Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Drills five threes off bench
Merrill posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks.
Merrill is an accurate three-point specialist and made his presence known off the bench. His fantasy production is almost entirely dependent on his success beyond the arc, which limits his viability. He's a borderline candidate in category leagues if you need help in that category.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Sinks trio of triples
Merrill notched 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 win over the Wizards.
Merrill started the season 1-for-7 from deep through two games but made a trio of three-pointers Saturday. The sharpshooter has a consistent backup role in Cleveland, but his fantasy upside is directly correlated to how well he's shooting from deep.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Should be ready for opener
Merrill (wrist) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Bulls but is expected to be available for the regular-season opener against the Raptors next Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill is in a similar situation to Max Strus (hip), as both players have missed the last two preseason games. However, based on recent reports, both are expected to be available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 23. Merrill has participated in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, so he's trending closer to being fully available. Even when that happens, Merrill shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside since he'll be nothing more than a depth option on the Cavaliers' bench.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: No restrictions for Game 1
Merrill (neck) isn't expected to face any restrictions Saturday in Game 1 of the Cavaliers' opening-round series with the Magic, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Merrill sat out the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain. The 27-year-old is good to go for the start of the Cavaliers' postseason run, but he won't be guaranteed a sizable role in the rotation while Cleveland has all of its key wings available.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Handles light role in series opener
Merrill (neck) was held scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with two rebounds and one assist in four minutes Saturday in the Cavaliers' 97-83 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
Merrill had missed the Cavaliers' final three games of the regular season with a neck strain, but he was back in action for the playoff opener.

Bickerstaff's rotation, however, as Merrill played just four minutes in the second quarter and didn't check into the contest at any point in the second half.
