Tyson tallied 27 points (10-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during the Cavaliers' 135-119 win over the Pacers on Monday.
Tyson was the leading rebounder during Monday's game and finished as the Cavaliers' second-leading scorer, as he served as the perfect complement to Donovan Mitchell (43 points). Tyson's performance also marked his first double-double of his young career, and he could remain in Cleveland's starting lineup Wednesday against the Trail Blazers if one or both of Jarrett Allen (finger) and Darius Garland (rest) are not cleared to play. As a starter, Tyson is averaging 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks over 27.9 minutes per game.

Rotowire

Tyson made his 11th start of the season, stuffing the stat sheet while tying a season high in triples.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Sniffs double-double in loss
Rotowire
Tyson provided 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 110-99 loss to the Raptors.
Tyson recorded his third straight start since his five-game absence due to a concussion and got right back on track, stuffing the stat sheet and shooting efficiently from the field. He also recorded a season high in minutes, but this was likely due to the absences of De'Andre Hunter (rest), Sam Merrill (hand), Dean Wade (knee) and Jarrett Allen (finger). Once Cleveland gets healthier, Tyson will likely revert to the bench, but his strong performances have made a case for him to remain a key part of the rotation.

Rotowire
Tyson notched nine points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 31 minutes during Monday's 140-138 overtime loss to the Heat.
Darius Garland exited Monday's game after aggravating his surgically repaired toe, so he could be looking at another long-term absence. Tyson entered the game after Garland went down and was in the closing lineup through the overtime period, so he could find himself starting again Wednesday if Garland can't give it a go. Through seven starts this season, Tyson has registered averages of 13.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.7 triples, 1.4 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.3 turnovers per contest.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Loaded stat line Saturday
Rotowire
Tyson contributed 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-122 win over Chicago.
Donovan Mitchell and De'Andre Hunter led the way in scoring for the Cavaliers with 29 points each, and Tyson made a significant contribution to the win thanks to an impressive stat line. He recorded at least two tallies in each of the six major categories and once again put his two-way ability on full display. The forward got off to a slow start this season but has been playing much better of late. This was his sixth consecutive game scoring in double digits, and he has surpassed the 15-point mark four times over that stretch. As if that wasn't enough, his seven rebounds were also a season-high output for Tyson in that category.
