Max Strus Still Sidelined Against Hawks
2 months agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. It's unclear when Strus strained his right knee, but he'll miss consecutive games with the injury and aim to return in Friday's battle with the West-leading Minnesota Timberwolves. Isaac Okoro is already filling in for Donovan Mitchell (knee), so the sharpshooting Sam Merrill could draw his second straight spot start after playing in Cleveland's first unit during Tuesday's close victory over the Boston Celtics. In a softer matchup against the Hawks, who are allowing the third-most threes per game (14.2) this season, Merrill is worth a look in fantasy hoops for points and triples.
