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.

Cavaliers Injury Report
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.
Mitchell posted a game-high 35 points (12-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-117 victory over Indiana. Mitchell was dominant for the Cavaliers on Tuesday, scoring a game-high 35 points that represented his highest scoring output since a Dec. 27 win over Denver. Over his last 11 appearances, the 28-year-old superstar guard has averaged 22.6 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.7 three-pointers while shooting 41.8 percent from deep. Mitchell draws a very difficult assignment during Thursday's showdown in Oklahoma City against the Thunder, who rank first in the league in defensive efficiency rating (102.9).
Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Due to a lingering illness, Jerome will remain on the shelf for a second consecutive contest. The 27-year-old has averaged 17.6 minutes per contest over 36 regular-season appearances (two starts), and Sam Merrill should see an uptick in playing time with Jerome sidelined. The guard's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Thunder.
Bates (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports. Bates is still managing a knee injury and is listed as out for the Cavaliers' matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday, but he figures to spend the majority of his time in the G League going forward. His next chance to play for the Cleveland Charge arrives Sunday against the Motor City Cruise.
Jerome (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports. Jerome is expected to miss his second consecutive contest while he deals with a lingering illness. If the guard remains sidelined, Sam Merrill will likely see an uptick in playing time. Over his last five outings, Jerome has averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 17.0 minutes per game.
