Jarrett Allen

The Cavaliers are without Evan Mobley, who is out due to a sore right calf. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by LeVert, whose fantasy value may not receive a significant boost. Playing alongside Garland and Mitchell means LeVert has even less time on the ball, limiting his upside.

Despite previous reports that Strus would return to the starting lineup for the first time this season, recent updates indicate that won't be the case quite yet. Strus has seen his minutes increase, and he has been playing well, so a move into the starting unit likely isn't far off. It just won't be Sunday.

For the first time this season, Cleveland will roll with the starting lineup it used for most of the 2023-24 campaign. Strus is making his first start of the season, with Dean Wade heading to the bench. Given how well Cleveland's "core four" has played offensively, Strus' 3-point production will likely increase now that he's a starter again.

Allen dominated this game early on and was even able to record a double-double before halftime. There aren't many players that are as efficient as Allen, but he has taken things to a new level recently. He has recorded a double-double while making at least 80% of his field goal attempts in three straight games and in four of their last five. That has contributed to Allen producing top ten value in 9-cat leagues over the past two weeks. He'll look to keep it going on Sunday with the Pacers coming to town to close out the week.

Donovan Mitchell is getting a rest day on the second night of a back-to-back after they beat the Thunder on Wednesday night. LeVert will get his first start of the season in this game in place of Mitchell, with Max Strus and Sam Merrill likely seeing extra minutes off the bench.
