Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Scores career-high 29 points
Rotowire
Jerome chipped in 29 points (10-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans.
Jerome got his second start of the year while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) were inactive, and he once again boosted Cleveland offensively while burying a game-best total from three and ending with a team-high scoring total. Jerome set a new season high in threes made as well as a career high in points scored, notching his third outing of the year with at least 20 points. Jerome has been strong from deep over his last few games, connecting on at least four threes in two of his last three contests.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Set for another start
Rotowire
Jerome is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New Orleans while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) rest, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Jerome will make his second start of the season after delivering 24 points and eight assists in his prior appearance with the first unit. Jerome is averaging 15.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists while hitting 60.9 percent of 9.2 shots per game across the five contests in which he has exceeded 20 minutes of action this season.

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: Another productive showing
Rotowire
Jerome supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.
Jerome has been highly productive off the bench so far, and this was his seventh game with at least 10 points across 12 regular-season appearances. Jerome is averaging 9.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game off the bench in seven contests this month, and these numbers should be good enough to keep him as a decent streaming option in deeper formats.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Jerome chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 win over the Pelicans.
Jerome continues to operate as Cleveland's backup point guard to Darius Garland. Across nine appearances coming off the bench this season, Jerome is averaging 9.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 15.2 minutes. The 27-year-old guard has also displayed impressive efficiency, shooting 58.5 percent from the field, including 53.3 percent from three.

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.

Rotowire
Jerome is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.
The Cavaliers will rest most of their would-be starters for this contest, and since that includes the starting backcourt duo of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, Jerome will get the nod as part of the first unit alongside rookie Jaylon Tyson in the backcourt.

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.
