Team-high five threes in return Strus registered 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 108-102 victory over the Knicks.

Impact After sitting out Thursday's tilt against the Pacers, Strus nailed a team-high five three-pointers and paced the Cavaliers in swats Friday in his return to the starting lineup. The veteran sharpshooter has settled into a key three-and-D role in 2024-25, averaging 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes while shooting 41.8 percent from deep over his last 12 games.

Out vs. Indiana Strus is out for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to knee injury management, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

Impact Strus has been bothered by a knee bruise, and the Cavaliers are doing the smart thing by sitting him down with the playoffs right around the corner. Strus has started in each of his 36 appearances since Jan. 20, averaging 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.6 steals per game. His next chance to suit up will come against the Knicks on Friday.

Solid stat line Sunday Strus supplied 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Strus was one of six Cleveland players who scored in double digits in this game, but more than his scoring, he delivered a strong fantasy showing by his contributions in other peripheral categories, mainly rebounds and assists. Strus is firmly entrenched in a starting role for the Cavs, but as a player who doesn't score in double digits often, his upside isn't very high, mainly since he's the fifth option on offense in a stacked starting unit.

Sitting out Friday Strus will not play Friday against the Pistons due to right ankle injury management.

Impact Friday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Cavaliers will exercise caution to keep him fresh. During Thursday's win over the Spurs, Strus produced 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes. Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro could see a bump in playing time as a result.

Scores 18 points vs. Spurs Strus produced 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 win over San Antonio.

Impact Strus was coming off three straight games in which he had posted single-digit scoring numbers, but he bounced back in this one and delivered a solid line across the board. The lack of consistency, as well as his diminished role, certainly hurt Strus' upside in most formats. He's scored in double digits in just four of his last eight starts, averaging 11.8 points per game in that stretch. He does deliver good shooting percentages, as he's making 45 percent of his threes in that eight-game span.

Drops season-high 24 on Tuesday Strus logged 24 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Even with the Cavs' starting five at full strength following the return of Evan Mobley, it was Strus who led the team in scoring en route to a season-high 24 points. The five made three-pointers also tied his best showing of 2024-25. Strus has drained multiple treys in seven of nine March games, averaging 12.1 points, 4.9 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.8 threes so far this month while shooting 41.0 percent from beyond the arc.
