Cleveland Cavaliers

Tyrese Proctor

G

It's unclear when Proctor picked up the injury, given that he was a healthy DNP for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The rookie second-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time off the Cavaliers' bench this season, but his absence would result in more minutes being available for Keon Ellis and Craig Porter.

Jaylon Tyson

G

The neck injury is a new concern for Tyson, who is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 19. If the second-year forward is cleared to suit up, he would likely remain in the starting five due to Jarrett Allen (knee) being sidelined. Tyson has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per game in his last four outings (all starts).

Dean Wade

F

Wade was able to practice Friday and is trending towards a return after three games on the shelf. With Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined, the Cavaliers may need Wade to soak up a handful of minutes in the frontcourt.

Jarrett Allen

C

Allen injured his right knee during the Cavaliers' win over the Pistons on Tuesday. The injury will sideline the veteran center for Sunday's contest, but he could return for the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set against the 76ers on Sunday. Thomas Bryant figures to be the top candidate to enter Cleveland's starting lineup in Allen's absence.

Donovan Mitchell

G

After missing the past four games for Cleveland, Mitchell is trending towards a return to action. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see how the Cavaliers handle his minutes.

Max Strus

G

It's an important step forward for Strus, who's set to begin practicing soon as he recovers from offseason foot surgery. That said, the swingman remains without a definitive timeline for his season debut and figures to miss at least another week of play. Until Strus is finally cleared for game action, both Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill should remain worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy formats.
