Wade is good to go after missing two games, giving the Cavaliers another option off the bench. However, he has not done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Jerome is back after a five-game absence, and his return gives Cleveland’s bench a welcome boost. His return means Craig Porter Jr.'s playing time will decrease, and he may fall out of the rotation entirely.

Harden recorded his second points/assists double-double in three games on Saturday, with the 14 helpers being the most he’s recorded in a game since March 4. Over the past month, The Beard has provided top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the turnovers have decreased slightly, Harden’s scoring output has increased. He’s averaged 23.9 points per game over the past month, just over one point higher than his season average of 22.5. The Clippers end the regular season with a four-game Week 23, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Zubac may not be a popular name in most mainstream conversations regarding the Most Improved Player award, but he deserves to be mentioned. The Clippers’ center is having a career year, and he was elite on Saturday. Zubac did not miss a shot from the field or the foul line, and the double-double was his 55th of the season. By comparison, he had 50 double-doubles in the prior two seasons combined. From a fantasy standpoint, Zubac has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past month.

Saturday’s game went as well as the Clippers could have hoped regarding Leonard. For the first time this season, he played both games of a back-to-back. Also, Leonard was effective while on the court and only needed to play for 25 minutes. Kawhi has been on fire over the past month, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Clippers’ four-game Week 23 begins with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, and one of those games is against a team headed to the lottery in San Antonio. Although Saturday’s experience was positive, it isn’t guaranteed Leonard will be available for both ends of the Clippers’ final back-to-back of the season.

For the first time this season, Leonard is available for both games of a back-to-back. With the Clippers blowing out the Mavericks on Friday, he only needed to play 24 minutes. For the rematch, Leonard will be limited to 25-30 minutes. Derrick Jones Jr. and Bogdan Bogdanovic miss out on boosts to their respective fantasy values with Leonard in the lineup.

Jerome has missed Cleveland’s last five games and Wade the last two. The former’s availability is more impactful on fantasy basketball, as Jerome has provided 11th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. Multiple rotation players, including De’Andre Hunter, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill, are impacted by Jerome and Wade’s availability.

Unlike previous back-to-backs, the door is open for Leonard to be available for both ends. He only needed to play 24 minutes in Friday’s rout of the Mavericks, which may increase his chances of being available Saturday night. If Leonard does not play, Derrick Jones Jr. is the likely replacement in the lineup, while Ben Simmons would have an enhanced role off the bench.

Simmons was held out of Friday’s win over the Mavericks for injury management reasons, while Miller has not appeared in a game since March 12. Simmons will be in the rotation, especially if Kawhi Leonard (questionable) does not play, while Miller is unlikely to have a role.

Zubac has recorded a double-double in ten straight games, with Friday’s effort pushing his tally to 54 for the season. The Clippers’ center continues to impress, and he has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Even better for the Clippers is Zubac played 27 minutes on Friday, the second time he’s failed to pass that number since the All-Star break. The Clippers are in a hotly contested race in the middle of the Western Conference, so any opportunity to get their starters additional rest will be welcomed.

Powell was solid on Friday, but fantasy managers were doomed when the game got out of hand by halftime. Over the past two weeks, he has only been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats, five rounds lower than his season-long value. The decreased scoring output has been a factor, with Powell averaging 17.0 points per game over the past two weeks. By comparison, he’s averaging 22.2 points for the season. He’ll look to have a more productive night on Saturday when the Clippers host the Mavericks again.

While Leonard has not reached the point where he’ll be allowed to play both games of back-to-backs, the door has not been completely closed on his playing Saturday against the Mavericks. Following Friday’s victory, the Clippers’ star said, “We’ll see” when asked if he’ll be available. For fantasy managers, it would certainly be helpful if Leonard were to play, especially after logging 24 minutes on Friday.

Garland has scored at least 20 points just once in his last five games despite playing at least 30 minutes in all five games. The 25-year-old point guard has struggled with his shooting of late, but still managed to recored at least six assists in each of his last five games. Fantasy managers will take the assists and Garland will look to get his shot going again Sunday against the Kings.

