Ellis won't start Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Merrill (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
Merrill's absence will be maintenance-related Tuesday, giving him a good chance of returning Thursday against the Warriors. Keon Ellis should step into the starting lineup versus the Lakers and see a sizable boost in playing time.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Allen (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
Allen is set to return after getting the night off Monday against the Jazz. In Allen's most recent performance Friday against Miami, he looked sharp with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Rebounds with 34 points
Rotowire
Mitchell closed with 34 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 122-113 victory over Utah.
Coming off a six-point game in Friday's win over the Heat, Mitchell bounced back convincingly Tuesday. In March, the superstar guard has averaged 25.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.2 minutes per tilt.

Cavaliers' James Harden: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Harden posted 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.
This was just another day at the office for Harden as the Cavaliers improved to 47-28 on the season. Over Harden's last seven outings, he's been elite with averages of 22.4 points, 9.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Receives 15 minutes in return
Rotowire
Porter (groin) tallied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one block across 15 minutes Monday in the Cavaliers' 122-113 win over the Jazz.
Back in action following a seven-game absence due to a left groin strain, Porter managed to reclaim a modest role on the second unit. The third-year guard will likely be in danger of falling out of the rotation once the Cavaliers are back to full strength, however. Cleveland should get Jarrett Allen (knee) and Max Strus (foot) back for the second leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Lakers, while the returns of Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) are further down the road.
Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Limited role continues
Rotowire
Schroder notched three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.
Schroder, while still providing Cleveland with a solid backup, continues to offer very little during his limited time on the floor. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 5.9 points and 3.8 assists in 20.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top-300 players in standard leagues.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Struggles from perimeter
Rotowire
Merrill chipped in nine points (4-14 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.
Merrill failed to land a single three-pointer for the first time in his past eight games, resulting in a sub-par fantasy line. As a player whose overall value is built on his ability to drain the long ball, nights like this highlight that he should be considered for streaming purposes only.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Depth role continues
Rotowire
Bryant finished Monday's 122-113 victory over Utah with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 18 minutes.
Bryant continues to serve as a backup option, despite the fact that Jarrett Allen was out due to injury management. Although Bryant appears to have cemented a spot in the rotation, it is unlikely to yield enough production to warrant significant fantasy attention.
Cleveland is down Jarrett Allen (knee), Max Strus (foot), Dean Wade (ankle) and Jaylon Tyson (toe), so Ellis will return to the starting lineup. The 26-year-old last started in Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Heat, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes of work.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Getting green light Monday
Rotowire
Porter (groin) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Porter will return to action following a seven-game absence due to a groin injury. He appeared in five games this month before going down with the injury, averaging 3.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.8 minutes per appearance during that stretch.
Porter (groin) is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Porter has missed the last seven games due to a groin injury, but he will likely return to action Monday. In his last three appearances, he averaged just 1.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 11.3 minutes per contest, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy relevance in most formats.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Strus (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Strus will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left foot injury management, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers. With Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) also sidelined, Keon Ellis, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are all likely to see increased playing time.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Allen has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah due to right knee injury management.
Allen will get hit with a maintenance day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back for Tuesday's game in Los Angeles. Nae'Qwan Tomlin could see an uptick in minutes Monday with Allen unavailable.
