Availability
Sam Merrill scored 32 points (11-12 FG, 9-10 3P, 1-1 FT) with five rebounds, an assist, and a pair of stocks in the Cavaliers’ 138-113 win over the Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
Merrill put up a career-high in points against the helpless Wizards squad, draining a ridiculous 9-of-10 threes point attempts. The veteran is having a career year for the Cavs, starting in 22 games this season. Until 2025-26, he had seven starts his entire career. His averages this season hint at a usable fantasy asset, and he can be, but he does have a good amount of fluctuation in production. The game before this he had nine points and the one before that, only two. So while he is having a great real life season, he’s not incredibly reliable at this moment.
Sam Merrill is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
Merrill will be active for the first time since January 14, when he suffered a hand sprain. Despite missing the team’s last five games, he is in the starting lineup and could see a heavy workload with Darius Garland (toe) and Evan Mobley (calf) sidelined.
Sam Merrill (hand) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
Merrill is probable to play on Wednesday. He has been sidelined for a couple of weeks due to a couple of different issues, but it looks like he's nearly full health and ready to make his return to the lineup. Look for Craig Porter Jr. to see less work whenever that happens.
Sam Merrill has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic.
Fantasy Impact
Merrill was originally listed as questionable on the injury report due to a right hand sprain, but will miss Monday’s game for personal reasons. It remains unclear whether he has fully recovered from the hand injury. His next opportunity to play comes on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. With him sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter are expected to continue seeing an uptick in minutes.

Fantasy Impact
