Merrill will start Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was deployed off the bench Thursday against Golden State and then sat out Sunday's clash against the Pacers due to a minor hamstring issue. However, he'll be inserted into the starting lineup Monday with James Harden (personal), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), Dean Wade (ankle) and Max Strus (foot) all sidelined. Merrill is averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his last five appearances as a starter.

Merrill (hamstring) will play Monday against Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill will be back in action after sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set Sunday. With James Harden (personal) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) out, Merrill is in line to see plenty of touches Monday.

Merrill (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill has been dealing with a left hamstring injury of late. Although he managed to suit up for Thursday's 118-111 win over the Warriors, he will take the night off versus Indiana before likely returning Monday in Memphis. Without Merrill in the rotation, Keon Ellis should see more work from off the bench.

Merrill (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill will return to action Thursday after sitting out Tuesday's game against the Lakers for hamstring maintenance. The 29-year-old sharpshooter is expected to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, which will likely send Max Strus back to a reserve role. Merrill failed to connect on a three-pointer in his last outing Monday but had scored in double digits in his previous seven contests, and he will look to bounce back Thursday.

Merrill (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill's absence will be maintenance-related Tuesday, giving him a good chance of returning Thursday against the Warriors. Keon Ellis should step into the starting lineup versus the Lakers and see a sizable boost in playing time.

Merrill chipped in nine points (4-14 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill failed to land a single three-pointer for the first time in his past eight games, resulting in a sub-par fantasy line. As a player whose overall value is built around his ability to drain the long ball, nights such as this highlight the fact that he should be considered for streaming purposes only.

Merrill finished with 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 136-131 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill scored at least 13 points for the fifth straight game, during which time he has been a top-50 player in standard fantasy formats, averaging 15.4 points and 2.6 three-pointers, shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the line. However, his overall appeal remains relatively limited, making him more of a streaming option than a must-roster player.

Merrill ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

The 10 boards were a season high for Merrill, who also came away with his first double-double of the year Saturday. The 29-year-old sharpshooter has started 10 games in a row for the Cavaliers, during which Merrill has averaged 12.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Merrill closed Thursday's 115-110 victory over the Bulls with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The sharpshooter put together a solid showing in the absence of Donovan Mitchell (eye). Merrill has been a little underwhelming of late, posting averages of 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest while shooting just 27.3 percent from downtown over his last five outings.

Merrill notched 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill is expected to have a secondary role on offense in most games, but he was remarkably efficient in this win and was one of four Cleveland players who scored at least 17 points. Merrill was making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but since Jarrett Allen (knee) remains sidelined, Merrill has kept his place in the starting unit. The six-year veteran has started in each of his last eight appearances while averaging 11.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 33.9 percent from deep.
