LAMAR STEVENS NEWS

Unlikely to play Friday Stevens is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Stevens has started the last six games for the Cavs after operating in a limited role to begin the season, averaging 9.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 28.7 minutes per contest during the recent stretch. However, it appears the third-year forward is expected to miss Friday's matchup in Milwaukee, so Dean Wade and Cedi Osman should see increased playing time if he's ultimately ruled out.

Efficient shooting from field Stevens closed Sunday's 113-87 win over the Heat with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes.

Impact Stevens scored in double figures for the third time in his last four contests, though he did so much more efficiently Sunday night. He also collected his first steal of the 2022-23 campaign. Stevens has started four straight matchups and looks to remain in this role until further notice.

Starts in return Stevens amassed 15 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact In his first start of the season, Stevens provided solid production. The 25-year-old had played just 23 minutes across three contests all season before Sunday's 30-minute outing. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Dean Wade (knee) out, Stevens was called upon to step up, and he delivered. It's unlikely that he'll land a regular spot in the starting lineup unless those injuries persist.

Sees rare increase in workload Stevens closed with six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one block over 19 minutes during Friday's 112-88 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Stevens had failed to appear in each of his team's last five matchups entering the night, but he ended up logging a season-high 19 minutes while also tallying his first points and first block of the campaign. Stevens is currently buried on the depth chart behind Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, Cedi Osman and Dean Wade, so his opportunities figure to be few and far between moving forward barring any significant injuries.

Impact Stevens scored half of his total scoring output from the charity stripe, but that doesn't hide the fact that he was quite efficient in the preseason finale. That said, he is not expected to hold a regular role in the rotation and is not likely to be a significant factor across fantasy formats.

Impact Stevens started for the fourth consecutive game, putting up his highest points total in more than two months. Despite starting three straight games, Stevens has failed to log more than 21 minutes during that span, making him a starter by name only. A consistent role does mean he can have some value in very deep leagues, but for those in 12-team formats, he warrants very little attention.
