Jerome will miss another game with a knee injury, opening up additional minutes for Craig Porter Jr. Porter is not a player who has to be streamed in most leagues, especially when Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are available.
Jerome is likely to sit out another game, which means Craig Porter Jr. could see an uptick in playing time. CPJ isn't a recommended streaming option, though.
Tyson is not usually in the Cavaliers' rotation when he is healthy, so his continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball. However, Jerome's absence will have a noticeable impact on Cleveland's bench. Craig Porter Jr. will play rotation minutes, but there isn't much to gain from rostering him in most leagues. Look for De'Andre Hunter's offense to be of greater importance with Jerome unavailable.
Jerome will miss a second-straight game with this knee issue, which means there will be extra minutes off the bench for De'Andre Hunter and Sam Merrill. Max Strus (ankle) is also out, so one of Hunter or Merrill will likely get the start. Craig Porter Jr. will also have a chance to take on extra minutes.
Jerome will be back after getting a rest night against Brooklyn. He'll occupy his typical bench role, which will take away minutes from Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. after they took on larger roles on Tuesday.
