CLE • Point Guard and Shooting Guard • #71

With James Harden (thumb) sidelined, Schröder made his first start since being traded to Cleveland. The veteran point guard played well, shooting the ball efficiently and dishing out five assists. Schröder’s 26 points were one shy of his season-high, and this was his first game with more than 12 points as a Cavalier. His streaming value moving forward depends on Harden and Donovan Mitchell’s health, with the latter sitting out Wednesday’s game with a strained groin.

The Cavaliers don’t have James Harden, Donovan Mitchell or Evan Mobley for Wednesday’s game, opening up three spots in the starting lineup. Schröder, Merrill and Tyson move into the starting lineup, and all three will have added streaming value in their new roles.

Schröder hasn’t provided much fantasy production this season, especially since he was traded to Cleveland, but he was able to contribute a solid boost off the bench in this game. While he is still capable of being productive in fantasy hoops, the opportunity isn’t there for him with both Donovan Mitchell and James Harden healthy. Schroder is still rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but he should be left on the waiver wire despite a decent performance in this game.

Even though the Cavaliers didn’t have James Harden for Wednesday’s game, Schröder’s role in his debut for the team was not far removed from what he’ll be asked to do once the team is whole. He played 19 minutes, a number that may decrease once Harden is worked into the rotation, and offered decent value. Schröder can provide a spark off the bench as he did for the Pistons last season, but that won’t do much for fantasy managers.

One night removed from one of his worst performances of the season, Schröder is on the move. After beginning the season as Sacramento’s starting point guard, the veteran lost his job to Russell Westbrook, with his fantasy value diminishing considerably. The move to Cleveland puts Schröder in a more challenging spot, as Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. are already on the roster. While it’s unknown how long starting point guard Darius Garland will be sidelined with a right toe injury, it will be tough for Schröder to regain fantasy relevance.

Schröder started on Thursday and had arguably his best game of the season with Russell Westbrook (foot) sidelined. He started again in this one, and, to put it mildly, the results were not as good. Schröder set a season high for scoring on Thursday, but follow it up by scoring four points for the second time in his last three games. Basically, Schröder has either been really good or really bad in recent weeks; no middle ground for average production. He should start against the Wizards on Sunday if Westbrook remains out.

Schröder entered the starting lineup with Russell Westbrook (foot) sidelined, and it led to one of his best performances of the season. He set a new season high for scoring and matched his season high for three-pointers, though it wasn’t enough to end their losing streak. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so if Westbrook remains out against the Celtics on Friday, Schröder should start again and have upside as a streaming option.

The Kings starters weren’t getting the job done in this game, and head coach Doug Christie quickly turned to the reserves. That allowed Schröder to have his first 20-point game in over a month. Schröder has been a solid reserve for the Kings this year, but that hasn’t been enough for him to be worth rostering in most fantasy formats. Still, he’s more than capable of producing, as he reminded us in this game.

According to the NBA, Schröder confronted and attempted to strike another player 40 minutes after the Kings’ 125-101 loss to the Lakers in a Crypto.com Arena hallway. ESPN has reported that the player was Lakers guard Luka Dončić. His suspension will begin with Sunday’s game against the Rockets, and Schröder will be eligible to return on January 16 against the Wizards.

Schröder shot well both inside and outside the arc to finish as one of Sacramento’s top scorers on the evening. And in addition to his scoring, he tallied a team-high in assists in his 28 minutes of game action. Schröder has now scored in double figures in seven straight games and continues to produce regardless of whether he’s starting games or not. He’ll have a chance to find more production against the Suns on Friday.

Since returning from an ankle injury, Schröder has scored at least 17 points in three of his four appearances. He’s still coming off the bench, but Kings head coach Doug Christie has not hesitated to play Schröder and Russell Westbrook together. While he still hasn’t reached the point where he should be rostered in standard leagues, Schröder remains a player worth holding onto in deeper formats.

Schröder continues to come off the bench, but he’s scored at least 17 points in two of the three games he’s played since returning from a hip injury. Since being moved to the bench on November 14, he’s recorded four 20-point games in eight appearances. While the demotion has lowered Schröder’s fantasy ceiling considerably, he’s still worth holding onto in some deep leagues. The Kings play three games in Week 10, starting with the Pistons on Tuesday.

