Tyson recorded 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 loss to the Warriors.
Tyson got the starting nod for a fifth consecutive contest with several of Cleveland's key contributors remaining on the shelf. While the second-year swingman struggled from beyond the arc, he still scored in double figures for a fifth straight game. Additionally, he grabbed 11 boards, securing his second double-double on the campaign, both of which have come in his last four outings. He has also been efficient from the field of late, shooting 56.7 percent from the floor over his last five games.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Goes for 24 points in win
Rotowire
Tyson amassed 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 130-117 victory over the Spurs.
Tyson continues to play out of his skin, scoring at least 24 points for the second time in the past three games. As long as the Cavaliers are dealing with at least one injury, it appears as though Tyson will be the beneficiary, much like Ty Jerome last season. In seven games over the past two weeks, Tyson has been a top-60 player, averaging 16.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He is worth rostering in all formats, at least until the roster is healthy.
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.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Full stat line in start
Rotowire
Tyson posted 17 points (6-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics.
Tyson made his 11th start of the season, stuffing the stat sheet while tying a season high in triples. The 2024 first-rounder has been a revelation thus far in 2025-26, and he's been particularly valuable in nine-category formats for his efficiency and low turnover rate. Across his 11 starts, Tyson has averaged 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers per game while shooting 54.8 percent from the field.

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.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Upgraded to available

Tyson (concussion) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Tyson was expected to be upgraded to available based on Kenny Atkinson's words earlier Friday, and the wing will make his first appearance since Nov. 12. He's going to have a minutes restriction and is likely to be held to under 30 minutes, a scenario that limits his fantasy upside.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Scores nine points with nine boards
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.

Rotowire
Tyson racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 victory over Atlanta.
That's now three consecutive games (all starts) with at least 18 points for Tyson. The swingman holds some short-term fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, but Darius Garland (toe) doesn't appear to be far off from making his season debut. That said, Tyson has averaged 13.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest in his five games as a starter this season.

With Sam Merrill (hip) sidelined, Tyson got the starting nod for a second consecutive game. The second-year swingman finished as the team's third-leading scorer and was one of three Cleveland players to reach double figures. He also led all players in blocks. After recording single-digit points in each of the Cavaliers' first four games, Tyson has scored at least 18 in back-to-back outings. He's averaging 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest across six regular-season outings (four starts).
