Allen basically played a perfect game given that he was only out there for 21 minutes of the lopsided win, still recorded a double-double and didn't miss a single shot from the field or at the foul line. It was his 11th double-double in 16 games this year. Allen has been one of the most consistent players in fantasy, providing top 40 value. Cleveland will have a few days off before taking on the Raptors on Sunday.
With Darius Garland and multiple wings sidelined, Jerome and Niang move into the starting lineup for Cleveland's second game in as many nights. Both are worth streaming in the spot, with Jerome being the preferred target. Nothing has changed for Mitchell, Mobley, or Allen.
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.
Merrill moves into the starting lineup with Isaac Okoro (ankle) out on Tuesday. With Caris LeVert (knee) also set to miss the game against the Celtics, Merrill figures to play a lot tonight. He's firmly on the streaming radar tonight and should some 3-point production for fantasy managers in deeper formats.
Allen has ten double-doubles in 15 games this season, and consistency is one reason he's providing top-40 fantasy value. First-year head coach Kenny Atkinson's vow to further emphasize Evan Mobley has not hurt Allen's value, as he continues to do his work in the paint and on the boards. There's no reason to doubt his ability to keep this going for the long haul.
