Ty Jerome

Jerome stepped into the starting lineup with Darius Garland out and made the most of his opportunity Wednesday with a career-high 29 points. He had an incredible first half that included 27 points and 7-of-10 made 3-point attempts. Jerome only played 23 minutes in the blowout, which explains why he didn't do much in the second half. Jerome is clearly a good streamer, but ultimately will play behind Garland and Caris LeVert when those two are healthy.

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.

Garland and LeVert will join Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade on the Cavaliers' injury report for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Cleveland is a heavy favorite, and the team is likely giving Garland and Co. some extra time off. Garland's injury shouldn't be considered serious. Craig Porter Jr. and Ty Jerome are expected to see increased run in Garland's absence.

Mitchell got a rest night in their win over Charlotte, which means that he'll have three days of rest entering their matchup with the defending champs. They'll put their perfect record on the line in a tough road matchup, but Mitchell's fresh legs should help their odds of extending their win streak. Ty Jerome will return to playing a reserve role.
