Nance accumulated 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 113-98 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Love (calf) sitting out once again, Nance was afforded a spot in the starting five and he looked much more like the player we saw earlier in the season. There has been no indication as to whether Love will have an extended layoff but nonetheless, Nance should now be added in all formats despite there being a small element of uncertainty.

Nance will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Love (calf) out again after returning for two games and playing 12 minutes, Nance will rejoin the starting five. Across Nance's past five starts, he has averaged 4.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.0 minutes.

Nance finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Nance moved to the bench after starting Friday's game, and while his role was relatively unimpacted, he wasn't able to do much with his 26 minutes. Keep an eye on the status of Kevin Love, who departed Sunday's game early in the first quarter due to discomfort in his troublesome calf. If Love misses more time -- a distinct possibility -- Nance could pick up increased value as Cleveland enters a four-game week.

Nance will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance made his return from injury Friday night in New Orleans and immediately entered the starting five at small forward with Darius Garland (groin) injured. Garland will return to action Sunday, so he'll start alongside Collin Sexton in the backcourt, while Isaac Okoro and Kevin Love join Jarrett Allen in the frontcourt. Nance finished Friday's game with 11 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nance (finger) made his return to the court after missing the previous 12 games after having surgery on his left finger. He showed no signs of rust, scoring double-digit points for the 11th time this season. Nance was averaging 9.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers in 19 games before going down with injury, and he should produce similar numbers the rest of the way.

Nance will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Pelicans, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cavs have opted to go especially big with the return of Kevin Love, as Nance will start alongside both Love and Jarrett Allen. It remains to be seen if this will be Cleveland's strategy going forward or if they are simply tinkering around with options.

Nance (finger) will play Friday versus New Orleans, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance is set to make his first return to action since suffering a fractured finger Feb. 6, barring any setbacks. He averaged 9.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 33.4 minutes per game across 19 appearances before getting hurt. When Kevin Love (ankle) returns, however, Nance likely won't see so much playing time.

Nance (finger) is likely to play Friday against the Pelicans, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has been sidelined since Feb. 6, when he exited the Cavs' blowout loss to the Bucks with a fractured finger on his left hand. Before getting hurt, Nance started in 18 of his 19 appearances and averaged 9.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 33.4 minutes per game. His playing time and production could take a hit when Kevin Love (calf) returns. But until then, Nance might be able to pick up right where he left off.

The Cavaliers anticipate that Nance (finger) will be ready to play in their first game after the All-Star break March 12 at New Orleans, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has been sidelined since Feb. 6, when he exited the Cavs' blowout loss to the Bucks with what was later diagnosed as a fractured finger on his left hand. He underwent surgery two days later and has made rapid progress in his recovery, shedding the cast on his injured hand just over a week ago. He's since been cleared to take part in shooting workouts, and he plans to use the All-Star break to get his conditioning back in order and work his way into game shape following a month-long layoff. Assuming his surgically-repaired hand presents no issues when the Cavaliers reconvene for full-contact practice next week, Nance should be ready to rejoin the lineup against the Pelicans without any restrictions. Before getting hurt, Nance started in 18 of his 19 appearances and averaged 9.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 33.4 minutes per game, but his playing time and production could take a hit in the second half with Kevin Love (calf) also believed to be close to a return from an extended absence.

Nance (finger) is no longer in a cast and was doing a pregame shooting workout alongside Kevin Love (calf) before Wednesday game against the Rockets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has been sidelined since Feb. 8 while recovering from surgery on a broken finger. Being able to go through a shooting workout is a good sign for an on-time recovery. Nance is expected to return in late March.
