ANALYSIS

Nov 30, 2025
Probable for Monday
LeVert (knee) is probable to play Monday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday with some knee soreness, but he should be back in the mix Monday, which could mean fewer minutes for Daniss Jenkins and Ronald Holland. Check back for official word on LeVert's status closer to Monday's tip.
Nov 29, 2025
Ruled out Saturday
LeVert (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his sixth game of the season while dealing with right knee soreness, and it's clear the Pistons don't want to take any risks with a key bench player. LeVert is averaging 9.6 points, 3.0 assists and 1.6 boards per game off the bench this season. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday.
Nov 29, 2025
May not play Saturday
LeVert is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been in a sixth-man role for the Pistons, and an absence would open up about 20-25 minutes in the rotation. If LeVert is sidelined, Jaden Ivey, Daniss Jenkins and Ronald Holland could step in.
Nov 24, 2025
Nets 19 points in win
LeVert provided 19 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 122-117 win over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had been quiet in his previous two outings, combining for a total of 13 points, but he was able to get things back on track Monday evening against a lackluster Pacers' defense. LeVert is a capable scorer and playmaker, but his minutes have been too inconsistent this season for him to make a meaningful impact in fantasy leagues.
Nov 24, 2025
Available Monday
LeVert (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been managing left foot soreness but will shed his probable tag and suit up Monday. The veteran shooting guard has had a steady role as a capable scoring threat off the bench this season, averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds on 49.3 percent shooting from the field and 39.4 percent from deep in 19.2 minutes across 11 appearances.
Nov 23, 2025
Likely to play Monday
LeVert is probable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to left foot soreness.
ANALYSIS

Nov 21, 2025
Removed from injury report
LeVert (ankle) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The veteran swingman missed Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a left ankle sprain, with the contest being the second part of a back-to-back for the Pistons. Jaden Ivey (knee) is nearing his season debut, meaning LeVert should soon have more competition for minutes in the backcourt. For the campaign so far, LeVert has averaged 9.4 points, 3.5 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes per tilt across 10 games.
Nov 18, 2025
Sitting out vs. Hawks
LeVert (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday is the second half of Detroit's back-to-back, so it's not surprising that the veteran swingman is getting the night off. The expectation is that LeVert will be back in the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Bucks. The red-hot Daniss Jenkins has a clearer pathway to minutes Tuesday, while Chaz Lanier should maintain a spot in the rotation.
Nov 17, 2025
Hands out eight dimes in win
LeVert compiled eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and three turnovers across 17 minutes during Monday's 127-112 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was scoreless through the first half of action, going 0-for-3 from the floor and 0-for-2 from distance, but his shot started falling for him after halftime. Over the past three games with Cade Cunningham (hip) sidelined, LeVert has gone stretches operating as Detroit's primary playmaker, posting averages of 13.0 points and 6.3 assists a night.
Nov 11, 2025
Off report, will play Wednesday
LeVert (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Monday's game against the Wizards on Monday, but he'll return to the rotation for Wednesday's contest and should see his regular minutes off the bench. LeVert is averaging 7.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 19.4 minutes per game this season.
Nov 10, 2025
Won't play Monday
LeVert (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will catch a breather following Sunday's game against Philadelphia. The veteran swingman figures to return for Wednesday's game against Chicago. The injury-riddled Pistons are likely to turn to Duncan Robinson and Ronald Holland for extra minutes, and Bobi Klintman is an option to crack the rotation.
Nov 10, 2025
Questionable vs. Wizards
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is in danger of getting the night off for the second part of Philadelphia's back-to-back set. Duncan Robinson would likely handle even more playing time if LeVert sits out, and Bobi Klintman could also enter the rotation in this case.
Nov 9, 2025
Good to go Sunday
LeVert (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert, who had been listed as probable with left knee soreness, has been cleared and will play Sunday. The guard has reached double figures in back-to-back outings after being limited to single digit scoring in each of his first four appearances to open the season.

Nov 7, 2025
Available to play Friday
LeVert (knee) will be available to play Friday against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Nov 6, 2025
Dealing with knee problem
LeVert is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
It remains to be seen if LeVert will suit up for Friday's contest due to his knee soreness, and a decision will be made closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. LeVert is averaging 6.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in five outings off the bench for the Pistons this season.
Nov 6, 2025
Reaches double digits in scoring
LeVert ended Wednesday's 114-103 victory over the Jazz with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to be an essential piece for Detroit off the bench, as he led the second unit in scoring. The Pistons are 4-0 since LeVert returned from his hamstring injury, and he is averaging 5.8 points, 1.8 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in that span.
Oct 30, 2025
Underwhelming output in return
LeVert (hamstring) finished with four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists and one rebound across 16 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 135-116 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
In his return from a three-game absence due to a left hamstring injury, LeVert was the first player off the Detroit bench. Though LeVert finished fifth in the Pistons in usage rate (18.6 percent) and was a plus-6 during his time on the court, it didn't translate in his box-score line. Expect LeVert to continue to maintain a regular role on the second unit as a scorer and secondary creator, but his playing time could fluctuate based on how hot or cold his shooting is in a given game.
Oct 29, 2025
Will play vs. Orlando
LeVert (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After missing three straight games due to a hamstring injury, LeVert will make his return to the floor. In the one game he's played this season, he finished with eight points, one rebound, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes against the Bulls on Oct. 22.
Oct 28, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
LeVert (hamstring) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last three games due to a hamstring issue. He's played only one game this season, but appears to be trending toward getting back on the floor. If he's unable to play for a fourth straight game, the team will likely lean on Duncan Robinson and Ronald Holland.
Oct 27, 2025
Out again Monday
LeVert (hamstring) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
This will mark LeVert's third straight game on the shelf, which should continue to result in some extended minutes for Ronald Holland and Duncan Robinson. LeVert's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Magic.
Oct 27, 2025
Questionable for Monday
LeVert (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS

Oct 26, 2025
Ruled out Sunday
LeVert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS

Oct 25, 2025
Doubtful for Sunday
LeVert (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is trending toward missing a second straight game due to a hamstring injury. If he's ruled out Sunday, Ronald Holland, Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green will likely see a boost in minutes.
Oct 24, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
LeVert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Houston.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is dealing with tightness in his hamstring, so the Pistons will exercise some caution here and hold him out, which should open up minutes for Ronald Holland, Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green. With Detroit's next two games coming as a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, there's a chance LeVert will need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines.
Oct 24, 2025
Downgraded to questionable
LeVert (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was initially listed as probable with knee soreness, so it's unclear if he perhaps experienced a setback during Friday's morning shootaround. If the veteran swingman is ultimately unable to go, Ronald Holland would have even more streaming appeal against Houston.
Oct 23, 2025
Expected to play Friday
LeVert is probable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was also listed as probable for Wednesday's season opener against Chicago and was ultimately cleared to play. It's fair to expect the same result Friday, barring any last-minute setbacks.

Oct 21, 2025
Likely to play Wednesday
LeVert is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is dealing with right knee soreness but is likely to suit up in the Pistons' regular-season opener. The 31-year-old guard is expected to provide a spark off the bench this season and may see a bump in playing time with Marcus Sasser (hip) doubtful to play Wednesday. LeVert appeared in 64 regular-season games (three starts) between the Hawks and Cavs in 2024-25, during which he averaged 12.1 points, 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 24.9 minutes per game.

