Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't play Tuesday
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Wade sprained his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Hornets and will be in street clothes for at least one game. Tuesday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Wade can be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's contest. In his absence, Georges Niang is a candidate for increased minutes.

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Iffy for Tuesday
Okoro (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Okoro sprained his left ankle in the first half of Sunday's 128-114 win over the Hornets. It was severe enough for him to be sidelined for the second half, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to play Tuesday. If Okoro is sidelined, Craig Porter and Ty Jerome would be the top candidates to see increased playing time off the bench.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable for Tuesday
Merrill (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.
Merrill has missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to left ankle inflammation, but he has a chance to return Tuesday. Craig Porter has been the biggest beneficiary of Merrill's absence over the last three games.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Dealing with left knee inflammation
LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
LeVert missed two games earlier in the regular season due to right knee soreness; however, he is now working through inflammation in his left knee. With LeVert, Sam Merrill (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) all working through injuries, the Cavs may have to go deep into their bench Tuesday, which gives Craig Porter, Ty Jerome and Georges Niang an opportunity to see more playing time.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Will play versus Boston
Mitchell (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Boston.
As expected, Mitchell will look to lead the undefeated Cavaliers against the reigning champion Celtics on Tuesday after resting during Sunday's win over the Hornets. Over his last 12 appearances, the All-Star guard has averaged 25.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Leads way with 25 points
Garland registered 25 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and 12 assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 win over the Hornets.
Garland took over as the team's primary scoring threat Sunday while Donovan Mitchell got the day off for rest purposes. Garland responded by leading his squad in points and assists, setting a new top mark on the year in the assist column. Garland is averaging 23.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five appearances.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Rare production in spot start
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' Jarrett Allen: Monster day on boards
Allen finished with 21 points (6-7 FG, 9-10 FT), 15 rebounds, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 victory over Charlotte.
Allen reached the 20-point threshold for a second straight matchup with the help of nine made free throws, a new season high. He also turned in his best rebounding performance since Nov. 4 against the Bucks, coasting to his 10th double-double of the year and his third in as many games.

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Leaves early Sunday
Okoro didn't return to Sunday's 128-114 win over the Hornets and finished the contest with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist in 13 minutes.
Okoro left the game in the second quarter due to a left ankle sprain and ended up sitting out the entire second half, even though the Cavaliers never formally ruled him out. Caris LeVert opened the second half with the top unit, so he could be in line to start Tuesday in Boston if neither Okoro nor Dean Wade -- who also left early Sunday with an ankle sprain -- are able to play.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't return vs. Charlotte
Wade has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Hornets with a sprained left ankle, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Wade suffered the injury when he landed on Pacers guard T.J. McConnell in the third quarter. He'll finish the contest with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds in 15 minutes. Wade should be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Cavaliers' next game Tuesday at Boston.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Goes to locker room Sunday
Wade (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Wade rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, and after being checked on by trainers during a timeout, the 27-year-old went back to the locker room. With Isaac Okoro (ankle) also in the locker room and Donovan Mitchell (rest) ruled out, the Cavs will look to Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Craig Porter to step up in the second half of Sunday's game.

Okoro (undisclosed) is in the locker room for the second half of Sunday's game against the Hornets, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
It's unclear what Okoro is being evaluated for, but he did not come out with the team for the second half. Caris LeVert started for the Cavaliers in place of Okoro to begin the third quarter.
