Availability
Dennis Schroder has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
Schroder will sit out the season finale for the Cavaliers. Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor should continue to see more run for Cleveland.
With James Harden (personal) unavailable Monday, Schröder drew the start and delivered his first double-double since joining Cleveland — 22 points (8-of-12 FGs), 11 assists, four rebounds, and one three-pointer in the 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
It was also his second 20-point game as a Cavalier, and shooting 8-of-12 in a starting role against a shorthanded Memphis squad makes the performance even more encouraging for fantasy managers monitoring his role down the stretch.
Dennis Schroder is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Schroder got the start in Wednesday’s loss to the Bucks. James Harden remains questionable after he sat out Wednesday’s game. He could see another start if he is cleared and Harden remains sidelined.
Schröder came within one of his season-high Wednesday, finishing with 26 points (8-of-14 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), five assists, three three-pointers, two rebounds, and one steal in his first start since being traded to Cleveland. It was also his first game with more than 12 points as a Cavalier.
Fantasy Impact
Both James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) were sidelined, and how much playing time Schröder sees going forward will depend heavily on their availability.
Dennis Schroder scored 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3P) with two rebounds, six assists, and three steals in the Cavs’ 124-91 win over the Clippers.
Fantasy Impact
Schroder had a nice debut for the Cavs working off the bench, but one has to wonder what his playing time would have been if the game was closer and if newly acquired James Harden was playing. We should get answers to these questions soon, but for now Schroder remains a speculative add at best for fantasy.