ANALYSIS

Oct 15, 2025
Misses another exhibition

Oct 10, 2025
Sits out Thursday
LeVert (coach's decision) did not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS

LeVert played 17 minutes in the preseason opener on Oct. 6 with two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and one assist in 18 minutes. He's expected to be a big part of the second unit along with Duncan Robinson, although Ron Holland could chip away at his minutes.
Jun 30, 2025
Completes move to Detroit
LeVert agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal with the Pistons on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will add versatility and positional flexibility to the Pistons' roster, as he can play as a guard or forward depending on the lineup combinations. The veteran suited up for the Cavaliers and Hawks during the 2024-25 regular season but was at his best with Atlanta, averaging 14.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 26.6 minutes across 26 regular-season appearances for the Hawks.
Apr 14, 2025
Off report for Play-In Game

LeVert and the rest of Atlanta's regulars should be back in action for Play-In Tournament matchup against Orlando on Tuesday.
Apr 12, 2025
Could sit out Sunday
LeVert is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Magic due to right knee injury management.
ANALYSIS
With the Hawks already locked into a Play-In spot, LeVert could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale. If LeVert is ultimately downgraded to out, Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Apr 6, 2025
Paces second unit in win
LeVert supplied 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
LeVert provided 20-plus points for the first time since March 8, leading Atlanta's second unit in Sunday's high-scoring affair. The 30-year-old guard has recorded at least 20 points in six of his 23 games since being traded to Atlanta on Feb. 6. LeVert also logged three triples for the first time since March 12, and entering Sunday's contest, he had averaged 4.8 three-point attempts per game while shooting only 21.1 percent from beyond the arc in his last eight games.
Mar 30, 2025
Available to play Sunday
LeVert (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Mar 30, 2025
Dealing with illness
LeVert is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a late addition to the injury report and may be sidelined Sunday. If that's the case, his next chance to suit up will come Tuesay against Portland, while Terance Mann and Garrison Mathews would be candidates for increased roles. LeVert has scored in double figures in only two of his past four appearances, averaging 25 minutes per game during that stretch.
Mar 26, 2025
Held in check
LeVert had five points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert got off to a hot start in March, but now he's in a mini slump. Over his last two games, LeVert has hit a combined 5-of-20 from the field and 2-of-10 from beyond the arc. LeVert isn't known for his peripheral stats, so if his shot isn't falling, he's hard to rely on in fantasy formats.
Mar 22, 2025
Puts up 14 points in return
LeVert (knee) tallied 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds across 24 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 124-115 win over the Warriors.

Good to go against Golden State

Likely to suit up vs. Warriors
LeVert (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against Golden State, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Mar 12, 2025

Mar 10, 2025
Iffy for Monday

ANALYSIS
Levert was a late addition to the injury report which is a concern for his fantasy managers.

Feb 28, 2025
Chips in 23 points off bench Friday

ANALYSIS
LeVert had his best scoring output as a Hawk on Friday and finished as the team's co-leader in points with Onyeka Okongwu. Since being traded from the Cavaliers to the Hawks in early February, LeVert has averaged 15.3 points on 48.4 percent shooting, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals over 27.8 minutes per game.

ANALYSIS
LeVert has played off the bench in his three outings with the Hawks since being traded in the deal that sent De'Andre Hunter to the Cavaliers, and there's no question this outing was his best performance by a wide margin. It's still early, but LeVert averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game as a bench option since moving to Atlanta should boost his fantasy upside considerably.

Strong effort off bench Monday
LeVert tallied 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Monday's 112-106 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
LeVert finished Monday's game as the Hawks' second-leading scorer behind Trae Young (19), however the former was Atlanta's most efficient offensive player of the contest. LeVert will likely be the Hawks' top option off the bench following the departure of De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic at the trade deadline.
Feb 8, 2025
Making Hawks debut Saturday
LeVert (recently traded) has been cleared to play against the Wizards on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was traded by Cleveland to Atlanta on Wednesday, and the ninth-year guard will make his Hawks debut Saturday after sitting out of Friday's win against the Bucks. He mostly operated off the Cavaliers' bench and averaged 10.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 23.8 minutes per game prior to the trade. He's expected to have a similar role in Atlanta as a depth guard behind Trae Young (Achilles) and Dyson Daniels.
Feb 7, 2025
Ruled out Friday
LeVert (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was traded to the Hawks ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline and will not make his debut Friday for Atlanta. The next opportunity for the veteran guard to get on the floor for his new team will come Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back against the Wizards, the first game of a three-game road trip.
Feb 7, 2025
Questionable to debut Friday
LeVert (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was recently sent to Atlanta in the trade that brought De'Andre Hunter to Cleveland on Thursday, though one day may be too quick of a turnaround for LeVert to make his Hawks debut. LeVert played in three consecutive contests before the trade, following a seven-game absence due to a right wrist sprain, and in that three-game span (one start), he averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 assists in 20.3 minutes per game.
Feb 6, 2025
Traded to Atlanta
The Cavaliers traded LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks and two swaps for De'Andre Hunter on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had been in a brutal slump for Cleveland with two scoreless duds in a row. He's had a tough season overall, averaging 10.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals, and his minutes were trending in the wrong direction. LeVert could benefit from a change of scenery, and there are plenty of wing minutes up for grabs on an Atlanta roster that may not be done making moves.
Feb 5, 2025
Will start vs. Detroit
LeVert will get the start in Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will slide into the starting lineup for the Cavaliers on Wednesday, with star guard Donovan Mitchell (shoulder) ruled out for the game in Detroit. LeVert has started two games for Cleveland this season, averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
Feb 5, 2025
Unable to score
LeVert ended Tuesday's 112-105 loss to the Celtics with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
For the first time this campaign, LeVert was unable to find the bottom of the net. He's been ice cold for a while now and his workload has suffered as a result -- he's shooting 34.7 percent from the field over his last 10 games with an average of 24.0 minutes per contest.
Feb 2, 2025
Reaches double figures in return
LeVert closed with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 144-101 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert returned Sunday after missing seven straight games due to a right wrist sprain, getting some solid playing time off the bench due to the blowout nature of the game and finishing as one of eight Cavaliers in double figures in scoring. LeVert had provided a nice spark off the Cleveland bench prior to his injury, recording at least 10 points and five assists in nine contests.
Feb 2, 2025
Will play Sunday
LeVert (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jan 28, 2025

ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his sixth consecutive contest while he deals with a right wrist sprain, and his next opportunity to feature will come during the second leg of the team's back-to-back set in Thursday's game against Atlanta. With the 30-year-old guard still on the shelf, Sam Merrill and Ty Jerome are candidates for a slight bump in playing time off the bench.
Jan 26, 2025

