Fantasy Impact
Strus has been limited to just six games for the Cavaliers this season, but posted a season-high 29 points on Friday. In his six games, Strus has had two great games, one average game, and three duds as he works his way back from injury. In his two big games, Strus averaged 26.5 points and 8.0 rebounds while shooting 17-of-23 (73.9%) from the field and 14-of-18 (77.8%) from three-point range. In his other four games, however, Strus averaged 5.5 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 8-of-26 (30.8%) from the field and 6-of-23 (26.1%) from deep. Strus is a difficult player to predict right now but, when he's on, he can go off at any point.
