Availability
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.
Dennis Schroder has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three-team deal that sees him and Keon Ellis going to the Cavaliers in return for De'Andre Hunter and Dario Saric going to the Chicago Bulls.
Fantasy Impact
Schroder gives the Cavaliers a backup at point guard with Darius Garland and Craig Porter Jr. dealing with a litany of injuries this season. Schroder should find himself in the starting lineup for now, and once Garland returns, he should still be in the rotation. His fantasy value should remain about the same, which has been highly dependent on his wild shooting swings.
Dennis Schroder scored 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3PT, 4-4 FT) in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
With Russell Westbrook (foot) out, Schroder was in the Kings' starting lineup for the first time since the middle of November. The veteran guard responded by delivering a new season high in points over 31 minutes of action. If Schroder is getting the minutes, he has definite upside in points and assists.