Jan 23, 2025
Questionable for Friday
LeVert (wrist) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last two games for the Cavaliers and may be trending toward missing a third straight. If he can't play on the road in Friday's game in Philadelphia, Max Strus, Sam Merrill and Ty Jerome could get more time on the floor against the 76ers.
Jan 22, 2025
No-go Wednesday
LeVert (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a second consecutive game due to a sore right wrist. His absence should open up more opportunities for Ty Jerome and Max Strus. LeVert's next chance to play will come Friday at Philadelphia.
Jan 21, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
LeVert (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Suns due to right wrist soreness, and he remains uncertain for action Wednesday. With Evan Mobley (calf) already ruled out against Houston, role players like Ty Jerome, Max Strus and Georges Niang could all be asked to step up for the Cavaliers.
Jan 20, 2025
Won't play Monday
LeVert (wrist) won't play Monday against the Suns, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a late addition to the injury report and will be held out due to soreness, so he'll join Evan Mobley (calf) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) on the sidelines. With LeVert out, guys like Max Strus and Georges Niang could be more involved Monday.
Jan 20, 2025
Iffy for Monday
LeVert is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns with right wrist soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a very late addition to the injury report which is not a good sign. Evan Mobley (calf) is out again Monday, and it was LeVert who started in his place Saturday against Minnesota. He wasn't able to make a big impact, however, finishing with two points, four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes.
Jan 18, 2025
Moving to starting role
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers will be forced to tweak their lineup due to the absence of Evan Mobley (calf), and LeVert will move into the first unit as a result. This will be LeVert's second start of the season. In the previous one, a Jan. 9 matchup against the Raptors, he finished with 18 points, three rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes.
Jan 12, 2025
Retreats to bench
LeVert won't start Sunday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
After dropping 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and five assists in 36 minutes during a spot start in the absence of Donovan Mitchell, who was resting during the second night of a back-to-back set. LeVert will return to his usual bench role. As a reserve (30 games), LeVert has averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.7 minutes per game.
Jan 10, 2025
Scores 19 in spot start
LeVert chipped in 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) taking the second night of a back-to-back set off, LeVert made his first start of the season and scored his most points since Dec. 16. Since returning from a four-game absence at the end of November, LeVert has averaged 11.4 points, 3.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 23.9 minutes per game.
Jan 9, 2025
Starting sans Mitchell
LeVert will start in Thursday's matchup against Toronto, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) sidelined for the second leg of the club's back-to-back set, LeVert will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The 30-year-old has provided a fairly consistent spark off the bench for the Cavaliers thus far, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 22.8 minutes per contest.
Jan 4, 2025
Productive off bench Friday
LeVert provided 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 134-122 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The Cavs used a balanced attack to secure Friday's victory, as seven Cleveland players scored in double digits with LeVert leading the second unit. The veteran guard has had trouble finding consistent shot volume of late, but he's managed to drain at least one three-pointer in eight straight games, averaging 11.4 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 threes, 2.0 boards and 1.3 steals in 21.9 minutes a contest over that stretch while shooting 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.
Jan 1, 2025
Back-to-back poor performances
LeVert contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers might be red-hot right now, but the same can't be said for LeVert, who has struggled over the last two games. The veteran guard scored 12 points combined, shooting 4-for-13 from the field against the Warriors and Lakers.
Dec 24, 2024
Scores 11 points
LeVert logged 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Monday's 124-113 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With Max Strus healthy, LeVert won't have as much upside going forward. He's barely holding onto top-150 value in nine-category formats, so LeVert's fantasy managers in standard leagues may need to look at other options on the waiver wire.
Dec 17, 2024
Drops 19 off bench in win
LeVert posted 19 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 19 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-101 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The six made three-pointers were a season high for LeVert, who scored in double digits for the sixth time in seven December appearances. The veteran wing dealt with knee trouble to begin the season but he appears healthy now, averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals in 24.9 minutes a game on the month as the Cavs' primary shooting threat on the second unit.
Dec 5, 2024
Shines off bench in victory
LeVert amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 victory over Denver.
ANALYSIS
LeVert provided a big lift off of Cleveland bench in Thursday's victory, ending second on the team in threes made while finishing as one of four players with 20 or more points to go along with a team-high-tying assist mark. LeVert set a new season high mark from three Thursday, posting his second game of the season with at least 20 points.
Nov 29, 2024
Muted production in return
LeVert (knee) provided eight points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in 20 minutes off the bench in Friday's 117-101 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert typically assumes more offensive responsibility on the second unit, but he was more deferential in his return from a four-game absence due to a left knee injury. He took on a 14.4 percent usage rate Friday, well behind his season-long rate of 17.5 percent. LeVert could see his minutes and usage pick up slightly as he becomes further removed from the injury, but his upside in both areas will be somewhat capped while the Cavaliers have most of their key rotational players available with the exception of Max Strus (ankle), who could be ready to make his season debut as soon as some point during the upcoming week.
Nov 29, 2024
Active Friday
LeVert (knee) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is expected to return to game action after a four-game absence due to left knee injury management. The 30-year-old has delivered a solid season off the bench thus far, and in his last five outings he averaged 11.4 points, 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 46.3 percent from the field across 27.6 minutes per game.
Nov 28, 2024
Questionable for Friday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has a chance to return to game action following four straight absences due to left knee injury management. Over 13 appearances this season, LeVert has averaged 11.8 points, 4.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes per game.
Nov 26, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a fourth straight game due to left knee injury management. Dean Wade (ankle) and Max Strus (ankle) also remain sidelined, so Isaac Okoro, Ty Jerome, Sam Merrill and Georges Niang are candidates for solid roles again. LeVert's next chance to suit up will come Friday during a rematch against the Hawks in Atlanta.
Nov 23, 2024
Won't play against Toronto
LeVert is out for Sunday's game versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his third straight contest Sunday due to left knee inflammation. LeVert's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta.
Nov 23, 2024
Doesn't practice Saturday
LeVert (knee) was absent from Saturday's practice, Ethan Sands of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed Cleveland's last two outings due to left knee inflammation. While the Cavaliers have yet to release an official injury report, LeVert's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Sunday's matchup with Toronto.
Nov 20, 2024
Out again Wednesday
LeVert (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his second game in a row due to some inflammation in his left knee. Fortunately for Cleveland, they will have a few days off before their next game against the Raptors on Sunday. Craig Porter and Georges Niang could see extended minutes on the wings for the shorthanded Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Nov 19, 2024
Out Tuesday vs. BOS
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss Tuesday's contest due to left knee inflammation. The 30-year-old has played significant minutes off the bench for the Cavs this season, and with him sidelined the club will likely take an extended look at Ty Jerome and Georges Niang. LeVert's next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Pelicans.
Nov 18, 2024
Dealing with left knee inflammation
LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had missed two games earlier in the regular season due to right knee soreness, however he is now working through inflammation in his left knee. With LeVert, Sam Merrill (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) all working through injuries, the Cavs may have to go deep into their bench Tuesday, which gives Craig Porter, Ty Jerome and Georges Niang an opportunity to see more playing time.
Nov 14, 2024
Low-volume production Wednesday
LeVert ended Wednesday's 114-106 win over the 76ers with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was able to chip in across the board, albeit in small quantities. Despite playing a consistent role off the bench, LeVert's playing time has been a little underwhelming, resulting in modest production. He remains a key piece in the second unit but as long as the team is winning, it appears as though they are going to continue to limit LeVert's opportunities.
Nov 7, 2024
Productive off bench in return
LeVert ended with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 131-122 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
After missing the prior two games with a sore knee, LeVert returned with his best all-around performance of the season. The veteran wing is shooting a blistering 59.6 percent from the floor and 52.0 percent (13-for-25) from long range through his first seven contests while averaging 12.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.0 steals a game.
Nov 6, 2024
Available to face Pelicans
LeVert (knee) will play against the Pelicans on Wednesday, head coach Kenny Atkinson told Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is set to return after missing two games in a row due to right knee soreness. The veteran is expected to retain his role as an offensive weapon off the bench. He's averaging 12.0 points with 4.3 assists per game across six appearances this season.
