Sam Merrill Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic due to personal reasons. Merrill had already missed five consecutive contests due to a right-hand sprain and it is unclear if he has fully recovered from the injury. While the 29-year-old sharpshooter continues to sit out, Jaylon Tyson will continue to benefit fantasy-wise, as Darius Garland (toe) is still sidelined as well. Tyson has started five straight games and is averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers across 34.0 minutes per outing during that timeframe.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando as he works through a right-hand sprain that has already sidelined him for five straight contests. If Merrill remains out, Jaylon Tyson continues to be the clear fantasy beneficiary, especially with Darius Garland (toe) still unavailable. Tyson has started five straight games and is averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.2 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes during that span. Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor are tough to trust, offering only matchup-based fantasy value.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) will miss Friday's game against Sacramento, marking his fourth straight absence as he continues to manage a right-hand sprain. With Merrill and Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Cleveland is again leaning on Jaylon Tyson for secondary scoring and playmaking. Tyson delivered 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 31 minutes last game, giving him short-term value in standard formats. Craig Porter Jr. also continues to see an expanded role, though his seven points, one rebound, and two assists in 18 minutes keep him capped as a low-end option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City, marking his second straight absence with a right-hand sprain, though he remains day-to-day. With Darius Garland (toe) also sidelined, Cleveland's backcourt rotation stays thin, and usage is redistributed. Jaylon Tyson continues to benefit most, coming off a 39-point outing in 38 minutes Friday while handling a larger offensive role. Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. should see added minutes off the bench but remain situational fantasy plays due to volatile production.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Friday's game against the 76ers due to a right-hand sprain, an injury he aggravated on Wednesday. Merrill logged just three points in 10 minutes in the win, and his absence removes a key spacing piece from the rotation. Craig Porter Jr. becomes a viable short-term assists streamer after stepping into a larger bench role, while Jaylon Tyson could also see extra opportunities on the wing. With Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Donovan Mitchell is expected to carry a heavier share of the perimeter workload.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) has received the green light to play on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. He has been out of commission since Nov. 17 due to a right-hand sprain. Merrill is in the midst of a career year, averaging 13.9 points per game on fabulous 44.4 three-point shooting. On Monday, he may have to rely more on his two-point shot to score, as Charlotte gives up the fourth-fewest three-point attempts in the league.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) will sit out his 13th consecutive game on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He hasn't played for a month due to a right hand sprain. The injury has halted a career year for Merrill, who has averaged 13.9 points per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the three-point line. The absence of Merrill and Max Strus (foot) has allowed Jaylon Tyson to blossom. The 23-year-old sophomore has recorded three double-doubles this month, averaging 17.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists for December. Tyson and the Cavaliers have an outstanding fantasy matchup on Wednesday against a team ranked second in pace this season, but with a bottom-ten defensive efficiency.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (hand) will be out of action on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Merrill will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a sprained right hand, and there isn't a timetable for his return. Cleveland's backcourt will be very short-handed this evening, with Lonzo Ball (illness) and Darius Garland (rest) also sidelined. Jaylon Tyson should be considered a solid streaming option, as he will get more scoring opportunities with more time on the floor.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (hand) and guard Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) will miss Monday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Tonight's clash will be the fourth game in a row that Merrill will miss due to a right-hand sprain. A lingering hamstring injury will keep Porter out of action for the second straight contest. With a depleted Cavs backcourt, fantasy managers could turn to Lonzo Ball, who is expected to see plenty of minutes this evening.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (hand) will miss a second consecutive game with a right hand sprain. The 29-year-old drew four starts right before getting hurt and was a solid supporting piece to the team's offense. He's been viable in category leagues as well for fantasy managers that need threes with an average of 3.0 made per game over his last four games. While he's sidelined, there would be some extra minutes for Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) if they were to be upgraded from questionable. Otherwise, Nae'Qwan Tomlin might be a sneaky play in DFS or deeper leagues. He registered 10 points and two rebounds in 19 minutes in their last game. If De'Andre Hunter is available, though, he'd be the more consistent streaming option.
