CLE • Guard-Forward • #24
1 day ago
Tyson has been productive for most of the season, but the last few games prior to this one had been rough. However, he was able to get back on track in this one by scoring at least 20 points for the fifth straight game. He had scored a total of 21 points across his four previous games, but he has largely been a consistent producer this season. This could kickstart a strong stretch for him, but he remains a risky option since the Cavs are healthier than they’ve been for much of the season.

Initially probable for Thursday’s game, Tyson is officially available. While he’ll come off the bench, the second-year wing will play enough to provide value in deeper fantasy leagues.

Tyson played through an illness on Tuesday and will likely do the same against Chicago. With Dean Wade (knee) out, Tyson should continue to play a significant role off the bench.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, Tyson is officially available. He’ll remain in the starting lineup, and there should be more opportunities for the second-year wing on the offensive end of the floor since Donovan Mitchell (rest) is out.

Tyson is a late addition to the injury report with an illness, which means he’s in danger of sitting out against Indiana. Tyson’s absence should mean more run for Dean Wade(knee), who has been upgraded to probable.

Dean Wade (knee) is not available for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Tyson will fill the void, and he has been productive enough to merit being rostered in standard leagues, whether starting or used in a reserve role.

Tyson continues to be a strong option for Cleveland, and with De’Andre Hunter sidelined with an illness for this game, he was able to lead the Cavs in bench scoring. He was joined by Sam Merrill (16 points) in making a large impact for Cleveland as a reserve. Moving back to the bench has limited Tyson’s opportunity, but he continues to make an impact for fantasy managers, which shouldn’t change moving forward.

Tyson’s performance in Houston may have been the lone bright spot for the Cavaliers, who only made the final score somewhat respectable due to both teams’ reserves playing most of the fourth quarter. The second-year wing recorded his fourth double-double of the season, with the 15 rebounds being a career-high. With Sam Merrill (13/3/3/1 with three three-pointers) back, Tyson appears to be locked into a reserve role. However, his production has made it challenging for fantasy managers to move on from him. The Cavaliers begin a four-game Week 11 in San Antonio on Monday.

Since returning to the bench in favor of Sam Merrill, Tyson’s productivity has actually increased. Following an 18-point effort on Tuesday, he tallied another 16 on Thursday to go along with six rebounds and two three-pointers. Tyson’s fantasy ceiling has decreased somewhat with the move to the bench, but he’s still worth holding onto in deep leagues until Max Strus is healthy enough to play. As for Merrill, he finished Thursday’s defeat with 11 points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers.

After coming off the bench in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Hornets, Tyson was inserted back into the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That was good news for fantasy managers, and the second-year wing responded with a complete stat line and his third 20-point game of the season. De’Andre Hunter (12/5/1 with two three-pointers) doesn’t offer a similar ceiling, whether you’re talking “real” or fantasy basketball. And based on the pregame reports, Tyson should be in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. Providing top-100 value in eight-cat formats, he’s rostered in just 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Grab him if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire.

The struggling Cavaliers have made a change to their starting lineup, and it will hold for the foreseeable future. Tyson, a second-year wing who has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball, returns to the starting lineup with De’Ander Hunter being bumped to the bench. Even when starting, Hunter offered a limited fantasy ceiling. Fantasy managers should rush to add Tyson if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Tyson has been incredible as a starter during his second season in the NBA. He has been able to start more than expected due to various injuries, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. In 14 starts this year, he is averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game. As long as he is starting, he should be considered a must-roster player in every format.

Tyson’s final stat line wasn’t eye-popping, but he continues to hold down a place in the starting lineup. With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for at least another week, the second-year wing should be considered in a broader range of fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Tyson has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Yet he’s still rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

After scoring 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Tyson was far better against the Pacers. The 27 points were the second-most for him in an NBA game, trailing only Tyson’s 31-point effort against the Pacers in the 2024-25 regular season finale. With Tyson starting 12 of the 17 games he’s appeared in, it’s clear that he’s considered to be a player who can provide consistent value within the Cavaliers’ rotation. Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats, Tyson is rightfully being rostered in some 14-team leagues.

Tyson logged his eighth double-digit scoring performance of the season on Monday against the Raptors. Efficient shooting led to production, and his efforts on the glass nearly earned him his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Tyson will likely make his way back to the bench once the Cavaliers return to full health. But in the meantime, he’s a nice streaming option on nights when he steps into the starting lineup.