Nov 5, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday while dealing with right knee soreness. If LeVert is unable to suit up yet again, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and Sam Merrill should continue to receive increased playing time.
Nov 4, 2024
Ruled out Monday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With LeVert and Dean Wade (illness) out, Isaac Okoro will start at small forward for the undefeated Cavaliers, while Sam Merrill, Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and Craig Porter are also candidates for increased roles off the bench. LeVert's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in New Orleans.
Nov 3, 2024
Iffy for Monday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was sidelined for Saturday's win over the Bucks, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he has a chance to return for Monday's rematch. He's scored in double figures in four of his first six appearances this season, averaging 12.0 points and 4.3 assists in 21.7 minutes per game.
Nov 2, 2024
Won't play Saturday
LeVert is out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
The severity of LeVert's knee injury is unclear, but it will force him to sit out the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back Saturday. In his absence, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro are candidates to receive increased playing time. LeVert's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Oct 26, 2024
Modest effort in victory
LeVert notched nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 113-101 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
LeVert salvaged a quiet night with four combined steals and blocks, continuing his modest start to the season. With Max Strus (ankle) slated to miss at least the next month, LeVert once again finds himself the beneficiary. We are yet to get a good read on what his role might look like on most nights but even so, he makes for a viable addition to most fantasy squads.
Oct 18, 2024
Coming off bench Friday
LeVert will play a reserve role in Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will come off the bench in favor of Dean Wade, as the Cavaliers experiment with more size in their starting unit. When the regular season kicks off Wednesday in Toronto, LeVert is expected to be the first depth backcourt option off the bench to spell either Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell.
Oct 16, 2024
Starting Wednesday
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game versus Detroit.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is joined by Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in Cleveland's starting frontcourt Wednesday. The trio is flanked by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland as Cleveland trots out its full rotation with the exceptions of Sam Merrill (wrist) and Max Strus (hip)
Oct 10, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Levert will sit out Thursday's preseason game versus the Pacers, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert hasn't suffered any injury but will sit out Thursday's contest alongside the Cavaliers' starters. LeVert is expected to be one of the team's primary bench options once again this season.
Oct 2, 2024
Going through camp
LeVert (knee) was able to practice Tuesday to open training camp.
ANALYSIS
LeVert aggravated a lingering knee injury during Game 5 against the Celtics to end his season. There's been no mention of his knee at camp, however, so he should be all systems go. During the 2023-24 regular season, LeVert compiled averages of 14.0 points, 5.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes across 68 appearances.
May 15, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) during Monday's Game 4 loss but aggravated a lingering knee injury and will join Mitchell and Jarrett Allen (ribs) on the sidelines Wednesday. Dean Wade will move into the starting lineup, which also features Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Max Strus and Evan Mobley. LeVert's season will be over if Cleveland doesn't win Wednesday in Boston.
May 14, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) on Monday night, posting a respectable stat line across 39 minutes, despite the loss. With the Cavaliers hoping to roar back from a 3-1 deficit, the questionable tag is likely just a precaution as LeVert deals with a lingering knee injury.
May 13, 2024
Nears 20 points in Game 4 start
LeVert ended with 19 points (9-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
LeVert got the starting nod with the Cavaliers playing without Jarrett Allen (ribs) and Donovan Mitchell (calf), providing a lift offensively while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. LeVert has been a key player coming off the bench for Cleveland this series, posting 15 or more points in three of the four games against Boston. If Mitchell is able to return for Game 5, look for LeVert to return to the second unit to be a spark off the bench. If Mitchell does miss Game 5, LeVert will be called upon again to step into the starting lineup.
May 13, 2024
Will start sans Mitchell
LeVert will start Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers, already playing without Jarrett Allen (ribs), also lost Donovan Mitchell (calf) for Game 4, so LeVert will get his first crack in the starting lineup during the postseason. Over the last two games against the Celtics, LeVert has averaged 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. Across 10 starts during the regular season, LeVert averaged 16.2 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 34.3 minutes.
May 9, 2024
Reaches 20 points off bench in win
LeVert ended with 21 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 win over the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
LeVert made the most of his time off the bench in Game 2, ending as one of three Cavaliers with 20 or more points while helping Cleveland claim a much-needed victory to even the series against Boston. LeVert didn't connect on a three but still ended tied for second on the team in scoring to go along with a half-dozen rebounds and a trio of assists. LeVert had a bounce-back game after recording just four points in Tuesday's Game 1, playing a big part in Cleveland being able to steal a game on the road as it now returns home to try and take a lead in the series.
May 1, 2024
Held to three points
LeVert posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 104-103 win over Orlando in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is in the midst of a tough series, and although the Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), the team opted to turn to Isaac Okoro and Marcus Morris rather than LeVert. Through five games, the guard is averaging just 7.2 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting.
Apr 28, 2024
Drops dud Saturday
LeVert finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's three-point shot failed him in Game 4, and he's now shooting just 23.5 percent from deep during the postseason. He should continue to operate as Cleveland's top bench option, but LeVert has scored in double figures just once through four postseason games after averaging 17.9 points on 54.3 percent shooting across his final seven regular-season appearances.
Apr 26, 2024
Solid outing in Game 3 loss
LeVert logged 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 loss to the Magic in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference's first round.
ANALYSIS
LeVert benefited from the game being a blowout to deliver a decent stat line, and it's worth noting he also logged more than 25 minutes off the bench for the first time in the series. LeVert should remain the Cavaliers' main scoring weapon off the bench, but on that role and given the heavy workload the starters tend to endure on a regular basis, his upside in DFS and playoff slates isn't very high. For what is worth, he's averaging 9.3 points per game while shooting 35.7 percent from the field in the series.
Apr 19, 2024
Not on injury report
LeVert (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed the Cavaliers' regular-season finale due to left knee soreness, but he'll be back in action as the team begins postseason play Saturday. Over six regular-season appearances in April, he averaged 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.7 minutes per game.
Apr 13, 2024
Out against Hornets
LeVert (knee) won't play against the Hornets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be held out due to soreness in his left knee, and it sounds like the Cavaliers are being cautious with the playoffs looming. Donovan Mitchell (knee) is also out, while Darius Garland (back) is doubtful.
Apr 11, 2024
Leads bench in scoring Wednesday
LeVert closed Wednesday's 110-98 win over Memphis with 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert retreated to the bench Wednesday with Donovan Mitchell returning from a one-game absence. LeVert still managed to get his looks on offense and extended his streak of double-digit scoring to six games. Over that span, he has averaged 18.2 points on 55.1 percent shooting, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals over 30.7 minutes per game.
Apr 10, 2024
Returns to bench
LeVert isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Donovan Mitchell will reclaim his starting spot from LeVert on Wednesday after missing Cleveland's previous contest due to left knee injury management. LeVert is averaging 14.4 points, 4.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.4 minutes across his last five outings coming off the bench.
Apr 8, 2024
Scores 18 points in start
LeVert finished Sunday's 120-118 loss to the Clippers with 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was inserted into the Cavs' starting lineup Sunday due to Donovan Mitchell sitting due to left knee injury management. LeVert was able to hit three threes for the first time since March 11 against the Suns, and he has scored in double digits in each of his last five games. LeVert should see extended playing time over Cleveland's last three regular season games if Mitchell continues to sit.
Apr 7, 2024
Will start Sunday
LeVert will start Sunday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (rest) out, LeVert will slide back into Cleveland's starting lineup. Across his previous nine starts this season, LeVert has averaged 16.0 points, 7.6 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 34.0 minutes per game.
Apr 6, 2024
Impresses off bench Saturday
LeVert had 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 116-97 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers struggled badly on the offensive end of the court, but LeVert made his presence felt despite coming off the bench after recording his 15th game with 20 or more points this season. LeVert will continue to have decent fantasy upside despite his bench role due to his scoring prowess. He's scored 15 or more points in three of his last four appearances.
Apr 3, 2024
Shifts back to bench
LeVert won't start Wednesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
LeVert drew the spot start last time out with Donovan Mitchell getting a night off. However, with Mitchell available, LeVert will retreat to his typical bench role. He should still see upwards of 30 minutes against Phoenix.
Apr 3, 2024
Leads team with 26 points
