Sam Merrill Sidelined For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (rest) will be out of action for Friday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Merrill gets the evening off to rest after posting 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in a losing effort to the Indiana Pacers 114-112 on Thursday. With Merrill sidelined, 24-year-old forward Isaac Okoro will likely see an uptick in minutes on the floor and extra scoring opportunities during tonight's contest.

Sam Merrill Available Versus Hawks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (illness) is active against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Merrill faced the possibility of missing a second straight game. With Caris LeVert (wrist) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) out, Merrill will be a valuable option off the bench. However, his performances generally aren't good enough to help fantasy managers. Cleveland also has Darius Garland (rest) back in action on Thursday, which likely pushes Jaylon Tyson out of the rotation.

Sam Merrill Uncertain For Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks after missing Wednesday's win in Miami. With Caris LeVert (wrist) sidelined, Merrill has been getting more work off the bench, but he has only scored double-digit points once in his last 10 games while averaging 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 15.9 minutes per game. If he's out again on Thursday, there will be more work available for Georges Niang and Max Strus on the wing for the Cavaliers.

Sam Merrill Uncertain Against The Raptors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (ankle) could be in line for a larger workload with Donovan Mitchell (rest) out against the Raptors on Thursday, but the 28-year-old from Utah State will have to overcome his own questionable tag. Merrill has missed the last three games for Cleveland but could be able to return for the second half of his team's home back-to-back Thursday night. Merrill had 20 points in a spot start against the Jazz just before Christmas, so he does have potential upside. However, on the season, he has only averaged 7.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers while playing 19.2 minutes per game.

Sam Merrill Ruled Out For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Dallas. He hurt his right ankle against the Lakers on Tuesday, and Merrill was unlikely to be available for Friday's contest when the team listed him as doubtful on the initial injury report. His absence shouldn't be a big loss for the Cavaliers, as Merrill has averaged only 7.0 points in 19.2 minutes this season. Max Strus and Caris LeVert will likely share the available minutes on Friday. Strus appears to be getting closer to working at full capacity. He logged a season-high 26 minutes on Tuesday against the Lakers, notching 15 points with three rebounds, four assists, and two blocks.

Sam Merrill Active Versus Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (quadriceps) will play on Monday against Utah. A quadriceps injury limited Merrill to only eight minutes of action last time out against Philadelphia, but he's been cleared for action after carrying a questionable tag entering Monday. Merrill will make his second start of the campaign, filling in for Dean Wade (knee). He's been logging 20 minutes regularly thus far but might have to settle for a lesser role once Max Strus finds his feet.

Sam Merrill Returns As Starter

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Sam Merrill (ankle) will be back in the lineup as a starter on Tuesday against Boston. He's been sidelined for three games with ankle inflammation. Merrill makes his return at a good time because the Cavaliers have lost some rotational pieces for Tuesday's game. This should guarantee him plenty of playing time. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.8 points in 19.7 minutes this season but might get past the 25-minute mark on Tuesday, with Caris LeVert (knee) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) missing.

Sam Merrill Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Sam Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics due to a left ankle injury. He has been sidelined for the last three games because of inflammation in his left ankle, but he could return against the defending champs. In the meantime, Craig Porter has stepped up in Merrill's absence over the last three games. Merrill will likely not be a significant contributor in fantasy if he is available to suit up.

Sam Merrill Trending In Right Direction Ahead Of Game 1

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Sam Merrill (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice as he continues to work his way back from injury. A neck problem kept him out for the final three regular-season games, but Merrill looks to be on track to return to the lineup for Game 1 of the playoffs against Orlando on Saturday. The 27-year-old averaged a career-high 8.0 points in 17.5 minutes during the regular season, shooting 40.4 percent from downtown. Merrill's shooting ability makes him a good option to have on the bench, but the rotations get tighter during the postseason, and he likely won't see a lot of time on the court.

Sam Merrill Active On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (illness) is active for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is good news after Merrill has missed nearly a week of action due to an illness. Luckily, it sounds like that illness is behind him and Merrill has been cleared to suit up for this game. His return won't make a huge impact on the rotation. Merrill has only been averaging seven minutes per game, so fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire.
