Cavaliers' Peyton Watson: Struggles on offense
Watson recorded six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 22 minutes as a starter during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.
Watson struggled with his shot, particularly from beyond the arc, but contributed defensively with a pair of steals. His defensive contributions offer fantasy appeal, though inconsistent offensive production could limit his overall upside.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Sees limited run
Proctor finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.
Proctor saw limited action for the second consecutive preseason contest, suggesting he remains on the outside looking in for a regular rotation spot. With Cleveland featuring several established backcourt options, the young guard appears unlikely to command meaningful fantasy value without injuries opening additional opportunities.

Cavaliers' Mario Hezonja: Plays well off bench
Hezonja recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 17 minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.
Hezonja bounced back from a difficult preseason debut, contributing across the board while shooting efficiently from beyond the arc. The veteran forward displayed the versatility Cleveland hopes to utilize in its second unit, and Sunday's performance should help his case for consistent rotation minutes. However, his fantasy outlook will depend on how much playing time he can secure in a crowded Cavaliers rotation.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Scores 14 points Sunday
Mobley finished with 14 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over the Magic.
While Mobley didn't shoot the ball well Sunday, his scoring contributions improved after amassing eight points in Thursday's preseason loss to the Celtics. The 25-year-old ended the 2025-26 campaign by averaging 18.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 blocks over 31.9 minutes per contest. Mobley's three-point percentage dipped last year, but his biggest issue is his health, with the 2021 No. 3 overall pick logging 65 games or fewer in two of the last three seasons.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Productive in preseason win
Mitchell ended with 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.
As was the case in Thursday's preseason loss to the Celtics, Mitchell scored 11 points versus Orlando. However, he was inefficient when shooting the ball and has now shot a combined 1-for-6 from deep in his first two preseason appearances of the year. Mitchell, who agreed to a four-year, $273 million contract extension in July, is coming off a solid 2025-26 campaign, averaging 27.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.5 steals over 33.5 minutes per contest in 70 regular-season games. The 2017 No. 13 overall pick does a lot of things well, and assuming he continues to stay healthy, he should be a top-15 fantasy producer in any format.

Cavaliers' James Harden: Plays well in preseason debut
Harden finished with 24 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 119-105 preseason victory over Orlando.
Harden wasn't available for Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston due to an ankle injury, but he was cleared to suit up Sunday. He played exceptionally well, already appearing in mid-season form in his first exhibition of the 2026-27 campaign. The 2018 Most Valuable Player, who signed a three-year deal with Cleveland in August, averaged 23.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists over 34.8 minutes per contest in 70 games combined for the Cavaliers and Clippers in 2025-26. While Harden is entering his age-37 season, he is still an All-Star-caliber player despite his most productive days likely being a thing of the past.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Not starting Sunday
Tyson won't start Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
James Harden (ankle) is back in the starting five, pushing Tyson to the second unit. Across 17 minutes in Thursday's preseason-opening loss to Boston, he posted 14 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Won't play Sunday
Tomlin (back) is out for Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Tomlin will miss a second straight contest to open the preseason due to lower back soreness. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Magic.

Cavaliers' Khalifa Diop: Won't go Sunday
Diop (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Diop missed Thursday's preseason-opening loss to the Celtics for undisclosed reasons but is now listed as out due to a left knee injury. His next chance to play in the preseason will come in Tuesday's rematch against Orlando.

Cavaliers' James Harden: Will play Sunday
Harden (ankle) will play and start Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Harden missed Cleveland's preseason opener due to right ankle soreness, but he will play Sunday. He will likely see fairly limited action in his return, given that it is the preseason.

Cavaliers' Jaxson Robinson: Signs with Cleveland
Robinson signed a training camp contract with the Cavaliers on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.
Robinson could compete for a spot on Cleveland's regular-season roster in the preseason, with his first chance to play coming Sunday against Orlando. However, the club owns his G League rights and could waive him at any time.

Cavaliers' Tristan Enaruna: Scores 13 off bench
Enaruna finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston.
Enaruna provided an efficient scoring spark off the bench, connecting on five of his seven field-goal attempts while knocking down two triples. The 25-year-old forward made a positive impression in limited action, though he faces an uphill battle for meaningful regular-season minutes as a two-way player.

Cavaliers' Meleek Thomas: Records three steals in loss
Thomas recorded 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston.
Thomas struggled from beyond the arc but displayed encouraging defensive activity, leading Cleveland with three steals. The rookie second rounder received significant playing time in his first preseason appearance, providing an opportunity to showcase his scoring instincts and defensive potential. However, his regular-season role will likely be limited as he adjusts to the NBA level.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Hands out 10 dimes
Porter recorded five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block in 16 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston.
Porter delivered an impressive playmaking performance, reaching double-digit assists without committing a turnover. His ability to facilitate the offense and contribute defensively could strengthen his case for backcourt minutes, although Cleveland's guard depth may make consistent playing time difficult to secure.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Blocks two shots in loss
Bryant recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks in nine minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston.
Bryant was productive in a brief appearance, connecting on three of his four field-goal attempts while making an impact as a rim protector. With Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley anchoring Cleveland's frontcourt, Bryant projects to serve primarily as a reserve big man, limiting his fantasy upside unless additional minutes become available.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Hits two triples
Merrill finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one assist in 10 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to Boston.
Merrill was efficient from the perimeter despite seeing limited playing time. The veteran sharpshooter should continue providing Cleveland with floor spacing off the bench, though his fantasy value will remain tied primarily to his three-point production and opportunities within the Cavaliers' backcourt rotation.
... See More ... See Less -
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Solid defensive production in brief stint
Allen registered six points (3-5 FG), four rebounds and two steals across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Allen made the most of his limited touches before the Cavaliers turned to their reserves. The center collected all four rebounds on the defensive glass and finished with a neutral plus-minus rating, which was the best mark among Cleveland's starters. His limited offensive involvement wasn't surprising given the Cavaliers' abbreviated rotation, and Allen should continue serving as a reliable source of rebounds, efficient interior scoring and defensive production during the regular season. His role ahead of the start of the campaign isn't at risk, with the Cavaliers simply limiting the playing time of their projected starers in the preseason games.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Quiet outing in preseason loss
Mobley finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), a rebound and an assist across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Mobley saw limited opportunities on offense, attempting just five shots while Cleveland gave its starters identical playing time, but he was efficient. His limited minutes and low usage reflected preseason circumstances more than any meaningful change in his expected regular-season role, so fantasy managers shouldn't focus too much on his reduced preseason playing time.
... See More ... See Less -
Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores 11 points in limited action
Mitchell recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three assists across 17 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Mitchell played exclusively in the first half as Cleveland distributed minutes evenly among its starters, with all five logging exactly 17 minutes. With Cleveland prioritizing rotation evaluation during the preseason, Mitchell's modest workload shouldn't raise concerns about his regular-season offensive role. He should remain one of the team's go-to options ahead of the regular-season opener against the 76ers on Thursday, Oct. 22.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Strong showing in preseason loss
Tyson tallied 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes during Thursday's 124-113 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Tyson put together a solid night on the offensive end, and his effort was enough to lead the Cavs in scoring. He drew the start Thursday with James Harden (ankle) sidelined, though he'll be expected see the majority of his minutes off the bench once the regular season gets underway later this month.