LeVert closed Tuesday's 129-113 victory over the Jazz with 26 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert drew the start in the backcourt as Donovan Mitchell (injury management) took the night off for the front end of a back-to-back. LeVert has been dealing with a wrist injury in recent days, but he logged a full game and his shooting stroke showed no ill effects. The Cavaliers will play another back-to-back set this weekend, and we may see Mitchell sit for one of the games.
Apr 2, 2024
Starting sans Mitchell
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will replace Donovan Mitchell (knee) in the starting five Tuesday. LeVert is averaging 12.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.2 minutes across his last five starting appearances.
Apr 1, 2024
Strong showing from second unit
LeVert racked up 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals in 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 130-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell back in action, LeVert returned to the second unit Wednesday, but he still produced a strong line in the box score against Denver and his four steals tied his season high. Through 14 games in March, half of them starts, the veteran guard averaged 11.9 points, 7.4 assists, 4.8 boards, 1.7 steals and 1.3 threes despite shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 31, 2024
Good to go Sunday
LeVert (wrist) has been cleared for Sunday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will return from a one-game absence due to right wrist soreness. Isaac Okoro (toe) will be inactive Sunday, representing a notable subtraction from Cleveland's cast of forwards. LeVert is averaged 17.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists in seven games without Okoro this season, and while the latter's absence might not be the only correlation to his scoring performance, LeVert's usage should receive a slight uptick.
Mar 30, 2024
Expected to play
LeVert (wrist) is probable to play Sunday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed his first game since early March on Friday against the 76ers, but the wing is expected back in the lineup against Denver. LeVert has struggled mightily in his last three appearances, scoring a combined 13 points.
Mar 29, 2024
Won't play Friday
LeVert (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Philadelphia, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is dealing with a sore right wrist and will be unavailable for the first time since early March. Sam Merrill and Max Strus could see additional playing time in his absence, while LeVert's next chance to return will be Sunday against the Nuggets.
Mar 29, 2024
Questionable for Friday
LeVert is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers due to right wrist soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert hasn't missed a game since early March, and he's seen plenty of playing time this month. However, he's been held in check recently, averaging 4.3 points, 5.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 27.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances. It's unclear whether his wrist issue has contributed to his struggles, but his status for Friday's game is up in the air in the hours leading up to tipoff.
Mar 27, 2024
Back to bench
LeVert isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
Max Strus will replace LeVert in the starting lineup Wednesday after missing time with a knee injury. LeVert is averaging 12.2 points, 7.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.4 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Mar 20, 2024
Notches double-double vs. Heat
LeVert had 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 107-104 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert now has three double-doubles on the season and has reached that mark in each of his last three starts. He's moved into the starting lineup with Donovan Mitchell set to miss time due to a nasal fracture. LeVert is averaging 13.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.9 steals over 33.1 minutes per game in March.
Mar 19, 2024
Teases triple-double Monday
LeVert ended Monday's 108-103 win over the Pacers with 23 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start in place of Donovan Mitchell (nose), LeVert topped 20 points for the second straight game while grabbing his fifth double-double of the season, four of which have come in his last 11 games. The veteran guard is averaging 13.6 points, 8.5 assists, 5.5 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes over that stretch as he helps cover for Mitchell's recent injury woes.
Mar 18, 2024
Gets start sans Mitchell
LeVert will start Monday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (nose) back on the sidelines, LeVert will return to the starting lineup. He's coming off a 21-point, seven-assist performance off the bench against the Rockets on Saturday and has averaged 18.0 points and 8.7 assists across his previous three starts this season.
Mar 17, 2024
Leading scorer off bench Saturday
LeVert chipped in 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
It was a nice bounce-back effort for LeVert, who was coming off a two-point performance against the Pelicans on Wednesday. It's his first 20-point game since Jan. 11 against the Nets and the first time he has shot 50 percent or better since Feb. 27 against the Mavericks. LeVert is averaging 5.1 assists per game this season, but he has upped that to 8.3 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
Mar 13, 2024
Moves to bench
LeVert isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
Donovan Mitchell will replace LeVert in the starting lineup Wednesday after missing Cleveland's last seven contests with a knee injury. LeVert is averaging 12.6 points, 8.2 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 33.4 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Mar 12, 2024
Impressive facilitation continues
LeVert contributed 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's secondary ballhandling skills and on-ball style have been leaned on with Donovan Mitchell (knee) out. Elevating LeVert's usage has its pros and cons, evident through a stellar 8.3 assists and 3.32 AST/TO ratio across his last four contests, as well as lowly 35.2 percent shooting, including a 29.6 percent clip from deep, on 13.5 shots per game. A difficult matchup awaits Wednesday against New Orleans' top-10 defense.
Mar 10, 2024
Top distributor in starting lineup
LeVert amassed six points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-101 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert got the starting nod with multiple Cavaliers inactive, leading all Cleveland players in assists to go along with a half-dozen point sand a team-leading trio of steals in a balanced performance. LeVert has distributed seven or more assists in 13 contests, including in four of his last five outings.
Mar 10, 2024
In starting lineup
LeVert is set to start at shooting guard in Sunday's game versus the Nets, Chris Fedor of cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is the next man up for the Cavaliers with Dean Wade (personal) sidelined. Cleveland has opted to go with a slightly smaller lineup by inserting LeVert. The wing put up 31 points, five rebounds and eight assists across 44.4 minutes in his only other start this season.
Mar 9, 2024
Scores 15 off bench in OT win
LeVert accumulated 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes off the bench during Friday's 113-104 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard has seen his usage and production increase over the last couple weeks with Donovan Mitchell (knee) sidelined. While LeVert did miss two games of his own at the beginning of March with a minor elbow injury, he's scored in double digits in each of his last six appearances, averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 assists, 6.0 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.
Mar 5, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
LeVert (elbow) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against Boston.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will take the court Tuesday, and his offense could be needed to keep pace with the high-octane Celtics. LeVert has compiled 37 points, five rebounds and eight assists on 14-for-27 shooting in two contests against Boston this season.
Mar 5, 2024
Present for warm-ups
LeVert (elbow) is on court for warm-ups in advance of Tuesday's game against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert could be poised to return from a two-game absence due to a right elbow sprain. If the 29-year-old is ultimately able to suit up, his offensive punch would be a welcome addition to a Cavaliers squad lacking Donovan Mitchell (knee) and Max Strus (knee).
Mar 4, 2024
Questionable for Tuesday
LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The elbow issue has forced LeVert to spend the past two games on the sidelines, but Cleveland could use LeVert now that Donovan Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the next three games. If LeVert is cleared for Tuesday's game, he could be looking at a starting role and a lot of responsibility on offense sans Mitchell.
Mar 3, 2024
Sidelined again
LeVert (elbow) won't play in Sunday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert and Donovan Mitchell (knee) have been ruled out for a second consecutive game, creating an opportunity for typical role players Max Strus, Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill to see increased usage. LeVert's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Celtics.
Mar 2, 2024
Iffy for Sunday
LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert and Donovan Mitchell (knee) are questionable after missing Friday's win over Detroit. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter would be candidates for playing time again if LeVert and Mitchell remain out Sunday.
Mar 1, 2024
Won't play Friday
LeVert (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert and Donovan Mitchell (knee) have been ruled out, leaving Cleveland's backcourt depleted behind Darius Garland and Max Strus. Isaac Okoro is a likely candidate to join the starting lineup, while Sam Merrill, Dean Wade, Georges Niang and Craig Porter are candidates for increased roles off the bench.
Mar 1, 2024
Added to injury report
LeVert is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pistons due to a right elbow sprain.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when LeVert suffered his elbow injury, but he is in danger of missing his first contest since Jan. 22 on Friday. If the 29-year-old guard is ruled out, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 29, 2024
Hands out 15 assists in OT loss
LeVert chipped in 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-123 double-overtime loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert didn't deliver eye-popping scoring figures after hitting 14 points off the bench, but his contributions in peripheral stats certainly stood out. The 15 assists were a season-high mark, and the two blocks also tied a season-high output. LeVert is expected to continue coming off the bench, as the Cavaliers are pretty much set when it comes to their starting unit, but he should remain valuable in some formats due to his excellent offensive contributions.
Feb 26, 2024
Productive off bench in win
