NBC SportsUpdating a prior post, Jaylon Tyson will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, not Georges Niang.

Instead of Niang, the Cavaliers will start their first-round pick on Wednesday. Tyson hasn't provided much value thus far but hasn't had many opportunities on this experienced roster. Niang remains the superior streaming option despite coming off the bench. Tyson joins Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen in the starting five.

NBC SportsIsaac Okoro (left ankle strain) is out for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Okoro will sit after injuring his ankle during Sunday's win over Charlotte. With Caris LeVert and Dean Wade also sidelined, the Cavaliers will be short multiple bodies on the perimeter. Those absences may push rookie Jaylon Tyson into the back end of the rotation, but he's unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball.

NBC SportsCaris LeVert (right knee soreness) and Jaylon Tyson (left hip sprain) are questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

LeVert's status is more impactful regarding fantasy value, as he's the sixth man when healthy. Sam Merrill and Georges Niang played more minutes off the bench in Monday's win over Milwaukee, with the former providing slightly higher value. As for Tyson, he's unlikely to be in the rotation when healthy.
