Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) will get back to work on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. He missed the previous game due to ankle soreness.

Mon Feb 1018:24Max Strus Late Scratch For Monday Against Minnesota
According to Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (ankle) will be unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Strus was added to the injury report due to soreness in his right ankle. If the 28-year-old's ankle injury keeps him out of action for an extended period, newcomer De'Andre Hunter could be inserted into the Cavs' starting lineup. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Hunter, as he averaged 17.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game in his last 10 outings before being traded from Atlanta.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) will play against Utah on Monday. He's off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia. Following an ankle injury, Strus made his season debut Friday night, so seeing him sit out Saturday's contest wasn't surprising. Strus posted nine points with two assists in 19 minutes against Milwaukee in Friday's matchup. His production will likely stay limited for a while, and Strus will continue to come off the bench on Monday.

Fri Dec 20 202418:14Max Strus Set For Season Debut Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) will take the court for the first time this season on Friday versus Milwaukee. Per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Strus is ready to go after missing the first 27 contests of the campaign with a right ankle sprain. Strus had a career year last season in Cleveland, averaging 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 32.0 minutes. He'll be a nice addition to an already strong team, although Strus might need some time before he can operate at 100 percent.

Sat Oct 19 202420:44Max Strus Suffers Sprained Right Ankle
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (ankle) suffered a sprained right ankle on Thursday during a workout. The 28-year-old underwent an MRI, confirming the severity, and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks. Unfortunately, Strus' return date remains a mystery. But even when he's cleared to return, it will take time for him to get back to full speed. Strus appeared in 70 games for Cleveland last season, starting all of them, and averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists. With an opening in the rotation, Isaac Okoro will likely take his spot. The 2020 No. 5 overall pick is mostly known for his defensive prowess, so fantasy managers likely won't get consistent production on the offensive end. Instead, Caris LeVert could significantly benefit from Strus' absence, even if he comes off the bench.

Wed Oct 9 202408:30Max Strus Suffers Hip Injury In Preseason Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (hip) was limited to nine minutes in Tuesday's preseason contest against Chicago. He had zero points with two rebounds and one assist before being forced to exit the game due to a right hip contusion. Dean Wade started the second half in Strus' place. Cleveland returns to action on Thursday versus Indiana and might elect to keep Strus out of the lineup as a precaution ahead of the regular season. The 28-year-old sniper missed 12 games last term.

Mon May 13 202422:59Max Strus Plays Well In Game 4
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus had 15 points in Monday's loss to the Celtics. He added seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) wasn't available, so the 28-year-old did his best to fill the void by delivering his best performance of the series. With Mitchell uncertain for Game 5 on Wednesday night, Strus could continue to see more scoring chances, making him an ideal DFS option for any contest. However, after his efficient showing in Game 4, his rostering cost could rise significantly.

Mon Apr 15 202409:08Max Strus Records First Career Triple-Double
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus had a memorable outing in Sunday's regular-season finale against Charlotte, picking up his first career triple-double in a 120-110 loss. With Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Darius Garland (back) rested for the contest, Strus got to play the role of a playmaker and totaled a career-high 11 assists while scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He finished with 5-for-12 shooting, doing most of the damage with a 4-for-6 effort from three-point range. Strus has enjoyed deep playoff runs in recent years with Miami and will hope to do the same with the Cavaliers in 2024. The 28-year-old will enter the postseason after averaging 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists with 2.4 makes from deep during his first regular-season campaign in Cleveland.

Wed Mar 27 202418:25Max Strus Back On Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) will play in Wednesday's clash with the Hornets. The 27-year-old will finally return to the lineup after sitting out a few weeks with a sprained right knee. Undoubtedly, the Cavs are glad to have him back, considering the team has struggled in the last 10 games. With Strus' return, Caris LeVert will head back to the bench. However, Levert will still get enough action to warrant DFS consideration in a favorable matchup with Charlotte.

Tue Mar 26 202422:07Max Strus Questionable For Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) is questionable heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The 27-year-old has been sidelined for a few weeks because of a sprained right knee. While there's a chance he won't return versus Philly, the injury designation suggests he's at least moving in the right direction. But if Strus isn't available versus the Hornets, Isaac Okoro would presumably remain in the starting lineup. With that said, Okoro isn't always the most reliable fantasy option.

Sun Mar 24 202415:29Max Strus Won't Return Against The Heat
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) won't play on Sunday against Miami, his former team. The 27-year-old has been out for a few weeks because of a sprained right knee. But the Cavs hope to catch Milwaukee for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference heading toward the postseason, so the team would like to get him back in the lineup as soon as possible. Strus has been a welcome addition to the roster in his first year in Cleveland, averaging career-highs in points (12.2), rebounds (4.7), and assists (3.8). With that said, until he's back in the lineup, Isaac Okoro should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) has been ruled out for the meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The 27-year-old will miss his tenth consecutive game due to a knee strain. In that span, so far, the Cavs have gone 4-5 and they're now down by a game and a half to the Milwaukee Bucks for the second seed in the East. Since Donovan Mitchell (nose) and Evan Mobley (ankle) are also out, Darius Garland will have to lead the offense. Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert should remain in the starting lineup while Sam Merrill will likely see big minutes off of the bench. LeVert has been the most consistent of the three as a streaming option.

Caris LeVert is the main benefactor of all the Cavaliers' injuries, with averages of 13.4 points, 8.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals in his last eight games. Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang, Marcus Morris Sr., and Sam Merrill should also see minute increases with Strus and others missing time.

Fri Mar 15 202419:14Max Strus Sitting Out Another Game On Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) won't be available for a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Houston. He's been kept off the court by a right knee strain. Isaac Okoro should continue to play a larger role with Strus on the shelf, although the return of Donovan Mitchell limits his impact on the offensive end. Houston boasts a solid 112.3 defensive rating, so this likely won't be a very comfortable matchup for the Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with New Orleans. The 27-year-old sniper will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a right knee strain.

Across 33 starts across the campaign, Okoro has posted 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He's also upped his steals numbers to 1.6 this month and is averaging 1.1 blocks for March.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Sidelined for a fifth consecutive game due to a strained right knee, Strus aims to return for Wednesday's action against the New Orleans Pelicans. Caris LeVert is the preferred fantasy streamer in points leagues due to shaky percentages and turnovers, while Isaac Okoro is worth a look for points, three-pointers, and defensive stats while Cleveland is severely undermanned.
