Strus had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Strus is 9-for-13 from distance over the past two games after going 1-for-9 in the two before that. While the inconsistency can be frustrating for fantasy managers, Strus is shooting 43.3 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from three in his nine appearances so far -- similar to last year's efficiency. The wing is also contributing 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds over the past five games, giving him some deep league value as more than just a shooter.

Strus racked up 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fifth appearance of the season, Strus appeared to find his stride with his first game in double figures. He's due for some positive regression with his shot, as he's currently hitting 37.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Strus accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 124-113 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Strus managed just two points while from a one-game absence as part of his ramp-up from injury. Coming off what might be considered a breakout campaign during the 2023-24 season, Strus is unlikely to reach any great heights given the current mindset in Cleveland. With the team playing about as well as could be expected, he could struggle to hit 30 minutes on any given night, liming his overall upside.

Strus (ankle) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Strus made his season debut Friday and was unsurprisingly held out of Saturday's game as he continues to make his way back to play. Strus logged 19 minutes in his return, so it seems as if he will have a respectable role whenever he is able to suit up.

Strus won't play in Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to right ankle injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Strus made his season debut Saturday after missing the first 27 games of the 2024-25 campaign due to an ankle injury. While there is no indication that Strus aggravated that injury, he will sit out the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back Saturday for precautionary reasons. The 28-year-old forward should return to action for Monday's matchup with Utah.

Strus (ankle) tallied nine points (3-8 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and two assists in 19 minutes in Friday's 124-101 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Strus started in all 70 of his appearances with the Cavaliers in 2023-24, but after missing the first 27 games of the 2024-25 with a right hip contusion and a right ankle sprain, head coach Kenny Atkinson opted to ease the sharpshooting wing back in a bench role. The 28-year-old entered the contest with a restriction of about 20 minutes and provided the Cavaliers with some quality perimeter shooting during his time on the court. He'll likely be operating under a minutes cap once again in the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday versus the 76ers, if he even plays at all. Once he gets fully ramped up, Strus could be a candidate to move into the starting five in place of Isaac Okoro, who recently suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder and is likely to miss at least two weeks. Dean Wade replaced Okoro on the top unit Friday, but over the long haul, the Cavaliers may prefer to have the superior floor-spacing option in Strus playing alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Strus is coming off the bench and will be limited to around 20 minutes of action in Friday's game versus the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strus is available to make his season debut Friday but will not receive a full workload, as expected. Strus started in all 70 of his appearances for Cleveland last season, so fantasy managers can expect him to reclaim his starting role once he works his way fully back into game shape.

Strus (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strus has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the first 27 games of the season due to a right ankle sprain. While it's unclear if Strus will enter the starting lineup, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.

Strus (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Strus could make his season debut Friday after missing the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign with a right ankle sprain. If Strus is upgraded to available, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.

Strus (ankle) was a full go at Wednesday's practice, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strus appears to be on track to make his season debut Friday against the Bucks, but his official status won't be known until the Cavaliers release their injury report Thursday afternoon. Strus is someone who fantasy managers need to watch closely for those in need of a boost in three-pointers.
