Nance isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance drew the start in Cleveland's previous contest due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (finger). However, Allen is available for Wednesday's tilt and will re-enter the first five. In the five games Allen has been healthy, Nance has averaged 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds across 15.4 minutes per game.

Nance will start in Sunday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran big man will get the starting nod over Dean Wade with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined for a second consecutive game. Over six regular-season appearances, Nance has averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 36.7 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per contest.

Nance closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 victory over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has been highly effective in limited run through three games for the Cavaliers. He's averaging 8.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 14.9 minutes through three regular-season contests, proving that he still has plenty left in the tank. His low workload makes him difficult to trust, but if the Cavaliers are ever shorthanded, Nance would be an appealing streamer.

Nance is coming off the bench in Tuesday's preseason finale against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will take over their usual duties in the frontcourt for Tuesday's final tune-up. Nance is set to open the new season as Allen's top backup at center, and the former's streaming appeal will likely be limited in that role.

Nance posted 11 points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Nance drew the start Sunday with the Cavaliers sitting their key players, and that included Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Nance was a key free agent acquisition for the team and projects to be the first big off the bench, and it helps that he can fill in at the four and five in the frontcourt.

Nance is part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

With several projected starters seemingly resting, Nance will draw a start Sunday. Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor, Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade make up the rest of the first unit.

EDGE Analysis

Nance is set to embark on his second tenure with the Cavaliers, as he spent parts of four seasons in Cleveland earlier in his career. The veteran big man will likely serve as Jarrett Allen's top backup at center, also supplying the Cavs with frontcourt depth at power forward behind Evan Mobley. Nance was fairly effective when healthy in a reserve capacity for the Hawks during 2024-25, closing with averages of 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes across 24 regular-season games.

The Hawks announced Wednesday that Nance (knee) will miss the rest of the season while recovering from a right medial femoral condyle fracture.

EDGE Analysis

After suffering a right knee injury in Tuesday's win against the Magic, Nance will miss a considerable amount of time with a non-displaced fracture. The veteran forward's injury will be re-evaluated in six weeks, and it could eventually result in being ruled out for the season. The 31-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game for the Hawks while shooting a career-high 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.
