Dellavedova had seven assists but did not score (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in 29 minutes in the double-overtime loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova had been in a nice shooting run. In his previous three games, he gone 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from the field, but he concentrated on setting his teammates up against the Bucks. The third-year Cavalier is playing the most minutes (26.5) off the Cavalier bench.

Dellavedova provided 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 26 minutes in the win over the 76ers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova has been scoring in double digits in every other game and continues to see an ample complement of minutes off the Cavalier bench. His averages of 8.5 points, 1.0 3-pointers, and 5.7 assists make him playable in deeper leagues.

Dellavedova turned in another well-rounded box score in Monday's win over the 76ers, finishing with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists, and five rebounds over 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Despite coming off the bench, Dellavedova played more minutes than any other Cavs player, as J.R. Smith's early exit due to a right knee contusion paved the way for more playing time at shooting guard. While working alongside Mo Williams for much of the affair, Dellavedova proved to be the more adept setup men of the two, and has now contributed a surprising 19 assists over his last two games. Even if Smith's injury doesn't end up sidelining him for extended time, the long-term absences of Kyrie Irving (knee) and Iman Shumpert (wrist) will allow Dellavedova to see close to 25 minutes per game, which could be enough playing time for him to make an impact for those in deep leagues.

Dellavedova handed out 10 assists to go along with five points (1-5 FG. 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds in 27 minutes in the win over Miami on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova played more minutes than starter Mo Williams and ran the offense more effectively. With Delly playing better defense than Williams, he could continue to earn more minutes and have some fantasy relevance as a back-end guard.

Dellavedova scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt) with three assists and two steals in 18 minutes in the win over Memphis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova seems like a decent bet to retain his minutes after Kyrie Irving (knee) returns. He is a defense-first player, unlike current starter Mo Williams. Dellavedova has averaged 19.0 points with 9.0 points and 3.5 assists in the first two games.

Dellavedova put up 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3 Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in a 1-3-97 win over Dallas on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The playoff phenom from last season was aggressive as ever tonight, fouling out in just 25 minutes of play. That's the type of player Delly is, putting his body on the line and playing at max-speed at all times. His fantasy value hasn't risen much though, as the Cavaliers acquired Mo Williams in the offseason to spell Kyrie Irving until he returns from his knee injury,

Dellavedova (ankle) pitched in 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, and a rebound over 26 minutes in Sunday's 87-81 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova appeared healthy from the sore ankle that caused him to miss Thursday's tilt against the Pacers, and turned in a productive outing overall. The 25-year-old has posted double-digit scoring nights in three out of five exhibition contests, and this type of offensive output would certainly be valuable to a Cavs backcourt that will need an infusion of scoring while Kyrie Irving remains sidelined.

Dellavedova missed Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers with ankle soreness, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavaliers also kept Dellavedova out of practice Friday with the injury, according to Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's uncertain if Dellavedova will be able to take part in the Cavs' final two preseason contests Sunday and Monday, but with the team's depth at guard already weakened by the absences of Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert, it may be a prudent move for him to sit out both games.

Dellavedova tallied 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, and a steal in 26 minutes of action Thursday against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova was considerably more productive than his 17-minute stint Wednesday in the preseason opener, where he mustered only two points over 17 minutes. The 25-year-old played shooting guard again Thursday, with Mo Williams taking over point guard duties in the absence of Kyrie Irving (knee). Dellavedova is expected to revert back to the regular bench role he previously held whenever Irving was healthy enough to take the court, but gained invaluable experience in last season's playoff run.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract extension on Monday, according to ESPN. Dellavedova stepped into a larger role in the playoffs after averaging 4.8 points and 3.0 assists during the regular season, but is expected to again come off the bench behind Kyrie Irving and Mo Williams next season.
