Jerome closed with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Friday's 124-101 victory over the Bucks.
Jerome made the most of his 16 minutes off the bench and provided a lift to the second unit while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Fantasy managers should know Jerome carries limitations due to his bench role, but he's been productive more often than not. He's averaging 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals across 14.0 minutes per game in December.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Feeling ill, could sit Tuesday
Rotowire
Jerome is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington with an illness.
Jerome is under the weather after he played 11 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 loss to the Celtics. Though the 11 minutes represented his least playing time in any of the past 14 games, Jerome's reduction in minutes likely had less to do with him being limited by the illness than it did Caris LeVert getting a bigger workload following a recent multi-game injury-related absence. If Jerome isn't able to play Tuesday, a spot in the rotation could reopen for second-year guard Craig Porter.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Extends impressive streak
Rotowire
Jerome recorded 26 points (9-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 victory over the Raptors.
Jerome barely saw the floor for the Cavaliers in the 2023-24 season, but there's no question the floor general is making his presence felt now that he's completely healthy. This was the third time he surpassed the 20-point mark over his last four appearances, and he remains a valuable contributor in the backcourt for the Cavaliers. Jerome is averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in 13 outings since the beginning of November.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Rare production in spot start
Rotowire
Jerome ended Sunday's 128-114 victory over Charlotte with 24 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and eight assists over 32 minutes.
Jerome filled in admirably for Donovan Mitchell (rest) and was an obvious threat from the three-point line on the way to a season-high 24 points. The Virginia product also dished out eight dimes, surpassing his previous best mark of six assists against Chicago on Nov. 11. Expect this type of production to be short-lived for Jerome, as he figures to return to a bench role after giving Mitchell a quick breather.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Fails to impress in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Jerome closed Monday's 116-114 victory over the Bucks with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one assist and two steals over 19 minutes.
With Dean Wade (illness) and Caris LeVert (knee) joining Max Strus (ankle) on the sidelines, Jerome had a clear path to a large role off the bench, but he failed to deliver strong production. Jerome's role has been a bit sporadic -- he's played at least 15 minutes in six of eight appearances but saw less than 10 in his other two outings. However, he appears to be the top point guard off the bench behind Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland to open the campaign, especially when LeVert is unavailable.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Another double-digit performance
Rotowire
Jerome finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 victory over the Wizards.
Jerome has scored at least 13 points in three straight games to start the season. After missing most of last season due to injury, Jerome has carved out a consistent backup role in Cleveland's backcourt. While his role remains safe, Jerome isn't expected to continue scoring at this rate, as he's shooting an unsustainable 73.7 percent from the field to begin the campaign.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Back to bench
Rotowire
Jerome won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Pistons.
With Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Caris LeVert all unavailable, Jerome drew a spot start last Thursday, posting 15 points and eight assists in 23 minutes during a preseason loss to the Pacers. However, the Cavaliers are rolling out their usual starting lineup Wednesday, so Jerome will operate off the bench.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Jerome delivered 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes in Thursday's 129-117 preseason loss to the Pacers.
The Cavaliers have two players capable of running the offense in Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Darius Garland (rest), but having Jerome as an insurance policy off the bench wouldn't be the worst thing. Jerome barely played in 2023-24 due to an ankle injury but could compete for a rotational spot if he keeps this up in the remaining preseason contests.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Ready for training camp
Rotowire
Cavaliers president Koby Altman said Friday that Jerome is healthy ahead of training camp, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Jerome missed nearly the entire 2023-24 season, during which he played only two regular-season games due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. The 27-year-old has been impressive during workouts, according to Altman, and Jerome could give himself a chance to contribute to the Cavaliers' rotation.
