Impressive facilitation continues LeVert contributed 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to Phoenix.

Impact LeVert's secondary ballhandling skills and on-ball style have been leaned on with Donovan Mitchell (knee) out. Elevating LeVert's usage has its pros and cons, evident through a stellar 8.3 assists and 3.32 AST/TO ratio across his last four contests, as well as lowly 35.2 percent shooting, including a 29.6 percent clip from deep, on 13.5 shots per game. A difficult matchup awaits Wednesday against New Orleans' top-10 defense.

Impact LeVert got the starting nod with multiple Cavaliers inactive, leading all Cleveland players in assists to go along with a half-dozen point sand a team-leading trio of steals in a balanced performance.

Impact The veteran guard has seen his usage and production increase over the last couple weeks with Donovan Mitchell (knee) sidelined. While LeVert did miss two games of his own at the beginning of March with a minor elbow injury, he's scored in double digits in each of his last six appearances, averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 assists, 6.0 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.

Good to go Tuesday LeVert (elbow) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against Boston.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Present for warm-ups LeVert (elbow) is on court for warm-ups in advance of Tuesday's game against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact LeVert could be poised to return from a two-game absence due to a right elbow sprain. If the 29-year-old is ultimately able to suit up, his offensive punch would be a welcome addition to a Cavaliers squad lacking Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Max Strus (knee).

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The elbow issue has forced LeVert to spend the past two games on the sidelines, but Cleveland could use LeVert now that Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the next three games. If LeVert is cleared for Tuesday's game, he could be looking at a starting role and a lot of responsibility on offense sans Mitchell.

Sidelined again LeVert (elbow) won't play in Sunday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact LeVert and Donovan Mitchell (knee) have been ruled out for a second consecutive game, creating an opportunity for typical role players Max Strus, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill to see increased usage. LeVert's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Celtics.

Impact LeVert and Donovan Mitchell (knee) have been ruled out, leaving Cleveland's backcourt depleted behind Darius Garland and Max Strus.

Impact LeVert didn't deliver eye-popping scoring figures after hitting 14 points off the bench, but his contributions in peripheral stats certainly stood out. The 15 assists were a season-high mark, and the two blocks also tied a season-high output. LeVert is expected to continue coming off the bench, as the Cavaliers are pretty much set when it comes to their starting unit, but he should remain valuable in some formats due to his excellent offensive contributions.

Productive off bench in win LeVert closed Sunday's 114-105 win over Washington with 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists over 28 minutes.

Impact LeVert has settled into a bench role for the Cavaliers this season, and there's no question this was one of his best performances to date, as he ended just two assists away from recording a triple-double. LeVert also reached the 18-point mark for the first time since Jan. 11, when he posted 21 points against the Nets. His fantasy appeal won't be high due to the nature of his bench role, but the veteran combo guard might be worth streaming in some slates and deep formats purely based on his offensive potential.

Struggles offensively in win LeVert supplied five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and nine assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 victory over the Bulls.

Impact LeVert salvaged another disappointing night with nine assists, the most he has served up in well over a month. Unfortunately, he has now scored fewer than six points in three of the past five games, falling well and truly off the standard league radar. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming candidate, with added value if and when the Cavaliers are dealing with injuries to other players.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Productive off bench LeVert accumulated 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 136-110 victory over the Kings.

Impact The veteran guard has struggled to find his form since returning from a two-game absence in late January due to a wrist injury. Over the last five contests, LeVert is averaging just 12.2 points, 3.8 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.0 threes, but Thursday saw his best scoring performance during that stretch, offering some hope he'll get back on track in February.
