Strus has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to left foot injury management.

Strus will sit out the second half of Cleveland's back-to-back set after posting 11 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic. That was his first double-digit outing since dropping 24 points during his season debut against Dallas on March 15. In his absence, Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis are candidates for increased roles.

Nance (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Nance remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Magic. His status is unlikely to carry many fantasy implications given his lack of a role in Cleveland, even with Jarrett Allen (illness) sidelined.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Allen's streak of absences will extend to double digits. He's battling right knee tendinitis, and the team continues to treat him as day-to-day. His next chance to suit up will come during Friday's rematch against the Heat before Cleveland starts a three-game road trip. Thomas Bryant should continue to see elevated minutes off the bench until Allen is cleared to play again.

Tyson (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Tyson will be sidelined for a third straight contest and remains without a target date to return. In the meantime, guys like Keon Ellis and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are likely to be more involved for Cleveland.

Sasser (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Sasser was unable to shake his doubtful tag for this contest and will sit for a third straight game. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Pelicans. Daniss Jenkins should continue to be the primary beneficiary of Cade Cunningham's (lung) absence until Sasser is cleared to suit up.

Harris is probable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks with left hip soreness.

Harris, along with Jalen Duren (knee), were late additions to the injury report with probable tags. With that in mind, the Pistons may be contemplating a maintenance day Thursday against the Pelicans.

Duren (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Duren was a late addition to the injury report for this contest with knee soreness, but he intends to play through it. Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, however, so a maintenance day could be on the table for Thursday.

Ayton (back) is questionable for Wednesday against Indiana.

Ayton was a very late addition to the injury report, though his injury is being described as soreness, which sounds minor. Given the opponent, the Lakers may be contemplating a maintenance day here. If Ayton is held out, Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt would likely be more involved for the Lakers.

Thiero (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Thiero is not usually in the rotation for the Lakers, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications. He's made only four appearances since playing double-digit minutes against the Spurs on Feb. 10.

Hachimura (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Pacers.

Hachimura was previously considered questionable, but he'll miss his second straight contest and can be considered day-to-day moving forward. With Marcus Smart (ankle) also out, there will be plenty of minutes available for guys like Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard.