LeVert closed Sunday's 114-105 win over Washington with 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has settled into a bench role for the Cavaliers this season, and there's no question this was one of his best performances to date, as he ended just two assists away from recording a triple-double. LeVert also reached the 18-point mark for the first time since Jan. 11, when he posted 21 points against the Nets. His fantasy appeal won't be high due to the nature of his bench role, but the veteran combo guard might be worth streaming in some slates and deep formats purely based on his offensive potential.
Feb 15, 2024
Struggles offensively in win
LeVert supplied five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and nine assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert salvaged another disappointing night with nine assists, the most he has served up in well over a month. Unfortunately, he has now scored fewer than six points in three of the past five games, falling well and truly off the standard league radar. At best, he should be viewed as a streaming candidate, with added value if and when the Cavaliers are dealing with injuries to other players.
Feb 6, 2024
Productive off bench
LeVert accumulated 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 136-110 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers are still taking it somewhat easy on Darius Garland, and LeVert's strong play off the bench has afforded them that luxury. LeVert has scored in double figures in six straight games, averaging 13.2 points, 4.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.5 three-pointers.
Feb 2, 2024
Hits for 16 off bench
LeVert supplied 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 108-101 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard has struggled to find his form since returning from a two-game absence in late January due to a wrist injury. Over the last five contests, LeVert is averaging just 12.2 points, 3.8 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.0 threes, but Thursday saw his best scoring performance during that stretch, offering some hope he'll get back on track in February.
Jan 24, 2024
Cleared to face Bucks
LeVert (wrist) will play in Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had missed back-to-back games with a sprained right wrist, but he was able to warm up without a brace on his wrist and is confirmed to be available. Since Darius Garland (jaw) went down in mid-December, LeVert is averaging 16.9 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 13 appearances.
Jan 23, 2024
Listed as questionable again
LeVert (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is in danger of missing a third straight game due to a right wrist sprain. If he's sidelined again, Sam Merrill and Craig Porter should maintain increased roles.
Jan 22, 2024
Absence continues Monday
LeVert (wrist) will not play Monday versus Orlando, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his second consecutive game due to a right wrist sprain. Wednesday against Milwaukee will be his next chance to take the court, while Sam Merrill and Craig Porter will gain larger roles in his stead. Sizable playmaking will fall on the shoulders of Donovan Mitchell.
Jan 21, 2024
Questionable Monday
LeVert (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Saturday's game due to wrist soreness which now has his status for Monday's game in question. If he is unable to go, Max Strus figures to be the main beneficiary, while Craig Porter, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro could see extra run as well.
Jan 20, 2024
Out Saturday
LeVert (wrist) will not play Saturday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his first contest since Dec. 23 due to a right wrist sprain. Max Strus will likely be leaned on for a two-way impact, while Craig Porter, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro should see upticks in usage as well.
Jan 19, 2024
Unlikely to play Saturday
LeVert (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert appeared in a ninth straight game Wednesday despite dealing with right wrist soreness, but he posted just four points (1-7 FG) in 22 minutes. Saturday's matchup is the first of a four-game road trip, so Cleveland may be cautious with the shooting guard moving forward, though with Darius Garland (jaw) not close to returning the Cavaliers need all the backcourt depth they can get.
Jan 17, 2024
Good to go
LeVert (wrist) will play Wednesday against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will appear in a ninth straight game despite dealing with a right wrist issue. His hand was heavily taped during the team's morning shootaround, which may impact him slightly during the game. LeVert's been on a tear recently, averaging 19.8 points on 45.9 percent shooting and 5.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last eight appearances.
Jan 17, 2024
Gets some shots up
LeVert (wrist) was spotted getting some shots up at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is currently listed as questionable to face the Bucks on Wednesday night. His wrist was heavily taped up at the shootaround, and it looks like he was doing a very light workout in front of the coaches. If he's unable to play, guys like Sam Merrill, Georges Niang and Craig Porter could be asked to step up.
Jan 16, 2024
Dealing with wrist soreness
LeVert is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to right wrist soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert hasn't missed a game since Dec. 23 and has been strong off the bench in the absence of Darius Garland (jaw), averaging 19.8 points on 45.9 percent shooting and 5.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last eight appearances. If LeVert is sidelined, Sam Merrill, Georges Niang and Craig Porter would be likely candidates for increased roles.
Jan 7, 2024
Surpasses 20 points off bench
LeVert racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led all bench players in Sunday's game in scoring while connecting on a quartet of threes and adding a pair of steels en route to ending as one of two Cavaliers with 20 or more points in a winning effort. LeVert has played some of his best basketball as of late, scoring at least 20 points in five of his last six games. He has now connected on four or more threes in four contests this year.
Jan 5, 2024
Double-double in win
LeVert had 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-90 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert registered his first double-double of the season and the 14th of his career in Friday's win. He's been the main option off the bench for the Cavs and has offered solid production this season. Over his last 10 games, LeVert is averaging 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.
Jan 1, 2024
Ties season high off bench
LeVert finished with 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes in Monday's 124-121 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the Cavaliers offensively in the New Year's Day contest, coming off the bench while finishing as the top scorer and leading all players in shots made to go along with a pair of threes. LeVert tied a season high in scoring, a mark he also reached Oct. 28 against Indiana. LaVert has tallied 29 or more points in four games this year, including in two of his last three contests.
Dec 28, 2023
Leads way with 29 points off bench
LeVert contributed 29 points (9-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds and seven assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Cleveland's previous contest due to a knee issue, and he wasn't certain to play Wednesday until being upgraded to available shortly before tipoff. The injury didn't seem to bother him against the Mavericks, however, as the veteran wing led the Cavs with 29 points, fueled by a 6-for-11 mark from three-point range. LeVert has shown flashes of this type of production throughout the campaign -- this was his seventh effort of 20-plus points through 22 appearances this season. He's not the most consistent or efficient performer, but his per-game averages of 15.7 points, 3.9 assists, 3.5 boards, 1.9 triples and 1.0 steals make him worthy of fantasy consideration despite a poor 41.8 percent field-goal rate.
Dec 27, 2023
Good to go against Dallas
LeVert (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday after missing the previous game with left knee tendinitis. With Donovan Mitchell (illness) and Darius Garland (jaw) out, LeVert will likely receive a heavier offensive load against Dallas.
Dec 27, 2023
Goes through shootaround
LeVert (knee) was able to participate in Wednesday's morning shootaround, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is still listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks and has missed the past two games for Cleveland. However, his attendance at the morning shootaround suggests that he's trending in the right direction. If LeVert or Donovan Mitchell (illness) are unable to play, Craig Porter would be in line for another big workload.
Dec 26, 2023
Iffy for Wednesday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is in danger of missing a second straight game due to left knee tendinitis. Donovan Mitchell (illness) is also questionable, while Darius Garland (jaw) remains out, so Craig Porter and Max Strus may remain in prominent roles against Dallas.
Dec 23, 2023
Won't play Saturday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Bulls, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers will be depleted on offense, and the loss of LeVert will deprive them of another playmaking and perimetral threat, something they're already lacking with Donovan Mitchell (illness) and Darius Garland (jaw) out. LeVert's next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Dec. 27.
Dec 23, 2023
Status in question Saturday
LeVert is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left knee tendonitis.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a late addition to the injury report with the same knee issue he was battling earlier in the month when he sat out four games. If he is unable to go, Max Strus and Georges Niang could see extra minutes.
Dec 21, 2023
Pops for 23 off bench
LeVert recorded 23 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-116 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (illness) sidelined, the Cavs needed someone else to step up on offense, and LeVert came through by topping 20 points for the second time in the last four games. While the veteran guard's knee remains a concern, he's been productive since returning from a four-game absence, and over those last four contests he's averaging 18.8 points, 4.5 boards, 4.5 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.8 steals.
Dec 15, 2023
Scores 26 off bench
LeVert finished Thursday's 116-107 loss to the Celtics with 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert appeared in a second consecutive game Thursday, and he was much more productive than he was during Tuesday's loss to Boston. The 29-year-old had the second-highest scoring total on the team while contributing on both sides of the ball. Despite Thursday's solid performance, LeVert has had some inconsistent performances when healthy recently, averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game over his last seven appearances.
Dec 12, 2023
Good to go
LeVert (knee/injury management) is active for Tuesday's game against Boston, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert went through pregame warm-ups and will officially return to the court after a four-game absence. His knee injury has been an issue since mid-November, which could put the 29-year-old on a limited workload Tuesday.
