Schroder (illness) has been ruled out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks on Monday, independent journalist Tom Withers reports.
Schroder was added to the injury report hours before tipoff due to an illness, and he's since been listed as out. He's averaged 15.0 minutes through the first three games of the series, so Craig Porter and Keon Ellis could be asked to fill that void Monday in Schroder's absence.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Schroder (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks.
Schroder is under the weather and may sit out Monday's do-or-die matchup. If the veteran point guard is unable to suit up, Sam Merrill, Max Strus and Keon Ellis would all be candidates to pick up a few extra minutes.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Does little off bench in Game 6
Rotowire
Schroder recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes during Friday's 115-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Friday marked the first time that Schroder failed to score in this year's playoffs, and he has reached double-digit scoring just twice across 13 postseason games. He's averaging 6.3 points per game while shooting 39.7 percent from the field this postseason, and the Cavaliers will need more out of the veteran point guard in Game 7 on Sunday.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Shooting woes in victory
Rotowire
Schroder closed with two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes during Sunday's 114-102 victory over the Raptors in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Schroder played no more than 16 minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to serve as little more than a space filler when either James Harden or Donovan Mitchell are off the court. Outside of a 19-point performance in Game 5, Schroder offered very little in terms of tangible production in the opening round. Across his seven first-round appearances, he averaged 7.7 points and 1.4 assists.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Barely sees floor
Rotowire
Schroder recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across five minutes during Thursday's 126-104 loss to the Raptors in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Schroder was used sparingly, logging just five minutes Thursday. Although he has been a part of the rotation on most nights since arriving in Cleveland, it's fair to say that Schroder's impact has been limited. Barring a reversal of fortunes, don't expect to see too much of Schroder outside of lopsided results.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Schroder (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Raptors.
Schroder will return to action for the start of the playoffs after sitting out Cleveland's regular-season finale. The veteran point guard averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per contest across five regular-season outings (one start) in April.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
The 32-year-old guard will skip Cleveland's regular-season finale, but he'll be back for the playoffs. James Harden (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also sit out Sunday's game, so Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter will likely see significant minutes.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Back to bench role
Rotowire
Schroder is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Schroder produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies, but he'll return to the bench role now that both Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) are available. Schroder is averaging 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last five outings off the bench, so his fantasy appeal drops considerably if he doesn't start.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Double-double in Monday's start
Rotowire
Schroder produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Back in the starting five for the first time since Feb. 27 while James Harden (personal) is away from the team, Schroder delivered his third double-double of the season, and his first since Dec. 21. The veteran guard hasn't had much of a role of late with the second unit. Schroder had scored in double digits only once in his prior 15 games while averaging fewer than 20 minutes a contest. As long as Harden and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) are unavailable, however, Schroder should have fantasy utility thanks to elevated usage.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Starting versus Grizzlies
Rotowire
Schroder will start Monday's game against Memphis.
With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) ruled out, Schroder will start in Monday's meeting with Memphis. The 32-year-old has started 16 times between stints with the Kings and Cavaliers this season, averaging 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.1 steals across 30.6 minutes in those appearances.

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' Dennis Schroder: Limited to reserve role
Rotowire
Schroder finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 16 minutes.
With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy in the Cavaliers' backcourt, Schroder's fantasy appeal remains muted. The veteran guard has scored in single figures in nine consecutive games (no starts), during which Schroder has averaged 4.6 points, 3.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Keeps trending down
Rotowire
Schroder closed with three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and five assists over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 win over the Bucks.
With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy for the Cavaliers, Schroder's fantasy value is on a downward trend. Schroder has averaged 4.2 points, 3.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a woeful 38.5 percent from the floor during this period.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Muted effort in win
Rotowire
Schroder ended with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the 76ers.
Schroder scored fewer than five points for the second straight game, playing a modest role for his new team. In 14 games since joining the Cavaliers, Schroder has served as a backup guard, only playing meaningful minutes when others ahead of him are on the sideline. As a player who has been outside the top 200 for the entire season, managers should view him as nothing more than a streaming option, but only when he plays an elevated role.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder won't start against the Nets on Sunday.
With James Harden (thumb) back in action following a two-game absence, Schroder will retreat to the second unit. Over eight appearances off the bench for Cleveland, the veteran guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 20.3 minutes per tilt.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Nears double-double vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Schroder notched 12 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 122-119 overtime loss to Detroit.
Schroder was initially tagged as questionable for Friday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but the veteran point guard was cleared to play and was in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game due to the absences of James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin). Schroder didn't have an efficient night from the field but got his teammates involved with nine assists, falling one dime shy from logging his third double-double of the season (and first since Dec. 21 against the Rockets as a member of the Kings). He would likely start against the Nets on Sunday if one or both of Harden and Mitchell were unable to play.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Available Friday
Rotowire
Schroder (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.
The Cavaliers are without Donovan Mitchell (groin) and James Harden (thumb) on Friday, which should lead to a spot start for Schroder. The veteran point guard has started 15 games in 2025-26 across his time with Cleveland and Sacramento, averaging 12.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.1 minutes per tilt over this span.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Schroder is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons with a right ankle sprain.
The Cavaliers are upgrading Schroder from questionable to probable Friday. The veteran guard should see a rise in playmaking duties in the absence of Donovan Mitchell (groin), as Schroder made his first start since joining Cleveland during Wednesday's loss in Milwaukee.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Schroder is questionable for Friday's game in Detroit due to a sprained right ankle.
Donovan Mitchell (groin) has already been ruled out, and James Harden (thumb) is questionable, so the Cavs could be very thin at the point guard position Friday evening. If both Harden and Schroder are out, Craig Porter would likely get a spot start, and he'd make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Impresses in spot start
Rotowire
Schroder posted 26 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.
Schroder saw his name penciled into the starting five Wednesday night with James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) sidelined, and he didn't disappoint. Schroder gave the Cavs a fighting chance, combining with Jarrett Allen to pour in 53 of his team's 116 points. This is just one point shy of his best outing of the season, when he dropped 27 points Jan. 29 while with the Kings. Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in eight games off the bench since being dealt to Cleveland, so his production figures to take a large hit when Harden and Mitchell are cleared to return, which could arrive as soon as Friday in Detroit.
