Max Strus (knee) still sidelined for Cavaliers Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (knee) has been ruled out again for Monday's game versus the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Strus, Donovan Mitchell (knee), and Dean Wade (personal) will all remain out for the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back. That leaves more work available for Isaac Okoro, Sam Merrill, and Craig Porter.
Okoro scored 22.3 FanDuel points in 29.9 minutes against the Nets on Sunday, while Porter had 19.4 FanDuel points in 24.6 minutes. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Cavs' implied total (107.0) is third-worst out of 12 teams on the Main slate Monday.
