Dean Wade expected to start Monday for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Dean Wade is expected to start on Monday versus the New York Knicks, per Cavaliers reporter Evan Dammarell.
What It Means:
Lauri Markkanen (ankle) is out and Jarrett Allen (illness) is questionable, so Wade may be asked to play heavy minutes on Monday night. Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that the team will play more "traditional lineups" due to Markkanen's ankle injury, likely meaning more minutes for Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman.
numberFire's models project Wade for 25.0 minutes and 18.4 FanDuel points, and he has a $3,600 salary. Among active PF-eligible players on Monday, Wade is our third-best point-per-dollar value on the four-game slate.
