Nance is starting at power forward Monday against the Nets, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will stick in the starting five for a second straight game with Kevin Love (back) once again unavailable. In a pair of starts this season, Nance is averaging 13.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 33.5 minutes per tilt.

Nance totaled 11 points (5-10 Fg, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 110-104 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Kevin Love (back) who was sitting this one out. Nance was good enough in 32 minutes, rounding out the victory with an 11-and-12 double-double. The lack of defensive numbers was disappointing but those rostering Nance have to be pleased with the peripheral numbers. Love could return as soon as Monday when the Cavaliers host the Brooklyn Nets. If that is the case, Nance will likely shift back to the bench, a role that has him putting up fringe standard league numbers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance got the start in place of Tristan Thompson (rest) and delivered his best scoring output of the season, while tying his third-best rebounding total of the campaign. That said, Nance should return to the bench for Friday's road matchup at Dallas, reducing both his upside and his minutes going forward.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was originally questionable for this contest, but he's shaken off his sprained left thumb enough to play. It will mark his first start of 2019-20 campaign. Getting the nod in 30 games last season, Nance averaged 10.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and a combined 2.4 steals/blocks across 30.4 minutes.

Nance (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has missed the last two contests due to a left thumb sprain, though it looks as though he'll have a chance to return Wednesday. He'll likely need to make it through morning shootaround without issue to gain clearance.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will miss a second-straight game as he continues to rehab from a left thumb sprain. Look for Ante Zizic to see extended run until Nance returns.

Nance (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance's first absence of the season comes as little surprise after the Cavaliers listed him as doubtful on the initial injury report they released Saturday. The Cavaliers are viewing Nance's sprained left thumb as a day-to-day concern, so he could be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday versus the Knicks. Ante Zizic (foot), who is making his season debut Sunday, will likely take Nance's spot in the rotation.

EDGE Analysis

An official decision on Nance's status probably won't come until shortly before the 3 p.m. ET tipoff, but the 26-year-old looks on track to miss his first game of the season. Meanwhile, fellow big man Ante Zizic (foot) is listed as probable and is the most likely candidate to replace Nance as the main backup to starting center Tristan Thompson.

Nance (thumb) is day-to-day and should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 76ers, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.

EDGE Analysis

More information on Nance's availability may arrive Sunday morning as the Cavaliers go through their pregame activities. If Nance misses any time, Alfonzo McKinnie could be in line for more action.
