Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Tyson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a neck strain.
The neck injury is a new concern for Tyson, who is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 19. If the second-year forward is cleared to suit up, he would likely remain in the starting five due to Jarrett Allen (knee) being sidelined. Tyson has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per game in his last four outings (all starts).

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Takes advantage of start
Rotowire
Tyson registered 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 loss to Milwaukee.
Tyson moved back into the starting lineup Wednesday with both James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) out of commission. Tyson responded to this move nicely by securing his first double-double since Jan. 19, despite not having his best shooting night. The Cal product has proven he can be productive when given the chance but has struggled to find consistent opportunities now that the offense revolves heavily around Harden and Mitchell.

Tyson got off to a hot start, dropping in 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting by halftime, but the Magic did a good job of taking him out of the offense over the second half. Still, he finished with a solid stat line and was Cleveland's second-leading scorer in the win. Tyson has been in a nice rhythm over the past eight games, scoring 18.6 points per game on 53.0 percent shooting from the field and 81.8 percent at the stripe to go with 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.1 triples per contest.

Rotowire

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Massive double-double
Rotowire
Tyson generated 23 points (10-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one steal and one block across 30 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 117-100 loss to Houston.
Tyson registered his fourth double-double of the season, and he set a career high in rebounds. The second-year wing paced Cleveland in points and shot attempts, but much of that production came in garbage time -- the Cavs were down by 27 heading into the fourth quarter. Additionally, eight of his 15 rebounds came on the offensive end. On the year, Tyson is averaging 13.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals across 27.6 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Tyson closed Thursday's 126-124 loss to the Knicks with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes.
Even though Evan Mobley and Sam Merrill are healthy again, Tyson doesn't seem like he's going to go away quietly. A 20-minute workload isn't ideal by any means for his fantasy managers, but it may be enough for him to stay afloat.
