Cavaliers' Dean Wade drawing start Monday for Lauri Markkanen (ankle)
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Dean Wade is in the starting lineup on Monday versus the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Lauri Markkanen could be dealing with a long-term ankle injury, so Wade might stick in the starting lineup beyond Monday night. Jarrett Allen (illness) is also out Monday, leaving the Cavaliers without two starters. Wade, Kevin Love, Cedi Osman, and Evan Mobley are all in line for larger roles.
umberFire'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 fifth-best point-per-dollar value on the four-game slate. Love is first, followed by Osman and Mobley, respectively.
