Dennis Schröder Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dennis Schroder was the X-factor in Wednesday's 125-120 win over the Toronto Raptors, scoring 19 points and dishing out two assists in 21 minutes off the bench. Schroder played the entire fourth quarter and scored 11 points as Cleveland turned a 103-100 deficit into a Game 5 victory. The German veteran was 7-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-6 from behind the arc. So far, Schroder's role has been quite limited in the first-round series, but he showed on Wednesday that he is ready to step up if called upon. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2023 World Cup MVP had averaged only 4.0 points per game against Toronto.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis will be available for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavalliers haven't included them on the injury report. The two were traded to Cleveland by the Sacramento Kings over the weekend and will make their Cavaliers debuts. Schroder and Ellis will continue as backups in Ohio, though they could have larger roles on Wednesday, depending on James Harden's (personal) status. Even as a reserve, Schroder could offer decent fantasy value, but Ellis shouldn't be on fantasy radars.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Keon Ellis is expected to meet the team in Los Angeles and could be available Wednesday against the Clippers alongside fellow newcomer Dennis Schroder. Both guards arrived from Sacramento in a multi-team deal and step into a crowded backcourt rotation. Schroder brings on-ball creation after averaging 12.8 points and 5.3 assists this season, while Ellis profiles as a defensive wing who averaged 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in limited minutes. If Darius Garland (toe) remains out, Schroder has short-term assist-streamer appeal, while Ellis is a deep-league steals option. Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, and Sam Merrill still anchor the minutes.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired guard Dennis Schroder from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forward De'Andre Hunter, with Keon Ellis also included in the deal. Cleveland has been searching for backcourt stability with Darius Garland (toe) battling injuries, giving Schroder a path to early minutes. The thirty-two-year-old averaged 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 26.4 minutes with Sacramento, though his role fluctuated. Schroder could handle short-term playmaking duties, but a crowded rotation featuring Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, and Sam Merrill caps his ceiling, keeping him more useful as a deep-league assist streamer.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) will come off the bench in Thursday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. LaVine is back in the lineup following a two-game absence, and he was expected to reclaim his starting position from Nique Clifford. Clifford, however, keeps his place with the starters and will open the game alongside Dennis Schroder, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa, and Domantas Sabonis. Schroder is filling in for Russell Westbrook (foot). LaVine last came off the bench in two games during the 2023-24 campaign.

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder has been suspended for three games for confronting and attempting to strike another player, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The German veteran reportedly waited 40 minutes after the Kings' loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 28 before approaching an unnamed player and initiating an altercation. Schroder's suspension will start with Sunday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. His absence from the lineup will open up more playing time for Malik Monk, Nique Clifford, and Devin Carter.

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is back on the injury report, as the team considers him questionable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. On Sunday, Schroder returned from a hip injury, posting 17 points and three assists in a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, he is on the injury report due to a right ankle sprain and may miss more time. Sacramento has just lost Zach LaVine (ankle) for a week, and Schroder's absence would give further playing opportunities to Malik Monk, Nique Clifford, and Keon Ellis.

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) will remain out for a seventh consecutive game on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets. He was always unlikely to play after Sacramento listed Schroder as doubtful on the initial injury report. There's no Zach LaVine (thumb) either on Thursday night, opening up additional playing opportunities for Malik Monk, Keon Ellis, and Nique Clifford. The latter is set to start to contest in LaVine's place. Schroder's next chance to return will be on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) has been tagged as doubtful on the injury report for Thursday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets, indicating that he is expected to remain out for a seventh consecutive contest. The German star is working his way back from a right hip flexor strain. Zach LaVine (thumb) has already been ruled out for Thursday, while Domantas Sabonis (knee) remains unavailable, meaning Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Keegan Murray will do the heavy lifting offensively. Meanwhile, players like Malik Monk and Nique Clifford may see more playing time due to the holes in the Kings' lineup.

James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports that Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder (hip) will miss his sixth consecutive contest on Monday against the Indiana Pacers due to a right hip flexor strain. Schroder carried a questionable tag earlier, but he has since been downgraded to unavailable for this evening's matchup. Malik Monk and Nique Clifford will continue to receive extra minutes coming off the bench with Schroder sidelined. Monk is averaging 13.3 points, 2.4 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 threes per contest while Clifford registers 4.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.
