare appearance in win
      Brissett closed Saturday's 106-93 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in one minute.

      Advice: Brissett played one minute of garbage time as the Celtics held on for a relatively comfortable victory Saturday. Barring another sizeable margin, Brissett is unlikely to leave the bench on most nights, especially as we get deeper into the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 4:33 am
       
    • Dean Wade logs 17 minutes, goes 5/3/3 in return
      Dean Wade accounted for five points, three rebounds, three assists, a block and a three-pointer across 17 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Boston.

      Advice: Wade returned after over two months on the sidelines, and he made an instant impact. The numbers don’t leap off the page, but he provided floor-spacing and meaningful peripheral contributions in his first game back. Marcus Morris Sr. and Tristan Thompson logged just five minutes apiece, and Wade’s return should continue to cut into their playing time. Expect Wade’s playing time to gradually increase as he works his way back into game shape. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Dean Wade (knee) available Saturday vs. Boston
      Dean Wade (right knee sprain) is available for Saturday’s matchup with the Celtics.

      Advice: Wade’s last appearance was on March 8, so it’s unclear how much playing time he’ll get following the extended layoff. At the very least, he’ll add some depth to Cleveland’s forward rotation. The Kansas State product averaged 5.4 points, 4.0 boards and 1.5 triples across 20.5 minutes in the 2023-24 regular season.

    • Good to go Saturday
      Wade (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

      Advice: Wade has been sidelined since March 8, but he made it through warmups without any setbacks and is officially good to go. Jarrett Allen (ribs) remains out, however. It will be interesting to see what type of role Wade plays after being sidelined so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
       
    • Questionable for Sunday
      Jackson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Jackson played through the same questionable tag for Friday's Game 4 blowout win, but he saw just eight minutes with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one turnover. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:08 pm
       
    • Undergoing offseason surgery
      Carter will undergo surgery to stabilize the third metacarpal in his left hand, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday. Carter is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: In simpler terms, Carter will have a procedure to fully fix his left hand -- the same hand he sustained a fractured middle finger on early this season -- and is expected to be ready for the 2024-25 campaign. Carter missed a month and a half after sustaining the injury (which required surgery) in November but was able to return and appear in 55 games (48 starts) overall. He's set for re-evaluation four weeks after the procedure. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:44 pm
