Max Strus Latest News
Drops season-high 24 on Tuesday
Strus logged 24 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 loss to the Clippers. Even with the Cavs' starting five at full strength following the return of Evan Mobley, it was Strus who led the team in scoring en route to a season-high 24 points. The five made three-pointers also tied his best showing of 2024-25. Strus has drained multiple treys in seven of nine March games, averaging 12.1 points, 4.9 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.8 threes so far this month while shooting 41.0 percent from beyond the arc.
Posts 10 points vs. Orlando
Strus closed Sunday's 108-103 loss to Orlando with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 27 minutes. Strus has scored in double digits in seven of his last 10 appearances, but at the same time, he's reached the 15-point mark just twice in that span. He has low-end fantasy value at the moment since he's the fifth scoring option in a stacked Cavaliers roster. He can be a serviceable streaming option in most formats, but he doesn't carry the same upside as other players on the Cleveland roster.
Stands out in win Sunday
Strus logged 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 victory over the Bucks. In a game where Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley weren't as dominant as they usually are, Strus stepped his game up and finished as the team's highest scorer. This 17-point output matched his previous season-high mark in this category, and he seems to be trending in the right direction after scoring in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 11.2 points and shooting 41.7 percent from deep in that stretch.
Notches 14 points
Strus racked up 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 133-129 overtime win over Portland. Strus' production has been pretty sporadic, making him hard to trust outside of deeper formats. Over his last 10 games, he's been just inside the top-150 in nine-category formats, posting averages of 10.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.6 three-pointers in that span.
Hands out season-high eight assists
Strus closed with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Friday's 142-105 victory over the Knicks. Strus handed out a season-high eight assists to lead the team in this area Friday, which is especially not an easy feat when both Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are available for the Cavaliers. Strus has settled in as a starter after missing time with an ankle injury to begin the season, as he's averaged 10.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes over his last 11 outings. Cleveland sports a fairly deep rotation at the moment, so fantasy managers should keep tabs on the veteran swingman's playing time going forward.
Solid in return
Strus put up 14 points (4-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 131-108 win over the Raptors. The veteran wing showed no signs of rust despite sitting out Monday's contest against the Timberwolves. In fact, he picked up right where he left off following a strong two-game stretch to close the last week, with a solid all-around performance. He's now averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 41.4 percent from deep over his last three outings. He'll look to stay hot Thursday against the Nets.
Available Wednesday
Strus (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Following a one-game absence Monday against Minnesota, Strus will return from an ankle injury Wednesday. Over his last eight contests, the veteran swingman has averaged 10.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.8 minutes.
Questionable to play Wednesday
Strus (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports. Strus was unable to play in Monday's 128-107 win over the Timberwolves, but he has a chance to return from a one-game absence Wednesday. Strus has been in the Cavs' starting lineup in his last 11 outings, and over that span, he has averaged 9.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 26.6 minutes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G.
Ruled out Monday
Strus (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Strus was a late addition to the injury report due to right ankle soreness, and it appears the issue is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Monday's contest. Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and newcomer De'Andre Hunter are all candidates to be inserted into the Cavaliers' starting lineup due to Strus' injury. Strus' next opportunity to see the floor will be Wednesday against the Raptors.
