Wade supplied 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 115-101 win over Philadelphia.
Wade recorded his first double-double of the season, a welcome sight for anyone holding him in deeper formats. Despite having carved out a starting role, Wade has been far from a must-roster player, averaging just 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in seven appearances over the past month.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Practices Friday
Rotowire
Wade (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Wade has sat out the past three games for the Cavs, but with him getting in a full practice Friday, there's a chance he will get back out there for either Sunday's game versus Boston or Monday's matchup with the 76ers. If he is cleared to return, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance's minutes could dip.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Wade is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.
The 29-year-old forward will be looking to end a three-game absence Sunday, when the Cavaliers face the Celtics. Wade's absence Tuesday should keep Jaylon Tyson in the starting lineup at small forward, making the latter an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Wade was initially listed as questionable before being ruled out for Friday's overtime loss to the Pistons due to a right ankle sprain, and it's not a positive sign that he's being ruled out a day in advance of Sunday's contest. The forward's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against Detroit. In the meantime, Jaylon Tyson and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Strong line in win
Rotowire
Wade accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 109-94 win over the Knicks.
This was a terrific line for Wade, but performances like these have been few and far between. His value is mostly limited to deeper formats, but he's trending up 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per contest over his last four games.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Goes 4-for-4 in return
Rotowire
Wade (ankle) contributed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and five rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday in the Cavaliers' 112-84 win over the Nets.
The Cavaliers made room for Wade and Evan Mobley (calf) in the starting five in their returns from three- and seven-game absences, respectively, sending Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill to the bench as a result. Wade came through with an efficient shooting performance, but because the Cavaliers had amassed a 35-point lead by the end of the third quarter, head coach Kenny Atkinson rested the 29-year-old forward as well as the team's other four starters for the final period. Wade is still averaging a modest 22.7 minutes per game on the season, so he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time even in more competitive contests.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Left off injury report
Rotowire
Wade (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Wednesday that Wade was on track to play, and Cleveland's injury report confirms that the forward will be available to open the second-half schedule. Wade has averaged a modest 5.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 23.4 minutes per game in his last nine appearances, and the expectation is that his return along with Evan Mobley's (calf) will result in Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill moving back to the bench.

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.
