Saturday's game will be the fifth straight missed by Okoro, who has been recovering from a sprained right AC joint. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Max Strus and Sam Merrill being healthy. The Cavaliers may also have Caris LeVert back for Saturday's game.
Okoro will miss a fourth straight game, which means there will be some extra minutes on the wing. Caris LeVert is questionable, so his status will impact things, but Max Strus and Sam Merrill should still take on a few extra minutes.
This will be a third straight absence for Okoro, which means that Max Strus, Sam Merrill and rookie Jaylon Tyson should be in line for some extra minutes. Tyson logged 15 minutes in their last game, while both Strus and Merrill played 20+.
While Okoro still isn't ready to return from his shoulder injury, Mobley will miss a game for the first time since December 13. Mobley's absence could push Max Strus into the starting lineup, with Dean Wade sliding to the power forward position. If so, Strus's fantasy value will receive a welcome boost. Okoro's absence has freed up additional minutes for Sam Merrill.
Jerome's absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was initially listed as doubtful. Caris LeVert, Max Strus and Sam Merrill should all take on a few extra minutes to make up for his absence.