Garland (toe) and Tyson (concussion) are back from injury, with the latter filling in for the injured Jarrett Allen (finger). Allen’s absence also impacts Mobley, who will be the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That should give him more room to operate offensively, raising his fantasy ceiling. Nae’Qwan Tomlin will come off the bench and does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues.

After missing five games due to the league’s concussion protocol, Tyson is available to play on Friday. However, he’ll be restricted to 30 minutes in his first game back. Whether coming off the bench or filling a void within the starting lineup, the second-year wing has been productive. Tyson should be rostered in deep leagues, especially with Sam Merrill and Max Strus sidelined.

Tyson has missed Cleveland’s last five games due to concussion protocols. If he can play on Friday, the second-year will likely come off the bench, as Darius Garland (toe) is also questionable. Tyson’s best chance to start would be if Garland were unable to play.

Wednesday’s game against the Rockets will be the fifth that Tyson has missed since entering concussion protocols following Cleveland’s November 10 loss to the Heat. His absence has freed up minutes on the back end of the Cavs’ rotation, but this has not significantly impacted fantasy basketball.

Tyson was injured during Monday’s overtime loss to the Heat and has missed the last three games, including Saturday’s matchup with the Grizzlies. As for when he could potentially be back, there’s no timeline for the second-year wing. Tyson remains in the first stage of the return process as he works his way through concussion protocols. Nae’Qwan Tomlin has entered the rotation recently, and he’s worth tracking, but fantasy managers should not feel obligated to pick him up.

Tyson will remain out for a third straight game, which means Sam Merrill, Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter Jr. should continue to take on extended roles. Darius Garland (toe) is also still out, which should allow Merrill to remain a starter.

Tyson has entered the league’s concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during Monday’s loss to the Heat. With Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell also out, the Cavaliers will rely heavily on Craig Porter Jr. and De’Andre Hunter to absorb the available minutes. They’ll both be worth rostering out of necessity, with the latter already being an option in some 12-team formats.

With Darius Garland (toe) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, Tyson will return to the starting lineup. Tyson started the last three games before Garland made his season debut and will replace him once again. Cleveland has another back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday, which should be another chance for Tyson to start.

The Cavaliers welcome back Garland, Allen and Sam Merrill for Wednesday’s game, with the first two entering the starting lineup immediately. Allen’s return means that Larry Nance Jr. heads to the bench, with Garland stepping in for the ill De’Andre Hunter. Tyson will remain in the starting lineup, with Merrill coming off the bench.

While the Cavaliers’ injuries thus far have been aggravating, Tyson’s increased confidence has been a positive. The second-year wing, filling in for Sam Merrill, has scored 18 points or more in three straight games. Rostered in five percent of Yahoo! leagues, Tyson is providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats. However, Cleveland plays three games during Week 3, and none until Wednesday. If Merrill remains out, Tyson will be worth a look in deep leagues, but there’s no need to move right now.

Tyson entered Wednesday averaging 5.3 points per game, scoring no more than nine points in his previous four appearances. However, with Sam Merrill (hip) unavailable, the second-year wing had his best night of the season. Tyson was efficient offensively and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. One game does not make Tyson a player to grab off the waiver wire, but that could change if Merrill misses more time.

The Cavaliers are down another starter, as Sam Merrill (hip) will not play. Tyson, who started the first two games for the then-injured Hunter, will replace him in the lineup. Tyson hasn’t done enough to merit being streamed, but he’ll have opportunities to change that on Wednesday.

The second-year wing got the starting nod with Darius Garland (toe) and Max Strus (foot) sidelined, and while he wasn’t able to get any shots to fall, he still made an impact on this game, specifically on the defensive end. He played all his minutes with the starters, and there’s certainly a chance he opens the regular season in the starting lineup, making him potentially worth a late-round pick.

With Darius Garland (toe) and Max Strus (foot) both sidelined, Hunter and Tyson will occupy spots in the starting lineup. Hunter was expected to start, but Tyson comes as a surprise after not seeing the floor much during his rookie year. It’s the first preseason game, so this doesn’t lock him into the role to start the regular season, but he’s worth keeping an eye on as a dynasty stash and potential late-round sleeper in redraft leagues.
