Still, the 28-year-old guard is off to a great start to the season, shooting 46.5 percent and 40.1 percent on 8.9 three-point attempts per contest.

Mitchell chipped in 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans. Mitchell didn't suffer any injury during Wednesday's contest but played a season-low 20 minutes due to the game being out of hand. Still, the 28-year-old guard is off to a great start to the season, shooting 46.5 percent and 40.1 percent on 8.9 three-point attempts per contest.
Thor racked up 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 victory over the Pelicans. Thor made just his second appearance of the season for the Cavaliers during Wednesday's blowout win over the Pelicans. The 22-year-old forward capitalized on his extended playing time by converting all four of his field-goal attempts and posting a season-high 12 points. As a two-way player, Thor will continue to split time between the NBA and G League.
Niang amassed 20 points (6-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans. Niang gave Cleveland a needed lift off the bench Wednesday, leading all Cavaliers in scoring while ending second on the team in threes made in a 20-point showcase. Niang posted new season-high marks in scoring and threes made, and he has tallied at least 10 points with three or more threes in four contests this year.
Tyson had 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over New Orleans. Tyson got his first career start Wednesday, and he performed well across multiple categories for Cleveland while posting a double-double and putting forth the best performance of his young career in a winning effort. Tyson, who recorded team-high marks in assists and steals, set career-high marks in every statistical category.
Jerome chipped in 29 points (10-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans. Jerome got his second start of the year while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) were inactive, and he once again boosted Cleveland offensively while burying a game-best total from three and ending with a team-high scoring total. Jerome set a new season high in threes made as well as points scored, notching his third outing of the year with at least 20 points. Jerome has been strong from deep over his last few games, connecting on at least four threes in two of his last three contests.
Jerome is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New Orleans while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) rest, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Jerome will make his second start of the season after delivering 24 points and eight assists in his prior appearance with the first unit. Jerome is averaging 15.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists while hitting 60.9 percent of 9.2 shots per game across the five contests in which he has exceeded 20 minutes of action this season.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. The Cavaliers are thin in terms of their wing depth and will give the rookie the first start of his career. Tyson will play alongside Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The rookie out of California has averaged only 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. Wade will miss both halves of Cleveland's current back-to-back set after spraining his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Hornets. He'll have plenty of time to rest and recover before attempting to suit up versus the Raptors on Sunday. With so many players sidelined Wednesday, Ty Jerome, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for elevated usage against New Orleans.
