Cavaliers' Max Strus: Good to go Friday
Strus (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Strus will return to action Friday after sitting out the first leg of Cleveland's back-to-back due to a knee issue. Strus should re-enter the Cavaliers' starting lineup against Indiana, especially since Donovan Mitchell (ankle) remains out.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Ruled out for Friday
Jerome will miss Friday's game against the Knicks for left knee injury management.
Jerome started Thursday's game against the Pacers for the shorthanded Cavaliers, posting 24 points, six assists, two rebounds and one block in 26 minutes. He'll be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance, however, as the Cavaliers are looking to keep their regulars fresh for the playoffs.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Will rest Friday
Merrill (rest) will not play Friday against the Knicks.
Merrill will receive a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Cavaliers could turn to Isaac Okoro to soak up some minutes on the wings in Merrill's absence.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Sitting out Friday
Hunter is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to rest purposes
Hunter will sit out the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back Friday due to rest purposes. Dean Wade, Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in Hunter's absence. Hunter's next chance to suit up is Sunday's regular-season finale against Indiana.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Likely to suit up Friday
Garland (toe) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
After resting Thursday against Indiana, Garland will likely return to action Friday. Over his last 10 appearances, Garland has averaged 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.9 minutes per game. However, he may not play the entire game Friday, as the Cavaliers have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Scores 13 points off bench
Okoro racked up 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to Indiana.
Okoro posted a decent stat line, but he needs to shoot the three better in order to have more minutes off the bench. He's not expected to play a significant role in the rotation in the playoffs, so his upside will remain fairly low in most formats going forward.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Not listed on injury report
Mobley isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Knicks.
After resting Thursday against the Pacers, Mobley will return to action for the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back set. Over his past five games, Mobley has averaged 19.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.4 steals in 33.2 minutes, but he may not see his full workload Friday, as the Cavaliers already have the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference locked up.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Scores 16 points off bench
Porter contributed 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Porter made the most of his minutes off the bench and was one of the five Cleveland players who scored in double digits in this game. The fact that Porter didn't start in a game where the Cavaliers rested most of their starters suggests he'll remain rooted to a bench role in the playoffs.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Limited to eight points
Wade recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Wade didn't have his best performance Thursday, but from a category-based perspective, he at least recorded two tallies in four of the five major categories. Wade isn't expected to be a regular in the lineup when the Cavaliers are at full strength, so his upside will remain fairly low in most formats going forward.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Won't play Friday
Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Mitchell will miss a third straight game due to an ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 120-113 win over the Kings. He was able to return to that game following a brief exit, but the severity remains unclear. With the Cavaliers locked into the top seed in the Eastern Conference, they can afford to be cautious with their superstar guard.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Sees 20 minutes
Thompson closed with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and 12 rebounds in 20 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Evan Mobley was rested Thursday, allowing Thompson to absorb some backup center minutes. He's always been an elite rebounder and is worth a look for any fantasy manager targeting boards if the Cavaliers opt to rest their key players during the final two games of the season.

Cavaliers' Javonte Green: Sees 23 minutes in loss
Green closed with three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
This was Green's largest workload since Feb. 13, as the Cavaliers were without several key players Thursday. With the No. 1 seed locked up, the Cavaliers could be considering more maintenance for their rotation with two games remaining in the regular season.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Grabs 10 boards in 16 minutes
Allen recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes in Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Allen was the only usual member of the starting five to suit up for Cleveland, as the Cavaliers are giving him the chance to play in all 82 games during the regular season. The big man didn't return during the second half, though he should be back in action for the second leg of the club's back-to-back set against the Knicks on Friday. However, with Cleveland having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, Allen could be subject to light workloads Friday and in the regular-season finale Sunday versus the Pacers.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Doesn't start second half Thursday
Allen (rest) didn't start the second half of Thursday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Allen's goal is to play all 82 regular-season games this year, and he was the only usual starter for the Cavaliers to suit up Thursday. If the big man doesn't check back in, he'll finish with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Thursday that Allen would operate under a limited capacity, per Fedor, which could continue moving forward, as the club has two games remaining after Thursday.

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Returning to bench role
Okoro will come off the bench during Thursday's game against the Pacers.
After getting the start during Tuesday's win against the Bulls, Okoro will be in the second until Thursday. In 31 games as a reserve for Cleveland, Okoro has averaged 5.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Will start against Indiana
Wade will be a starter for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
With the Cavaliers resting their star players Thursday, the team will turn to Wade in the first unit. The veteran forward has been in the starting lineup 28 times this season, averaging 7.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from deep.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Set to start vs. Indiana
Hunter will be in the starting lineup Thursday against the Pacers.
Hunter will make his ninth start of the season Thursday. The Virginia product has averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from beyond the arc as a starter.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Will start vs. Indiana
Merrill will be in the starting lineup for the Cavaliers on Thursday against the Pacers.
Merrill will be in the first unit for the fourth time this season. The Utah State product is averaging 13.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 59.1 percent from the field and 60 percent from beyond the arc as a starter.
