Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Turns in quiet showing
Rotowire
Wade produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-91 victory over the Clippers.
Wade continues to be held in check on the offensive end and has scored six or fewer points in three of his previous four appearances. It's also worth noting that he's seen a decrease in playing time during this stretch, averaging 21.0 minutes per game in comparison to the 27.5 minutes per game he averaged from Jan. 21 to Jan. 26. Opportunities could become even more difficult to come by for Wade with Jaylon Tyson playing well and James Harden (recently traded) expected to make his Cleveland debut Saturday.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Limited output in return
Rotowire
Wade (knee) finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one turnover across 16 minutes Monday in the Cavaliers' 136-104 loss to the Thunder.
In his return from a five-game absence due to a left knee contusion, Wade took back a spot in the starting five but saw minimal involvement on the offensive end, with his 6.9 percent usage rate ranking last among Cavaliers rotation players. While Wade will likely continue to start for Cleveland and see his minutes pick up in future contests, his role isn't especially fantasy-friendly. Over his previous nine non-injury-shortened starts prior to Monday, Wade averaged 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 25.6 minutes.
