Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Leads bench in win Monday
Merrill posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Bucks.
Merrill led the bench in points while scoring in double figures for the second straight matchup. The sharpshooter struggled from beyond the arc Monday, though he has still shot 39.0 percent from deep this season. Merrill remains a dangerous option from three-point range for the Cavaliers, though his fantasy value is capped due to the talent around him and his role as a catch-and-shoot specialist.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Drills five threes off bench
Merrill posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks.
Merrill is an accurate three-point specialist and made his presence known off the bench. His fantasy production is almost entirely dependent on his success beyond the arc, which limits his viability. He's a borderline candidate in category leagues if you need help in that category.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Sinks trio of triples
Merrill notched 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 win over the Wizards.
Merrill started the season 1-for-7 from deep through two games but made a trio of three-pointers Saturday. The sharpshooter has a consistent backup role in Cleveland, but his fantasy upside is directly correlated to how well he's shooting from deep.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Should be ready for opener
Merrill (wrist) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Bulls but is expected to be available for the regular-season opener against the Raptors next Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill is in a similar situation to Max Strus (hip), as both players have missed the last two preseason games. However, based on recent reports, both are expected to be available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 23. Merrill has participated in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, so he's trending closer to being fully available. Even when that happens, Merrill shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside since he'll be nothing more than a depth option on the Cavaliers' bench.

Merrill (neck) was held scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with two rebounds and one assist in four minutes Saturday in the Cavaliers' 97-83 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Merrill had missed the Cavaliers' final three games of the regular season with a neck strain, but he was back in action for the playoff opener. The fourth-year wing was barely able to hold down a spot in head coach J.B.
