Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Jerome (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Jerome is in jeopardy of sitting out against Toronto due to right calf soreness. Since Wednesday marks Cleveland's final outing prior to the All-Star break, the team could opt to exercise caution with the sharpshooter. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter would likely pick up extra minutes if Jerome can't play.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Stays hot in win
Rotowire
Jerome dropped 20 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.
Jerome once again paced the second unit as both a scorer and playmaker with his second straight game logging 20 points and six or more assists. He's been particularly impressive of late, now averaging 18.8 points and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 59.7 percent from the field over his last five outings. Although he's certainly benefitting from Caris LeVert's (wrist) injury, it's possible that Jerome has done enough over the past week to command a larger role in head coach Kenny Atkinson's offense even once LeVert, who's currently listed as day-to-day, returns.

In that five-game span, he has averaged 18.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting 45.2 percent from downtown in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Explodes for career-high 33 points
Rotowire
Jerome closed Friday's 132-129 loss to the 76ers with 33 points (11-14 FG, 8-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Jerome went off from Cleveland's second unit Friday, pouring in a career-high 33 points while scorching the nets from deep in the absence of sixth man Caris LeVert (wrist).

The 27-year-old sharpshooter will likely cool down at some point, but he's worth streaming in fantasy leagues while he's hot and LeVert remains sidelined.

Rotowire
Jerome (illness) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Thunder, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Jerome missed the last two games for the Cavaliers while dealing with an illness. The 27-year-old guard will be a welcome addition back to the lineup for Cleveland, as he has played well off the bench this season, averaging 10.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 49.8 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from deep.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Questionable with illness
Rotowire
Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Jerome is at risk of missing his third straight game with an illness, but he'll presumably see how he feels Thursday before the Cavaliers update his status. Should the 27-year-old sharpshooter sit out another contest, veteran swingman Caris LeVert should continue operating as Cleveland's clear-cut sixth man off the bench against Oklahoma City.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Due to a lingering illness, Jerome will remain on the shelf for a second consecutive contest. The 27-year-old has averaged 17.6 minutes per contest over 36 regular-season appearances (two starts), and Sam Merrill should see an uptick in playing time with Jerome sidelined. The guard's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Thunder.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Jerome is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.
Jerome has been a reliable option off the bench for the Cavaliers backcourt, but he's in danger of missing a game for the first time since Dec. 3. Jerome is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over his last 10 games. The doubtful tag suggests he's very unlikely to suit up Sunday.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Feeling ill, could sit Tuesday
Rotowire
Jerome is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington with an illness.
Jerome is under the weather after he played 11 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 loss to the Celtics. Though the 11 minutes represented his least playing time in any of the past 14 games, Jerome's reduction in minutes likely had less to do with him being limited by the illness than it did Caris LeVert getting a bigger workload following a recent multi-game injury-related absence. If Jerome isn't able to play Tuesday, a spot in the rotation could reopen for second-year guard Craig Porter.
