De'Andre Hunter
CLE • Forward-Guard • #12
De’Andre Hunter accumulated 21 points (6-of-8 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in 28 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Heat in Game 3.
Hunter has bounced back nicely since going scoreless in Cleveland’s series-opening win on April 20. Having scored 12 points in Game 2, he was even better on Saturday, helping the Cavaliers absorb the absence of Darius Garland (toe). Regardless of Garland’s status for Monday’s Game 4, Hunter remains a key contributor off the bench. The Cavaliers aim to end the series in Miami, which would net them additional rest ahead of the second round.

Ty Jerome
CLE • Guard-Forward • #2

Ty Jerome finished with 18 points (5-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in Game 4 against the Heat on Monday.
This was the first postseason series of Jerome’s career, and it couldn’t have gone much better. He’s still never lost a playoff game, and he averaged 16.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.5 triples per game in this series. Jerome will continue to provide them with excellent depth, though if Darius Garland (toe) is back from Game 1 of the second round, Jerome may not be as productive, since he will likely lose out on minutes.
Jarrett Allen
CLE • Center • #31

Jarrett Allen recorded a double-double in Game 4 on Monday with 14 points (5-of-5 FGs), 12 rebounds, two assists and six steals in 25 minutes against the Heat.
After only missing one shot in a Game 3 blowout win, Allen and the Cavs were even better in the series-clinching victory. They went from winning by 37 to winning by 55, and Allen was perfect from the floor and the free throw line. He also tied the franchise record for steals. What made things more impressive was that he did most of that in the first half as he entered the break with 12 points, 11 rebounds and six swipes. If the score wasn’t so lopsided, this could’ve been a truly special performance for him, though his dominance was the reason for the blowout. He’ll look to carry this into the next round.
De'Andre Hunter
CLE • Forward-Guard • #12

De’Andre Hunter provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-11 FGs), one rebound, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Game 5 against the Heat on Monday.
Hunter may have posted a dud in Game 1 of this series, but the last three games were all strong performances for him. That was more than enough to help Cleveland advance to the second round. 18 of his 19 points came before halftime, so Hunter certainly could’ve scored more if the game wasn’t over at that point. He’ll continue to play a significant role off the bench as the Cavaliers’ postseason run continues in the conference semifinals.

Kyle Anderson (illness) has been upgraded to available to play against the Cavaliers on Monday.
Anderson was a late addition to the injury report, but he will suit up for Game 4. Slo Mo played six minutes in Game 1 but didn’t see the floor in Game 2 or Game 3. Don’t expect that to change with Miami looking to keep its season alive.

Jayson Tatum recorded 37 points (10-of-25 FGs, 14-of-14 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 4 win over Orlando.
Tatum put together another strong outing vs. the Magic in his second game back in the lineup following a wrist injury that sidelined him for Game 2. Tatum’s point total in Sunday’s victory was his highest of the series and the second consecutive game in which he tallied at least 36 points. Additionally, Tatum grabbed double-digit rebounds for the second time in the opening round, giving him his second double-double of the 2025 postseason. He’ll have a chance for a third-straight 30-point game in Tuesday’s Game 5.
