Sam Merrill (elbow) is out for Monday’s game against the Hornets.

Merrill will miss a second straight game due to what the Cavaliers are describing as right elbow injury management. In his absence, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor took on larger roles in Saturday’s loss to the Knicks. Of the two, Thomas offers a higher fantasy ceiling, especially if Jarrett Allen (knee) remains out.
