Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Balanced outing in return to lineup
Merrill closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 128-107 victory over the Timberwolves.
Merrill returned Monday after missing Cleveland's previous contest due to personal reasons, putting forth a balanced outing while leading all bench players in rebounds and steals to go along with finishing one point short of the double-digit mark. Merrill matched a season-high mark in rebounds while posting his 16th outing with nine or more points.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Out for personal reasons
Merrill (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Merrill won't play Friday for personal reasons, and his next chance to suit up for the Cavaliers arrives Monday against Minnesota. Isaac Okoro (shoulder) is also out, and it's unclear if De'Andre Hunter will be able to join the team in time for Friday's action. With Caris LeVert having been traded, Max Strus and Ty Jerome could be needed to handle heavy minutes against Washington.

Merrill had 27 points (9-14 FG, 9-13 3Pt) and one rebound across 23 minutes during Sunday's 144-101 victory over the Mavericks.
Merrill shined offensively Sunday while coming off the Cleveland bench, leading all players in scoring and threes made while setting new season-high marks in both categories. Merrill previously held season highs of six threes made and 20 points, but he was red-hot in a blowout win to put together his best outing of the year.

Merrill (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Merrill (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Scores 10 points
Merrill notched 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 118-92 win over Phoenix.
Caris LeVert (wrist), Isaac Okoro (shoulder) and Evan Mobley (calf) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Merrill to step into a larger role. Despite a strong showing Monday, fantasy managers shouldn't overreact just yet. Merrill is hitting 37.3 percent from the field this season with averages of 6.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.7 three-pointers.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Comes up empty from distance
Merrill (ankle) finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 13 minutes in Thursday's 132-126 win over the Raptors.
Cleveland held out star guard Donovan Mitchell for rest purposes in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the return of Merrill from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain helped restore some depth in the backcourt. The Cavaliers didn't turn to Merrill to absorb most of Mitchell's vacated playing time, as Caris LeVert (36 minutes) and Ty Jerome (20 minutes) were instead bigger beneficiaries. Assuming Mitchell is back in action for Sunday's game against the Pacers, minutes will likely be more difficult to come by for Cleveland's reserve guards and wings, and Merrill could even find himself outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation.
