Coming off bench Wade will come off the bench Thursday against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen returning to the starting five after an extended absence, Wade will come off the bench. As a reserve, he's averaged 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.8 minutes.

Drops 13 points in win Wade ended Friday's 120-113 win over the Pacers with 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes.

Impact Wade was held scoreless in Wednesday's win over the Spurs, but he bounced back Friday and scored in double figures for the second time in the last three games. The 25-year-old has now served as a starter in seven of the last nine matchups, but his inconsistency on the scoreboard makes him a lackluster fantasy option.

Rejoins starting five Wade will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Wade came off the bench the past two games and will return to the lineup after posting eight points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 32 minutes Friday at Charlotte. Cedi Osman will move to the bench while Darius Garland (back) remains unavailable for Cleveland.

Returns to bench Wade will come off the bench Wednesday against the Rockets.

Impact After starting the previous four games, Wade will return to the bench Wednesday with Brandon Goodwin gaining the start at point guard. The 25-year-old struggled in the previous contest, going 0-for-5 from the field, however he had scored in double figures in each of the three contests prior to that. Wade has averaged 7.8 points in 27.7 minutes in his 20 starts this year compared to just 1.8 points in 8.3 minutes when he's come off the bench, which would point to his role being rather limited Wednesday.

Another double figure performance Wade had 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 loss to the Pistons.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (ankle) sidelined, Wade has drawn three consecutive starts and scored in double figures in each of those games. During that stretch, he has averaged 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.0 minutes per game. Markkanen is expected to be sidelined until at least mid-February, so Wade should continue to get plenty of opportunities if he keeps up his solid play.

JANUARY 25, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Excels in return to starting five Wade supplied 13 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 95-93 win over the Knicks.

Impact Wade started and trailed only Darius Garland and Evan Mobley in minutes. The absences of Lauri Markkanen (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (illness) led to the heavy playing time for Wade, who had combined for six points over 51 minutes across Cleveland's previous seven games. Wade could be a decent source of low-end scoring and three-pointers while Markkanen is likely out for at least a few more games, but the former's fantasy upside is relatively capped by his lack of production in other categories.

Starting for Markkanen Wade will start Monday's game against the Knicks, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (ankle) ruled out, Wade will move into the starting five for the first time since back on Dec. 28. Markkanen is expected to miss multiple games, so it's possible Wade could find himself in the lineup for the entirety of the Cavs' three-game Week 15 schedule.
