Matthew Dellavedova handed the point-guard duties down the stretch of Wednesday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with eight points, four boards, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 23 minutes. Kyrie Irving was benched tonight and looked extremely unhappy as the game was coming to an end. Dellavedova has started four games this season, but all four games came at shooting guard. He's not really a guy who is capable of racking up the stats, so he's not worth owning in almost any league.

Matthew Dellavedova started at point guard for the banged-up Cavaliers on Sunday, scoring 11 points with two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two 3-pointers in 41 minutes. It went better than expected and Dellavedova handled a lot of the traps the Pacers threw at him. The Cavs aren't expected to be without Kyrie Irving (knee) and Jarrett Jack (back) for long, so there's little reason to pick up the rookie guard in most leagues unless you're dropping dead weight.

Matthew Dellavedova played 29 minutes and hit 4-of-7 shots (all 3-pointers) for 13 points, two assists and a steal in Saturday's loss. He is getting extra run with Kyrie Irving out with a sprained knee, but is only worth a look in deeper leagues, and even then he's an iffy player to own. He had scored a total of four points over his previous four games, making tonight look more like a fluke than anything else, and Irving still has a shot at playing on Sunday.

Matthew Dellavedova started at shooting guard again on Saturday against the Spurs, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, two assists and four steals in 34 minutes. It's hard to say how much run he would have gotten had the score been close, and this result follows a goose egg in 12 minutes on Friday, so there's clearly a ton of risk in using Dellavedova in fantasy leagues. But with the Cavs imploding at an impressive level, it's possible Mike Brown chooses to roll with one of the only guys that cares in Cleveland.

Matthew Dellavedova failed to score in a start on Friday during his 12 minutes of action. Well, that experiment didn't take long. Dellavedova was torched by Eric Gordon all night and he might not get another chance to start any time soon.

Matthew Dellavedova will start against the Pelicans on Friday. Dellavedova earned rave reviews for his defensive play against Bradley Beal on Wednesday, but defense is the keyword here. While the rookie has played 29 minutes per game in the Cavs last two contests, he offers limited offensive potential as he has only averaged 5.5 points and 4.4 boards in those two games.

Matthew Dellavedova provided a spark off the bench for the Cavs on Wednesday, finishing with nine points, three boards and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes. He was actually shutting down a red-hot Bradley Beal in the clutch minutes of this game and was a big part of a near comeback along with Kyrie Irving. Dellavedova doesn't really have much of an offensive game, shooting just 35 percent in the regular season and just 26.5 percent in the preseason. C.J. Miles pulled his calf, so some minutes could be up for grabs. For deep-league eyes only, folks.

Mike Brown said he was "speechless" after Matthew Dellavedova helped Cleveland beat the Wizards' over the final nine minutes of Saturday's game. The rookie was thrust into action due to Dion Waiters' somewhat mysterious absence, and he came up huge down the stretch. "He's a tough son of a gun," Brown said after the game. "He does what he does. Offensively, he's just a ball-mover. I've never seen a guy go 1-for-5 from the field and impact the game the way he did." It's nice to see Dellavedova succeeding but he has negligible fantasy value as a reserve guard with a temporary spot in the second unit.

The Cavaliers signed rookie PG Matthew Dellavedova to a partially-guaranteed two-year deal this weekend. The deal is worth $1.3 million but reportedly only $100k is guaranteed. He has yet to score in two brief appearances this year, but Mike Brown has raved about his leadership and values his presence on the practice court and in the locker room.

The Cavaliers are expected to keep training camp invite Matthew Dellavedova on their regular season roster. Dellavedova is battling for the third PG position and won't have fantasy relevance unless injuries strike. He's made a positive impression throughout training camp and the preseason with his leadership and intangibles, but athleticism isn't his strong suit. "If I were to bet, I'd bet half my salary that I'd get a dunk before he does," said Coach Mike Brown, "and I'm not even playing anymore."
