Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Schroder (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Raptors.
Schroder will return to action for the start of the playoffs after sitting out Cleveland's regular-season finale. The veteran point guard averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per contest across five regular-season outings (one start) in April.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
The 32-year-old guard will skip Cleveland's regular-season finale, but he'll be back for the playoffs. James Harden (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also sit out Sunday's game, so Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter will likely see significant minutes.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Back to bench role
Rotowire
Schroder is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Schroder produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies, but he'll return to the bench role now that both Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) are available. Schroder is averaging 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last five outings off the bench, so his fantasy appeal drops considerably if he doesn't start.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Double-double in Monday's start
Rotowire
Schroder produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Back in the starting five for the first time since Feb. 27 while James Harden (personal) is away from the team, Schroder delivered his third double-double of the season, and his first since Dec. 21. The veteran guard hasn't had much of a role of late with the second unit. Schroder had scored in double digits only once in his prior 15 games while averaging fewer than 20 minutes a contest. As long as Harden and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) are unavailable, however, Schroder should have fantasy utility thanks to elevated usage.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Starting versus Grizzlies
Rotowire
Schroder will start Monday's game against Memphis.
With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and James Harden (personal) ruled out, Schroder will start in Monday's meeting with Memphis. The 32-year-old has started 16 times between stints with the Kings and Cavaliers this season, averaging 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.1 steals across 30.6 minutes in those appearances.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Limited role continues
Rotowire
Schroder notched three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.
Schroder, while still providing Cleveland with a solid backup, continues to offer very little during his limited time on the floor. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 5.9 points and 3.8 assists in 20.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top-300 players in standard leagues.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Limited to reserve role
Rotowire
Schroder finished Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 16 minutes.
With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell both healthy in the Cavaliers' backcourt, Schroder's fantasy appeal remains muted. The veteran guard has scored in single figures in nine consecutive games (no starts), during which Schroder has averaged 4.6 points, 3.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Muted effort in win
Rotowire
Schroder ended with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the 76ers.
Schroder scored fewer than five points for the second straight game, playing a modest role for his new team. In 14 games since joining the Cavaliers, Schroder has served as a backup guard, only playing meaningful minutes when others ahead of him are on the sideline. As a player who has been outside the top 200 for the entire season, managers should view him as nothing more than a streaming option, but only when he plays an elevated role.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder won't start against the Nets on Sunday.
With James Harden (thumb) back in action following a two-game absence, Schroder will retreat to the second unit. Over eight appearances off the bench for Cleveland, the veteran guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 20.3 minutes per tilt.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Nears double-double vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Schroder notched 12 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 122-119 overtime loss to Detroit.
Schroder was initially tagged as questionable for Friday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but the veteran point guard was cleared to play and was in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game due to the absences of James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin). Schroder didn't have an efficient night from the field but got his teammates involved with nine assists, falling one dime shy from logging his third double-double of the season (and first since Dec. 21 against the Rockets as a member of the Kings). He would likely start against the Nets on Sunday if one or both of Harden and Mitchell were unable to play.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Available Friday
Rotowire
Schroder (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.
The Cavaliers are without Donovan Mitchell (groin) and James Harden (thumb) on Friday, which should lead to a spot start for Schroder. The veteran point guard has started 15 games in 2025-26 across his time with Cleveland and Sacramento, averaging 12.9 points, 5.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.1 minutes per tilt over this span.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Schroder is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons with a right ankle sprain.
The Cavaliers are upgrading Schroder from questionable to probable Friday. The veteran guard should see a rise in playmaking duties in the absence of Donovan Mitchell (groin), as Schroder made his first start since joining Cleveland during Wednesday's loss in Milwaukee.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Schroder is questionable for Friday's game in Detroit due to a sprained right ankle.
Donovan Mitchell (groin) has already been ruled out, and James Harden (thumb) is questionable, so the Cavs could be very thin at the point guard position Friday evening. If both Harden and Schroder are out, Craig Porter would likely get a spot start, and he'd make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Impresses in spot start
Rotowire
Schroder posted 26 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.
Schroder saw his name penciled into the starting five Wednesday night with James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) sidelined, and he didn't disappoint. Schroder gave the Cavs a fighting chance, combining with Jarrett Allen to pour in 53 of his team's 116 points. This is just one point shy of his best outing of the season, when he dropped 27 points Jan. 29 while with the Kings. Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in eight games off the bench since being dealt to Cleveland, so his production figures to take a large hit when Harden and Mitchell are cleared to return, which could arrive as soon as Friday in Detroit.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Sees 22 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Schroder accumulated 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.
Both Schroder and Keon Ellis have secured decent roles off the bench, but neither player has standard-league fantasy appeal as long as James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are upright. Through seven appearances with Cleveland, Schroder has averaged 8.7 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes across seven contests.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Limited off bench again
Rotowire
Schroder produced seven points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 victory over the Wizards.
Schroder continues to serve as a backup option, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the third time in the past four games since arriving in Cleveland. Even in starter-level minutes, Schroder has never really been a consistent fantasy asset. Given his current role, he is far from a must-roster player, outside of deeper formats.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Set for Wednesday debut
Rotowire
Schroder isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Schroder appears ready for his Cleveland debut after being traded by the Kings on Saturday. It remains to be seen how large of a role he'll take on with his new squad, especially with James Harden (personal) uncertain to play Wednesday after being acquired by the Cavaliers on Tuesday in exchange for Darius Garland (toe) and a second-round pick.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Won't make team debut Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder (recently traded) is expected to meet the Cavaliers in Los Angeles for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Schroder, who was traded from the Kings to the Cavaliers on Saturday, is expected to join the team at the next stop of its road trip, putting him on track to make his franchise debut Wednesday against the Clippers. In 40 games (14 starts) with Sacramento this season, the veteran guard averaged 12.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from three. Schroder projects as a long-term reserve for Cleveland but could receive short-term starting consideration until Darius Garland (toe) returns.

Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Traded to Cleveland
Rotowire
Schroder was traded to Cleveland from Sacramento along with Keon Ellis in exchange for De'Andre Hunter on Saturday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Cavaliers have been looking to bolster their backcourt depth due to Darius Garland (foot) struggling to stay healthy. And given Lonzo Ball's struggles this season, Schroder figures to step into a sizable role right away. Until Garland gets the green light to return, Schroder could log some fill-in starts as well. When he was with the Kings, Schroder lost his starting job to Russell Westbrook and produced averages of 12.8 points and 5.3 assists in 26.4 minutes per contest. With this trade pending, it's not clear when Schroder will debut for his new team.

Kings' Dennis Schroder: Season-high 27 points in spot start
Rotowire
Schroder posted 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during the Kings' 113-111 loss to the 76ers on Thursday.
Schroder got the start Thursday in the absence of Russell Westbrook (foot), and the former responded by recording a season high in points. It was Schroder's eighth 20-plus point performance of the season, and he could remain in the starting lineup for the second leg of the Kings' back-to-back set Friday against the Celtics if Westbrook is not cleared to play. Schroder has averaged 16.6 points, 4.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 threes over 26.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.
