Tristan Thompson

CLE • Center-Forward • #13

Tristan Thompson turned back the clock on Sunday and contributed three points (1-of-4 FGs, 1-of-6 FTs), 20 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks against the Pacers.

Thompson has been an elite rebounder for his entire career, but it has been a few years since he played enough to be relevant in fantasy basketball. However, he got the chance in this game and took advantage. His 20 rebounds were the most he has had in a game since 2020 when he grabbed a career-best 22 boards. It was fun to see Thompson play this well, but he won’t see more than a few minutes during the postseason.

More News About Cleveland Cavaliers

Jaylon Tyson

CLE • Guard-Forward • #24

Recap

Jaylon Tyson led the Cavaliers with 31 points (12-of-25 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block, four three-pointers and five turnovers in a 126-118 loss to the Pacers on Sunday.

Tyson was a first-round pick last summer, but he wasn’t able to carve out a role on a talented Cavs team. That isn’t an indictment of his talent since Cleveland finished with the best record in the East. He took advantage of the opportunity to play a significant role in this game and had the best game of his young career. Tyson won’t be a factor for them during the postseason, but he has a bright future in the league.

Dean Wade

CLE • Forward-Center • #32

Injury

3 days ago

Dean Wade (rest) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

Wade is on Cleveland’s lengthy list of absentees for Sunday’s game, which has no bearing on the team’s seeding for next week’s playoffs. Emoni Bates and Luke Travers, who have rarely played this season, should see rotation minutes against the Pacers.

Sam Merrill (rest) and Isaac Okoro (rest) are out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

The Cavaliers’ lineup will be depleted for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Jarrett Allen is the only rotation player of note who will be available. Merrill and Okoro are among those who will rest ahead of the playoffs, which the Cavaliers will begin on April 20. Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter Jr. are among those who should play plenty on Sunday.

Luke Kornet

BOS • Center-Forward • #40

Recap

2 days ago

Luke Kornet notched 11 points (5-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) with eight rebounds, two assists, a steal, and four blocks against the Hornets on Sunday.

Kornet made the most of his starting nod on Sunday with a well-rounded performance. The reserve big man has had quite a few strong showings in the final weeks of the regular season. He’ll likely play a modest role behind Kristaps Porzingis in the postseason.

Jaxson Hayes

LAL • Center-Forward • #11

Injury

2 days ago

Jaxson Hayes (hand) and Jordan Godwin (foot) are available to play against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Both players will be good to go in the regular season finale for the Lakers, which won’t have an impact on the standings with LA having already clinched the third seed in the West. Both Hayes and Goodwin should start with the Lakers playing without multiple starters, including LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

Mitchell Robinson

NYK • Center-Forward • #23

Injury

2 days ago

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Unsurprisingly, Robinson will not play in Sunday’s regular-season finale with nothing on the line for the Knicks. With Karl-Anthony Towns also out, players such as Precious Achiuwa, P.J. Tucker and Kevin McCullar will log rotation minutes in Brooklyn. Achiuwa has the best chance of blowing up for fantasy managers in active leagues.