Schröder is good to go after initially being questionable for Thursday’s game. He’ll slot in as Russell Westbrook’s backup, with there likely being times when they’re on the court together. However, fantasy managers in most leagues can afford to leave Schröder on the waiver wire.

After making his return from a hip injury on Sunday, Schröder is back on the Kings’ injury report. He played 25 minutes off the bench against the Timberwolves and would be in line for a similar workload if available to play against Portland. However, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Schröder as long as Russell Westbrook is starting at the point.

Schröder returned to Sacramento’s lineup following a seven-game absence due to a hip injury. The 32-year-old veteran point guard is an afterthought in most fantasy leagues given his sporadic usage with the Kings, but he’s capable of heating up for the occasional 20-point effort. He figures to be on the move once the trade deadline rolls around, especially if Sacramento falls out of playoff contention.

Initially listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game, Schröder was upgraded to questionable early Sunday afternoon. He’s now officially good to go, rejoining the Kings after a seven-game absence. His return means that fellow reserve Malik Monk will spend less time on the ball, and Keon Ellis may lose a few minutes.

Schroder was listed as doubtful on Saturday evening, but he’s now got a chance to take the court against the Timberwolves. If he’s available, Schroder could step back into the starting five, shifting Russell Westbrook back to the bench. Malik Monk and Keon Ellis (available) could also see a reduction in playing time.

Schröder has missed Sacramento’s last seven games with a strained right hip flexor and is likely to miss an eighth on Sunday. Russell Westbrook, who took over the starting point guard job when Schröder was healthy, will continue to play most of the minutes at that position, with Malik Monk assuming additional playmaking responsibilities off the bench.

Schröder was initially doubtful for Thursday’s game, so the downgrade in status is unsurprising. While his absence does not affect starter Russell Westbrook, there should be more on-ball opportunities for Malik Monk off the bench. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues, as the Kings will also be without Zach LaVine.

Schröder has missed the last six games with a strained right hip flexor. It’s unlikely that he returns Thursday against the Nuggets given his doubtful listing. Schröder’s eventual return will cut into Russell Westbrook’s minutes significantly.

Monday’s game will be the sixth that Schröder has missed with a strained right hip flexor. Russell Westbrook had already claimed the starting point guard job before Sacramento lost Schröder, so his continued absence affects the bench more. Nique Clifford has seen his playing time increase recently, while Keon Ellis’ role has been inconsistent. Neither is a must-stream in this spot.

Schröder has missed Sacramento’s last five games, most recently playing on November 24. With Russell Westbrook seemingly locked into the starting point guard role, as he replaced Schröder before the injury, rookie Nique Clifford stands to be the player most likely to lose out on minutes if the veteran guard plays.

Schröder will miss a third straight game with a hip injury. Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk will continue to shoulder the playmaking duties, with the former having moved into the starting lineup when Schröder was healthy.

Schröder has missed Sacramento’s last two games but could return to take on Houston. If he does, Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk will likely lose out on a few minutes, but not enough to decimate the value of either player.

Schröder will miss a second straight game, which didn’t open the door for anyone to take on extra minutes. Malik Monk played most of the reserve guard minutes, but Kings coach Doug Christie just turned to his starters more. Keon Ellis could see a bump in minutes, but he only played seven minutes with Schröder out on Friday.

Schröder’s fantasy ceiling has lowered considerably since being replaced in the starting lineup by Russell Westbrook. His absence should free up additional minutes for Keon Ellis, but that is not guaranteed. Fantasy managers should not take the risk of streaming Ellis in this spot.

Schröder has seen his fantasy value decrease since being replaced in the Kings’ starting lineup by Russell Westbrook. If he’s unable to play on Wednesday, there should be additional minutes available to Keon Ellis. However, that is not guaranteed, so there’s no need to commit to Ellis in most leagues.

Having begun the season as Sacramento’s starting point guard, Schröder lost his job on November 14, and the demotion has negatively impacted his fantasy value. However, the veteran guard is capable of having the occasional big night despite coming off the bench. Saturday was an example of that, with Schröder only needing 15 minutes to record one of his best lines of the season. The potential, which was realized on Saturday, is why Schröder is still rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