Dec 12, 2023
Iffy for Tuesday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed four straight games after aggravating a knee injury he originally suffered in mid-November, but he'll have a chance to suit up Tuesday. This is the first time he hasn't been ruled out on the Cavaliers' initial injury report during his recent absence, but LeVert's availability will likely come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.
Dec 10, 2023
Remains out
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a fourth straight game after aggravating a knee injury he originally suffered in mid-November. It's unclear when he'll be able to return, but he can be considered questionable, at best, for Tuesday's matchup in Boston. In LeVert's absence, Isaac Okoro, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for increased roles.
Dec 7, 2023
Still out Friday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert recently aggravated a knee injury that he originally sustained in mid-November, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive game. He'll have a few days to rest before Monday's game in Orlando, but his status for that matchup isn't yet clear. Isaac Okoro, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates to see increased roles off the bench Friday.
Dec 5, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Saturday's win over the Pistons after aggravating a knee issue that originally surfaced in mid-November. He missed back-to-back practices to start the week, so it's not surprising to see him immediately ruled out for Wednesday's contest. However, he can still be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup in Miami. In LeVert's absence, Isaac Okoro, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for increased bench roles.
Dec 5, 2023
Misses practice again
Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said LeVert (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert didn't play Saturday against the Pistons after aggravating a knee issue he originally sustained in mid-November, and he's now missed back-to-back practices to start the week. LeVert's status for Wednesday's matchup against Orlando should surface sometime Tuesday afternoon, but at the moment, he's not trending in the right direction.
Dec 4, 2023
Does not practice
LeVert (knee) did not practice Monday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was unable to play Saturday against the Pistons after he aggravated a knee issue that first popped up in mid-November. Craig Porter only saw four minutes of action in LeVert's absence Saturday, while Isaac Okoro played 33 minutes and produced nine points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer. LeVert should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Dec 1, 2023
Out with knee injury
LeVert has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Pistons due to a left knee injury.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed back-to-back games in mid-November due to a knee injury and has struggled since returning to action, averaging 8.0 points on 36.4 percent shooting over his last five appearances. In LeVert's absence, Craig Porter will presumably operate as the top guard behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.
Nov 22, 2023
Tossed from game
LeVert was assessed with two technical fouls and ejected from Wednesday's game versus the Heat with 1:07 left in the third quarter.
ANALYSIS
LeVert tallied 12 points, three assists, two rebounds and one block in 18 minutes before picking up two technical fouls for arguing with the officials. Emoni Bates, Craig Porter and Sam Merrill will likely receive increased minutes in his absence.
Nov 22, 2023
Set to play against Miami
LeVert (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus Miami, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with a knee injury. Despite Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) being ruled out, LeVert will continue to come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction.
Nov 22, 2023
Questionable for Wednesday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the past two games for the Cavaliers, but he remains day-to-day. The Cavaliers will be without Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee), so we could see a healthy dose of Craig Porter on Wednesday.
Nov 21, 2023
Ruled out against Philadelphia
LeVert (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the 76ers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his second straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter are likely to continue receiving extended minutes, with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) also out. LeVert's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Miami.
Nov 20, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was also questionable ahead of Sunday's game due to left knee soreness before getting ruled out, and a similar situation could happen Tuesday. Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) remain out, so Dean Wade has been starting, though LeVert would presumably handle extra usage if he's cleared to suit up.
Nov 19, 2023
Out Sunday
LeVert will not play Sunday against Denver, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will join Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) on the sideline, with Dean Wade sliding into the starting lineup Sunday. Max Strus could have a huge workload, while Georges Niang will be tasked with a larger role in the second unit. LeVert's next opportunity to take the court is Tuesday against Philadelphia.
Nov 19, 2023
Questionable to play Sunday
LeVert (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against Denver.
ANALYSIS
LeBert is dealing with left knee soreness. The 29-year-old has been busy of late, averaging 17.5 points on 15.5 shots per game over Cleveland's last four contests. Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is out Sunday, so LeVert being inactive as well would remove serious punch from Cleveland's offense
Nov 16, 2023
Continues solid sixth-man play
LeVert contributed 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert saw a slight regression while Donovan Mitchell picked apart the Trail Blazers, but he was still the first man off the bench and essentially took away all of starter Dean Wade's potential output. LeVert's strong play left Wade the odd man out despite Wade's 33 minutes on the court. It looks like the Cavs will continue to tinker with the backcourt until they get Darius Garland (neck) back, and they're confident with keeping LeVert in the second unit.
Nov 14, 2023
Keeps up production from bench
LeVert closed with 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Monday's 132-120 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Should LeVert continue in his current role, a Sixth Man of the Year nomination could be in his future. With the starting five performing at a high level, it appears that a catastrophic injury would be the only avenue to a starting role, but he's doing just fine as the first man off the bench, averaging 19 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals over nine games.
Nov 12, 2023
Logs team-high 22 points from bench
LeVert chipped in 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-110 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
With most of Cleveland's roster back to full health, LeVert is playing from the bench but still producing. He joined Georges Niang as the first man off the bench and continued to play for the entire second quarter to spell Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. LeVert also played almost all of the fourth quarter, giving him the highest minute count on the team.
Nov 12, 2023
Notable volume in win
LeVert ended Saturday's 118-110 win over Golden State with 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert launched his second-highest shot total of the season and led Cleveland in scoring despite subpar efficiency. LeVert was the only Cavalier to log 20-plus minutes off the bench, creating a solid floor as a sixth man when Cleveland is fully healthy.
Nov 9, 2023
Lives at the charity stripe
LeVert posted 29 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
LeVert the Cavaliers in scoring Wednesday despite coming off the bench. The 29-year-old guard found joy at the free-throw line, scoring almost half his points from the charity stripe. LeVert is averaging 33.4 minutes per contest, giving him more than ample opportunities to provide quality fantasy output, especially in the scoring department.
Nov 9, 2023
Drops 29 points off bench
LeVert finished with 29 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Although LeVert came off the bench during Wednesday's matchup, he had plenty of success from the floor and topped 20 points for the second time this year despite committing five fouls. The 29-year-old has had a few disappointing performances this year but should have plenty of chances to maintain a sizable role.
Nov 1, 2023
Leading scorer off bench in return
Levert recorded 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 95-89 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Levert sat out of the first game of the home-and-home series with the Knicks on Tuesday with a hamstring strain. He still managed to play 31 minutes despite going back to the bench after a spot start for Donovan Mitchell on Saturday and should continue to see a lot of floor time with Darius Garland (hamstring) sidelined.
Nov 1, 2023
Suiting up Wednesday
LeVert (hamstring) will play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was tabbed questionable for the closing leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set with hamstring soreness. However, after missing Tuesday's tilt, he's good to go Wednesday. While he'll still come off the bench even with Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) sidelined, expect LeVert to see a hefty workload once again.
Nov 1, 2023
Questionable Wednesday
LeVert (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was unavailable for Tuesday's matchup against New York but could return for the second half of the back-to-back set. Donovan Mitchell, Dean Wade and Craig Porter are candidates to see increased run if LeVert remains out.
Oct 31, 2023
Downgraded to out
LeVert (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to left hamstring soreness. Donovan Mitchell will likely take his place in the starting lineup against New York. LeVert's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's rematch with the Knicks.
Oct 31, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday
LeVert (left hamstring soreness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The Cavaliers can't seem to catch a break, as Darius Garland has already been ruled out with a hamstring issue and Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) remains questionable. LeVert was moving gingerly after Saturday's game and admitted to being a little sore, but it sounds like he'll see how it responds in warmups.
Oct 28, 2023
Scores 31 points in spot start
LeVert closed with 31 points (12-28 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert got the start Saturday night with Mitchell (hamstring) ruled out of the back-to-back. He took advantage of the opportunity and scored 31 points, the first time he's scored 30-plus in a game since Oct. 28, 2022 when he dropped 41 against the Celtics. He did struggle from the charity stripe and had six of the Cavs' nine missed free throws on the evening. He's likely to revert back to the bench Tuesday against the Knicks with Mitchell returning from his night off.
