Tristan Thompson

Tristan Thompson will rest once again on Tuesday against the Hornets in the regular season's final game. Ante Zizic and Marquese Chriss will be filling in for Thompson and Love.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson at least played almost double the number of games as Kevin Love but was basically limited to just 16 games over the past four-plus months. Thompson averaged a double-double this season but is owed a ridiculous $18.5 million next season. Thompson is a trade candidate and the Clippers could be a landing spot for him.

Tristan Thompson will rest on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Marquese Chriss and Ante Zizic will pick up minutes at the five on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Chriss and Zizic are both worth a look in DFS lineups on Sunday despite Kevin Love looking like he will play. Chriss is probably the better option but Thompson was a major bust in fantasy this season.

Tristan Thompson returned to the court for the Cavaliers on Wednesday after a 26-game absence with a foot injury. He made all three of his shot from the field and a free throw for seven points while adding six rebounds.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson could see his playing time increment over the coming games. If his minutes get up into the 20s then he will have a little bit of fantasy appeal with his double-double potential.

Tristan Thompson remains out of the lineup on Saturday against the Pistons. Larry Nance will draw the start with Channing Frye picking up more minutes.

Fantasy Impact

With Thompson and Love out, Nance and Marquese Chriss become viable fantasy options in almost all leagues. Cedi Osman should get a boost also. At this point, cut Thompson if you haven't already.

Tristan Thompson has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the New York Knicks due to a nagging foot injury. Thompson hasn't played since December 10th so Ante Zizic and Larry Nance will continue to get more run.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson needs to be left on the waiver wire due to the foot injury which caused him to miss so much time. The Cavaliers aren't going to make the playoffs so it's quite possible Thompson is shut down for the season. Zizic should get plenty of run down the stretch.
