Scheierman finished Sunday's 111-89 victory over the Lakers with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes.

Scheierman started his fourth straight game and sixth in his last seven appearances, and he's been relatively productive as a member of the first unit. During that latter seven-game period, Scheierman has averaged 9.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per contest.

Tyson notched seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

Tyson's minutes continue to trend in the wrong direction at the worst possible time in fantasy hoops. Over his last four games, he's seeing 19.1 minutes per contest with 7.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers. He's a drop candidate unless an injury in Cleveland opens things up.

Schroder accumulated 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

Both Schroder and Keon Ellis have secured decent roles off the bench, but neither player has standard-league fantasy appeal as long as James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are upright. Through seven appearances with Cleveland, Schroder has averaged 8.7 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes across seven contests.

Suggs (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Suggs has a chance to end a two-game absence with back spasms. Tristan da Silva would likely remain in the starting lineup for a third consecutive contest in the event that Suggs is unable to play Tuesday.

Ellis racked up nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

Ellis made a strong impact off the bench and continues to play a key role for the second unit. Since joining Cleveland via trade, Ellis has averaged 21.4 minutes across five appearances with 5.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Shannon contributed six points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) over 18 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the 76ers.

Shannon had made a pair of appearances in the G League with the Iowa Wolves prior to the All-Star break, but he took the court Sunday with Minnesota for the first time since Dec. 25 following an extended absence due to a left foot abductor hallucis strain. The second-year wing had been left out of the rotation in the Timberwolves' first game out of the break Friday against the Mavericks, but Shannon was able to pick up some minutes Sunday with Rudy Gobert (suspension) and Naz Reid (foot) sitting out. Gobert will be back in action Tuesday in Portland, but it's not clear if Shannon will be able to stick in the rotation if Reid also returns for that contest.

Vucevic ended Sunday's 111-89 victory over the Lakers with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

The star big man is still acclimating to his new surroundings in Boston, so fantasy managers should remain patient for the time being. Vucevic has averaged 11.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes per contest in his last five games (zero starts), shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Jerome (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Jerome was a late addition to the injury report, and that's usually not a great sign in fantasy hoops. If Jerome is unable to shake this questionable tag, the Grizzlies could lean heavily on Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer.

Waters (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Waters has the green light to return after seven games in a row on the shelf. He'll be an emergency depth option.

Goodwin (calf) does not have a return timetable, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports Monday.

Goodwin suffered a left calf strain during Saturday's win over the Magic. The Suns aren't ready to announce a timetable, and the timing isn't ideal with Dillon Brooks (hand) sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks and Devin Booker (hip) out at least another week. Jamaree Bouyea, Amir Coffey, Isaiah Livers and Ryan Dunn could be candidates for more run in Goodwin's absence.
