  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Scoreless in nine minutes

    Porter ended Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with one rebound and three assists across nine minutes.

    Playing in his third NBA season, Porter averaged a career-high 17.9 minutes per game across 64 regular-season appearances for Cleveland. His fantasy value was limited, however, as he posted averages of 4.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.9 steals on 45.0 percent shooting from the field in the regular season.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Sees nine minutes in loss

    Bryant finished Monday's 130-93 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and three rebounds in nine minutes.

    Bryant was used pretty sparingly as a third-string center for the Cavaliers in 2025-26. Across 60 regular-season appearances, he averaged 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.4 blocks on 50.6 percent shooting from the field in 12.2 minutes per game.

  • Dean Wade PF | PHI

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Scoreless in 12 minutes

    Wade closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 12 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    The Cavaliers were blown out of this contest, resulting in a lower workload for Wade. The forward appeared in 59 regular-season contests for the Cavaliers, posting averages of 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes per contest.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Quiet effort in Game 4

    Tyson contributed two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Tyson had a very quiet postseason for the Cavaliers, but his performance in the regular season turned some heads. Across 66 contests, he averaged 26.9 minutes per game with 13.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 44.6 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Keon Ellis SG | BKN

    Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Scores five points in loss

    Ellis chipped in five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    After being used sparingly by the Kings, a midseason trade to the Cavaliers gave Ellis new life. In Cleveland, he appeared in 29 regular-season contests (six starts) with averages of 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest.

  • Sam Merrill SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Sees 18 minutes in loss

    Merrill amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Merrill, playing in his sixth NBA season, put together a career year in Cleveland. Injuries limited him to 52 regular-season appearances, but he put together averages of 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 26.5 minutes per contest. Merrill is under contract with the Cavaliers for three more seasons.

  • Evan Mobley PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Scores 15 points in loss

    Mobley logged 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    The Cavaliers were swept from the postseason following this loss, but Mobley can hold his head high after yet another impressive year. Playing in his fifth NBA campaign, Mobley appeared in 65 regular-season contests with averages of 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes per contest.

  • Max Strus SG | LAC

    Cavaliers' Max Strus: Struggles in season finale

    Strus supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Strus simply couldn't find any rhythm, scoring single digits for the fifth time in the past six games. Although he was able to provide the Cavaliers with a strong defensive presence, his offensive output left a lot to be desired. In seven games over the past two weeks, he averaged just 9.4 points, 1.0 steals and 2.4 three-pointers.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Strong defensive showing in loss

    Allen closed with six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Allen salvaged what was an otherwise underwhelming night, tallying four defensive stats to go along with just six points. While it certainly wasn't the way he would've wanted the season to end, Allen was able to turn in a number of strong performances down the stretch. In 15 postseason appearances over the past month, he averaged 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest.

  • James Harden PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' James Harden: Comes up short in Game 4 loss

    Harden closed with 12 points (2-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 130-93 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Harden's reputation as someone who struggles when everything is on the line continued to build Monday, as he scored just 12 points on 25.0 percent shooting. Monday's loss closed what was a solid postseason run for the veteran, who averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 15 playoff appearances over the past month.
