Allen contributed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 loss to the Thunder. Despite playing a season-low 16 minutes, Allen was able to salvage his box score with a perfect night from the field en route to his 10th straight game with double-digit points. During this frame, the star big man has averaged 17.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 27.2 minutes while shooting 77.7 percent from the floor. The presence of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland in Cleveland's dynamic backcourt along with frontcourt mate Evan Mobley stretching the floor should continue to free up plenty of easy looks underneath the basket for Allen going forward.

Cavaliers Injury Report
Allen contributed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 loss to the Thunder. Despite playing a season-low 16 minutes, Allen was able to salvage his box score with a perfect night from the field en route to his 10th straight game with double-digit points. During this frame, the star big man has averaged 17.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 27.2 minutes while shooting 77.7 percent from the floor. The presence of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland in Cleveland's dynamic backcourt along with frontcourt mate Evan Mobley stretching the floor should continue to free up plenty of easy looks underneath the basket for Allen going forward.
Mitchell provided a season-low eight points (3-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 loss to the Thunder. Mitchell essentially went down with the ship in Thursday's blowout, failing to reach double-digit scoring figures for the first time in 37 appearances for Cleveland this season. The superstar guard has been up and down over his last eight games, averaging 19.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.1 threes in 29.2 minutes during that span. The 34-6 Cavaliers have seen 13 of their last 15 games be decided by double-digit points, which could be part of the reason Mitchell's minutes have been down recently. Fantasy managers can expect the 28-year-old to bounce back soon, but things won't get much easier Saturday against a Timberwolves team that ranks fifth in the league in opponent points per game (107.9).
Garland logged a team-high 20 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 134-114 loss to Oklahoma City. Garland's diminished playing time was more or less a byproduct of Thursday's rout, but he was still able to score a team-high 20 points and lead the Cavaliers with nine assists. The 24-year-old continues to push for his second career All-Star nod in 2024-25, as he's averaged 22.4 points, 8.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.6 threes over his last nine games. Garland is shooting a career-high 50.2 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from deep overall this year, and he should continue flourishing alongside Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland's dynamic backcourt.
Jerome (illness) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Thunder. Jerome missed the last two games for the Cavaliers while dealing with an illness. The 27-year-old guard will be a welcome addition back to the lineup for Cleveland, as he has played well off the bench this season, averaging 10.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 49.8 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from deep.
Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder. Jerome is at risk of missing his third straight game with an illness, but he'll presumably see how he feels Thursday before the Cavaliers update his status. Should the 27-year-old sharpshooter sit out another contest, veteran swingman Caris LeVert should continue operating as Cleveland's clear-cut sixth man off the bench against Oklahoma City.
Strus chipped in 13 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 127-117 victory over the Pacers. Strus led the bench in scoring in an efficient outing from beyond the arc. The sixth-year pro delivered a solid bounce-back performance after posting three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Sunday's loss to Indiana. Strus has reached the double-digit scoring mark in three of his last five outings, and in that five-game span, he has shot 50.0 percent from beyond the arc.
Mobley supplied 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-117 victory over the Pacers. Mobley tallied a game-high 13 rebounds while securing his fourth consecutive double-double. Over that four-game span, the big man has averaged 20.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.8 blocks across 32.8 minutes per game. Mobley put together an extremely efficient outing as well, finishing as the club's third-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (35 points) and Darius Garland (24 points).
Garland recorded 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists, one rebound and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 127-117 win over the Pacers. The 24-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (35 points), tying Caris LeVert for the team-high mark in assists as well. However, Garland did struggle from three-point range Tuesday, though he has still shot 40.5 percent from beyond the arc over his last five outings. The sixth-year pro has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five games. He is also on pace to shoot career highs from the field (49.8 percent) and from downtown (42.4 percent) through 38 regular-season appearances.