Mobley’s tour de force season continued Friday as he had a huge game against the Spurs. The 23-year-old center had 25 points on just 13 shots including four made three-pointers. Mobley also grabbed 12 boards and dished out five assists. He also showed up on defense with a steal and three blocks. It was quite a game for Mobley, who has been a top-30 fantasy player over the last three weeks.

Mitchell has now scored at least 24 points in each of his last five games. The 28-year-old shooting guard made six three-pointers, which is the most he’s had in a game since January 26, when he had seven three-pointers against the 76ers. Mitchell has been a top-five fantasy player over the last week.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Okeke will fill Cleveland’s open roster spot. Okeke recently spent time on a 10-day deal with the 76ers, where he made six appearances and three starts. He’ll provide the Cavs with some depth, but it is unlikely that he plays a role, especially in the postseason.

The Clippers have a mini-series against Dallas on Friday and Saturday, and Simmons will sit out the first leg. Kawhi Leonard will be available, so Tyronn Lue may be trying to stagger their availability as to not fully punt on either game. Nicolas Batum should take on extra minutes with Simmons sidelined.

Both wings will remain sidelined for another game, and there isn’t a clear timeline for when either will return.

This will be a fifth-straight absence for Jerome, while Wade will miss his second in a row. De’Andre Hunter, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill will once again fill out the majority of the reserve minutes. Hunter is the best fantasy option, though Merrill should provide some three-point value.

While Bogdanovic has been a solid addition to the Clippers’ roster, his production has tailed off over the past two weeks. During this stretch, he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Wednesday was one of Bogdanovic’s good nights, but he’s only reached double figures in four of his last eight appearances. He remains rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but that’s due more to the expectations for Bogdanovic while he was with the Hawks than what he’s done recently.

Surprisingly, Harden’s double-double on Wednesday was his first since March 16. However, despite the decrease in assist production, The Beard has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Harden has shot 45.7 percent from the field during this stretch, more than five percentage points higher than his 40.1 percent shooting over the course of the season. If he can maintain the improved efficiency through the Clippers’ final two games of Week 22, Harden may be able to carry some fantasy managers to a championship.

This has been a career year for Zubac, who deserves to be included in Most Improved Player conversations. The Clippers center recorded his 53rd double-double of the season on Wednesday, and the six assists were the most in a game for him since March 16. Over the past two weeks, Zubac has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Clippers play two games against the Mavericks to end Week 22, and those matchups may be more challenging since Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II have rejoined the Dallas rotation.

Leonard has scored 20 points or more in 10 straight games and has the look of a player primed to put on a show during the postseason. The Clippers forward has rewarded those who patiently awaited his return from offseason knee surgery, and The Klaw could prove to be a league winner. Over the past two weeks, Leonard has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The lone negative for fantasy managers is the Clippers’ schedule, as they end Week 22 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Mavericks, which means Leonard will likely sit out one of those games.

While Garland’s final stat line would not be described as elite, it was a performance he and those who have him rostered needed. In his three prior appearances, the Cavaliers guard shot 34.8 percent from the field and averaged 16.7 points per game. Garland was considerably more efficient against the Knicks, and fantasy managers will also take the six assists. He’ll look to build on this performance when the Cavaliers visit the lottery-bound Spurs on Friday.

Allen may not have been dominant in Wednesday’s victory, but his performance could be considered excellent. The Cavaliers center has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four outings, shooting an incredible 85.4 percent from the field. Over the past week, Allen has been ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat per-game value. Sidekick Evan Mobley was solid on Wednesday, finishing with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. Allen’s production carried the night, moving the Cavaliers one game closer to locking down home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After a slow first half, Mitchell kicked into high gear in the second, as Cleveland stormed back and won comfortably. He’s scored at least 24 points in four straight games, which is one reason why he’s provided top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Cavaliers end Week 22 with games against the Spurs and Kings, which are good matchups for Mitchell. However, with Cleveland closing in on the one-seed in the East, fantasy managers will hope he isn’t given a night off in advance for the playoffs.

