Double-double in Memphis Strus registered 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 108-101 victory over the Grizzlies.
Impact It's the fourth double-double of the season for Strus, adding to his career-best total. The fifth-year forward saw his usage shrink in January but he's still scored in double digits in six of the last games, averaging 10.7 points, 5.6 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.

Solid contributions Wednesday Strus contributed 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Strus posted his third consecutive game with double-digit scoring, although he had been extremely quiet through seven January contests prior, failing to exceed nine points on six occasions. The 27-year-old delivering inconsistent and underwhelming production in the context of Darius Garland's (jaw) extended absence is discouraging. Sam Merrill has stepped up as an equal contributor to Strus of late.

Impact Strus suffered a knee injury Thursday against the Nets, but his participation in Monday's morning shootaround is a positive sign for his availability against Chicago. However, the Cavaliers will likely see how he fares following the shootaround before determining his status for Monday's game.

Questionable to play Monday Strus (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Chicago.
Impact Strus exited Thursday's game due to right knee soreness, although there was no clear incident that caused the injury. Carrying a questionable designation coming off three days of rest is notable, however, making his status murky for Monday's game.

Cleared to launch Strus posted 26 points (9-22 FG, 5-17 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Saturday's 109-95 win over Chicago.
Impact Strus bombed away en route to a career-high 17 three-point attempts. No player has attempted more than 18 threes in a game this season, but Strus' firepower was needed Saturday with Darius Garland (jaw), Donovan Mitchell (illness), Evan Mobley (knee), and Caris LeVert (knee) all inactive. Notably, his middling efficiency aligns with his inability to self-create this season, as Strus is connecting on just 28.6 percent of his dribble jumpers.

Impact Strus has stepped into a large role across Cleveland's last five games, averaging 32.4 minutes per night. He's slumped to the tune of 9-for-39 shooting from beyond the arc over that span, but his shooting gravity and two-way play will be needed alongside Donovan Mitchell in Darius Garland's (jaw) absence. Strus is knocking down 36.5 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes this season.

Flirts with double-double Tuesday Strus posted 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 120-113 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Strus fell just one rebound short of a double-double, another in a long line of strong performances. Although his shooting has regressed of late, he continues to chip in across other categories. His efficiency should level out sooner rather than later, likely seeing him remain a borderline top-80 asset moving forward.

Impact Strus' production has been a bit of a rollercoaster lately, although there's been far more ups than downs this season. Strus is on pace to return fifth-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues with averages of 14.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers on 43.9 percent shooting from the field and 82.6 percent from the line.
