Merrill is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors due to left ankle soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill is in danger of missing his first game of the season Friday after being a late addition to the injury report with left ankle soreness. If Merrill is ultimately ruled out against Golden State, Ty Jerome, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Merrill posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill led the bench in points while scoring in double figures for the second straight matchup. The sharpshooter struggled from beyond the arc Monday, though he has still shot 39.0 percent from deep this season. Merrill remains a dangerous option from three-point range for the Cavaliers, though his fantasy value is capped due to the talent around him and his role as a catch-and-shoot specialist.

Merrill posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill is an accurate three-point specialist and made his presence known off the bench. His fantasy production is almost entirely dependent on his success beyond the arc, which limits his viability. He's a borderline candidate in category leagues if you need help in that category.

Merrill notched 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill started the season 1-for-7 from deep through two games but made a trio of three-pointers Saturday. The sharpshooter has a consistent backup role in Cleveland, but his fantasy upside is directly correlated to how well he's shooting from deep.

Merrill (wrist) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Merrill is cleared to suit up after missing the Cavaliers' preseason finale. The sharpshooter made 61 regular-season appearances for the Cavaliers last season, averaging 2.3 made three-pointers across 17.5 minutes per game.

Merrill (wrist) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Bulls but is expected to be available for the regular-season opener against the Raptors next Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill is in a similar situation to Max Strus (hip), as both players have missed the last two preseason games. However, based on recent reports, both are expected to be available for the regular-season opener on Oct. 23. Merrill has participated in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, so he's trending closer to being fully available. Even when that happens, Merrill shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside since he'll be nothing more than a depth option on the Cavaliers' bench.

Merrill (wrist) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Pistons, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill has been sidelined since Thursday's preseason game versus the Pacers. He wasn't able to practice over the weekend, but he was spotted getting some work in at Tuesday's practice with some tape on his wrist. He's considered day-to-day with his next chance to play being Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls.

Merrill (wrist) did not practice Sunday and is considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Pistons, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was unable to suit up during Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers due to wrist soreness. The club is expected to remain overly cautious with the 28-year-old during the preseason, though there is no indication that he will miss time in the regular season.

Merrill is out for Thursday's preseason game versus the Pacers due to wrist soreness, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is no indication that Merrill is in danger of missing any regular-season action, but his wrist soreness will hold him out of Thursday's contest. Merrill's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's preseason matchup with Detroit.

Merrill notched zero points (0-1 FG) across 11 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill missed his only shot attempt, failing to have an impact once again. Although he did have a couple of bright spots throughout the season, Merrill has been a non-factor in the playoffs.