The 25-year-old point guard wasn’t credited with any steals in his last four games entering play Monday, in fact the seven steals were as many as Harden had in his last eight games before Monday. It’s a nice bonus for fantasy managers to an otherwise pedestrian stat line. Harden will drag down your field-goal shooting percentage in fantasy leagues, but the assists and charity stripe help often make up for it. The steals are just an added bonus.

Zubac closed out the month with his second game in March with at least 20 rebounds. He even played 38 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back to get there.

Leonard returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers. The 33-year-old small forward wasn’t efficient on offense and missed all six of his three-point attempts.

With the day off Tuesday, he could be back in the lineup again Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Mobley returned from a one-game absence and turned in a 9/6/4 line on 3-of-10 shooting against the Pistons. He bounced back in a big way on Sunday, hitting 8-of-16 shots, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, and delivering some quality peripheral contributions. He and the Cavs get a brief respite before returning to the court for Wednesday’s primetime showdown with the Knicks.

Harden shot just 7-of-18 from the floor and 4-of-12 from beyond the arc while committing five turnovers. His minus-17 in the box score was the lowest mark among all players in the game.

Since returning from an extended layoff, Powell had averaged just 11.8 points and 1.7 triples across his last six games. He bounced back in a big way on Sunday, shooting 13-of-24 from the floor and 5-of-11 from deep to lead all scorers and post his highest point total since February 13. Powell took on some additional offensive responsibilities with Kawhi Leonard sidelined, and this was a nice way for him to get back on track. He’ll look to build on this performance when the Clippers face the Magic on Monday.

Mitchell finished behind only Jarrett Allen (25) for team lead in scoring, and he tied Allen in rebounds and Darius Garland in assists. Spida has been tremendous across his last three. He delivered a double-double with 14 assists against the Spurs, dropped 38 against the Pistons and compiled a double-double with rebounds as Cleveland became the first team in the Eastern Conference with 60 wins. He’ll look to keep up his stellar play when the Cavs face the Knicks in a heavyweight bout on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should note that Cleveland plays only three games next week.

Powell didn’t score much on Friday and has not recorded a 20-point stat line since returning from his hamstring injury. However, he did dish out six assists against the Nets, the most in a game since November 6. Over the past two weeks, Powell is ranked outside the top 200 in nine-cat formats. Fantasy managers hope he can flip the switch sooner rather than later, possibly as soon as Sunday in Cleveland.

Harden has dished out six assists in two straight games, the fewest he’s had over a two-game stretch since late February. However, the nature of Friday’s game had much to do with the low tally against the Nets, as the Clippers took a 36-point lead into the fourth quarter. Harden did not play during the final frame, getting a head start on his postgame recovery ahead of Sunday’s game in Cleveland. Given the opposition, fantasy managers should expect Harden to log starters’ minutes after only playing 25 in Brooklyn.

Zubac did not miss a shot from the field on Friday, the first time this season that he has accomplished that feat. As good as the Clippers center has been, he’s recently taken things to another level, providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Even better for the Clippers is that Zubac only needed to play 25 minutes in Friday’s 32-point victory. On Sunday, he’ll face a significant test when the Clippers visit the Cavaliers.

Hunter didn’t move into the starting unit in place of Evan Mobley, who got a rest night on Thursday, but he did end up providing value off the bench. After playing 22-23 minutes over Cleveland’s three previous games, Hunter played 31 minutes against San Antonio, which allowed him to have one of his best rebounding performances as a Cavalier and set a new high for steals since being traded to Cleveland. The bar wasn’t high, but it was a nice bonus for a player that typically doesn’t contribute many defensive stats despite being known as a strong defender.

Cleveland has been rotating members of its “core four” to get rest nights, which has opened the door for Strus to take on a larger role offensively. He was quiet over their last three games, but he was able to provide a scoring punch on Thursday. Coming off the best season of his career, Strus has quietly been better in a smaller role. His minutes, points and assists are all down, but his three-pointers are about the same, and his shooting percentages have improved. They’re too deep for Strus to need to play 32 minutes per game again, but it should give them confidence in him heading into the postseason.
