The Cavaliers are pretty thin in terms of depth Monday, as Evan Mobley (calf), Isaac Okoro (shoulder) and Caris LeVert (wrist) are all sidelined. Strus, who will be making his first start of the campaign, is averaging 7.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.0 three-pointers through 13 appearances this season.
