Nance posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Nance ends the season with a nice performance after producing season averages of 9.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks. He certainly is a threat to stuff the stat sheet when he is healthy and playing, but he's more of a compliment player than a building block.

Nance accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and four steals in 33 minutes Sunday against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Nance finished with his third-straight double-double and tied a season-high with four steals. While he doesn't do much scoring, the fourth-year center's seemingly found a home with Cleveland. He's proven his ability to play solid defense while contributing above-average assist numbers from the center position. In 26.5 minutes per game so far this year, Nance's managed 9.3 points 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 steals on shooting splits of 52.2 percent form the field, 34.0 percent from three and 70.8 percent from the line -- all of which are career bests.

Nance totaled 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block across 32 minutes Friday against Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Nance secured a game-high 14 boards and put forth an efficient shooting line in a six-point loss at Oracle Arena. He's drawn three straight starts with Kevin Love (shoulder) on the shelf and figures to stay in that role for the final two matchups of the regular season, assuming Love remains out. Nance has recorded 10 or more boards in each of his previous five games.

Nance drew the start for Kevin Love (shoulder) in Monday's 122-113 loss to the Suns on Monday and posted nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
It was an unsurprisingly strong effort from Nance on the first unit, as he essentially saw the same amount of playing time as he typically does off the bench. The fourth-year pro also hauled down double-digit rebounds for a third straight contest, and his value should remain steady for what's left of the regular season irrespective of where he slots on the depth chart.

Nance is starting Monday's game against Phoenix, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has been a rebounding machine off the bench for the Cavs over the last two contests, securing 10 or more boards during that brief stretch. With Kevin Love (shoulder) out of commission, Nance will slot in at power forward.

Nance contributed 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 28 minutes in the Cavaliers' 116-110 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Nance hit double digits in the scoring column for the fourth straight contest while posting his first double-double since March 6. Now that Tristan Thompson has returned to action from his foot injury, it's Ante Zizic who's been the odd man out in the frontcourt rotation, while Nance has encouragingly hung on to his normal allotment of minutes. Thus, the 26-year-old appears to be as valuable as ever from a fantasy perspective, with a double-double always a possibility when he sees sufficient playing time.

Nance will come off the bench Tuesday against the Celtics, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tristan Thompson will draw the start, sending Nance to the bench. In 34 games as a reserve, he's averaging 8.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 23.2 minutes.

Nance (ribs) will play Wednesday against the Bucks, Fred McLeod of Fox Sports Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has healed from his bruised ribs and will make his first appearance since March 8. There's a strong chance he starts and sees 20-plus minutes.

Nance (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has missed the past five games while recovering from bruised ribs, but it's possible he sees the court Wednesday. He'll look to test things out during morning shootaround to see if he can play.

Nance (ribs) remains out Monday against Detroit, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be the fifth straight contest in which Nance will be absent for, as the former Wyoming star continues to nurse bruised ribs which he suffered back March 8. With Kevin Love (back) listed as questionable Monday as well, teammate Marquese Chriss is a prime candidate to see an increased role against the Pistons.