Oct 28, 2023
Set to start Saturday
LeVert will start Saturday against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will move to the starting lineup in place of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) after recording 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-105 loss to the Thunder. LeVert has scored in double digits in his first two outings of the campaign but should be in line for an even bigger role in this one.
Oct 27, 2023
Leads bench in scoring
LeVert amassed 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-105 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
LeVert ceded his spot in the starting lineup when the Cavaliers signed Max Strus to a four-year, $63 million contract during free agency, though he has played 31 minutes in each of the first two games of the 2023-24 campaign. He's led the Cavs bench in scoring in both games this season, though he's shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor so far. LeVert will continue to operate as the first player off the bench for the Cavaliers and would figure to slip into the starting lineup should Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, or Strus miss time.
Oct 25, 2023
Moves to bench
LeVert isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be replaced by Darius Garland in the starting lineup Wednesday. LeVert is expected to be one of Cleveland's first options off the bench this season.
Oct 20, 2023
Gets starts sans Garland
LeVert will start Friday's preseason finale against the Pacers, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
With Darius Garland (rest) out, LeVert will start next to Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland's backcourt. LeVert started only 30 of his 74 appearances last year, but he still played over 30 minutes per game. He should have a similar role in 2023-24.
Oct 16, 2023
Balanced outing in preseason win
LeVert tallied 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-89 preseason win over Ra'anana.
ANALYSIS
LeVert did a little bit of everything for Cleveland in Monday's preseason victory over Ra'anana, leading the team in steals while finishing second among starters in scoring, rebounds and assists in 21 minutes as a starter. LeVert set preseason-high marks in every statistical category in Monday's contest, a good sign for a player who should play a large role on the Cavalier this season.
Oct 16, 2023
Starting Monday's exhibition
LeVert will start Monday's exhibition against Maccabi, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Cleveland's usual starters unavailable, LeVert will get the nod at small forward. He'll be joined by Ty Jerome, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Damian Jones.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't play Thursday
LeVert has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Magic due to soreness, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The exact nature of LeVert's soreness wasn't specified, but he'll be unavailable for Thursday's matchup. Damian Jones will join the starting lineup in his place, while LeVert's next chance to suit up will be Oct. 20 against Indiana.
Jun 30, 2023
Staying in Cleveland
The Cavaliers signed LeVert to a two-year, $32 million contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was traded to the Cavaliers mid-way through the 2021-22 season and will spend at least two more years with the team. Last season he averaged 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.3 minutes across 74 appearances. While LeVert averaged the fewest points of his career since 2017-18, he shot a career-high 39.2 percent from three on 4.4 attempts, started in 30 games, and is still only 28 years old.
Apr 22, 2023
Scores 17 points in loss
LeVert ended with 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 99-79 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started in place of Isaac Okoro on Friday, and while the Cavaliers struggled as a team, LeVert delivered another strong individual showing. He's now surpassed the 15-point mark in his last two games, and it wouldn't be shocking if he stays in the lineup for Game 4 on Sunday.
Apr 21, 2023
Starting Game 3
LeVert will start at small forward in Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will replace Isaac Okoro in the starting unit. The move is not too surprising considering how effective he was in Game 2. It remains to be seen if they will stick with this lineup going forward.
Apr 14, 2023
Good to go Saturday
LeVert (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Knicks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed the final two games of the regular season to rest a lingering knee issue, but as expected, he'll be good to go for playoff action. The backup wing started 30 of his 74 regular-season appearances, posting 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.3 minutes per game.
Apr 8, 2023
Out for regular-season finale
LeVert (knee) will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will rest up for the Cavaliers' first-round playoff series against the Knicks, joining Darius Garland (lower leg), Donovan Mitchell (hand), Isaac Okoro (knee) and Dylan Windler (foot) on the sidelines, while Jarrett Allen (groin) is questionable. LeVert finishes his first complete season with Cleveland averaging 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 30.3 minutes. He heads into the postseason with nine prior playoff appearances under his belt.
Apr 5, 2023
Out Thursday
LeVert has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Orlando due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has finished with at least 15 points and 33 minutes played in three straight games, but he'll take a seat Thursday to manage some knee pain, along with the majority of Cleveland's regulars. The severity of the knee issue remains unclear, but LeVert's next chance to suit up will come during the Cavaliers' regular-season finale against Charlotte on Sunday.
Apr 2, 2023
Moving back to bench
LeVert will shift back to the bench for Sunday's game against Indiana, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started the last two games with Isaac Okoro (knee) sidelined, and while Okoro is out again Sunday, the Cavs will pivot to Dean Wade at forward alongside Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. LeVert finished Friday's loss to the Knicks with 15 points, seven assists, four rebounds, a steal and a block in 37 minutes.
Mar 28, 2023
Starting with Okoro out
LeVert will start Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Isaac Okoro (knee) and Jarrett Allen (groin) shelved, LeVert and Lamar Stevens shift into the starting five. In LeVert's 11 starts since the New Year, he's averaged 16.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.3 minutes.
Mar 27, 2023
Logs 31 minutes off bench
LeVert amassed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 108-91 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to play meaningful minutes off the bench, topping 30 for the third time in his past five games. He has scored double-digits in all five games, totaling 17 assists and 11 steals. As long as he is playing as the sixth man, he is worth a look for streaming purposes, assuming field goal efficiency is not a priority.
Mar 21, 2023
Nears 20 points off bench in win
LeVert supplied 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-109 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the bench in scoring and assists while leading the team in steals and finishing with the second-highest point total in Tuesday's victory. LeVert has scored 15 or more points in six straight contests.
Mar 18, 2023
Stays hot with solid showing
LeVert recorded 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 117-94 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been on quite the run for the Cavaliers. Over the past five games, LeVert leads all Cavaliers in 9-category fantasy value with 18.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 3.2 three-pointers. The bad news is that LeVert doesn't play again until March 21 against the Nets, giving him three full days off.
Mar 16, 2023
Big night off the bench
LeVert finished with 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
After making the start in place of Darius Garland (finger) on Tuesday, LeVert was relegated back to the bench against Philadelphia. He managed his highest scoring output of the year outside of the starting lineup, and only the third 20 point performance of the season coming off the bench. Cleveland is currently the four seed in the East, and will look to hold on to a home court series in the opening round of the playoffs. Look for LeVert to have an expanded role down the stretch, though he still won't provide consistent fantasy value for managers looking for a championship of their own over the next few weeks.
Mar 15, 2023
Moves back to bench
LeVert isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Donovan Mitchell will replace LeVert in the starting lineup Wednesday. LeVert is averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 26.8 minutes across his 37 games coming off the bench this season.
Mar 15, 2023
Pops for 22 in Tuesday's start
LeVert produced 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 120-104 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wing got the start with Donovan Mitchell (finger) sidelined and responded by topping 20 points for the first time since Jan. 20. LeVert has scored in double digits in five of the last seven games, but his fantasy value remains somewhat limited when the Cavs' roster is fully healthy.
Mar 14, 2023
Set to start Tuesday
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Charlotte, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will replace Donovan Mitchell (finger) in the starting five Tuesday. LeVert is averaging 15.0 points, 4.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 34.6 minutes across his 27 starts this season, giving him good DFS value.
Mar 10, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
LeVert will move into the starting lineup Friday against the Heat, Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Darius Garland (right quadriceps contusion) is sitting this one out but is considered day-to-day. In 26 starts this season, LeVert has posted averages of 14.9 points, 4.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers.
Mar 7, 2023
Makes rare impact on defense
LeVert finished with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 33 minutes in Monday's 118-114 overtime win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
With Boston missing its top two big men (Robert Williams and Al Horford), the Cavaliers matched up with more small-ball lineups, an arrangement that enabled LeVert to eclipse the 30-minute mark for just the third time in nine games. Though he still makes for a decent streaming option for points and three-pointers -- albeit with typically poor percentages -- when the Cavaliers are without one of Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland, LeVert remains a far less appealing fantasy option in his current sixth-man role. His production in the defensive categories Monday propped up the overall value of his stat line, but LeVert had averaged just 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks over his previous nine appearances since moving back to the bench Feb. 10.
Feb 10, 2023
Removed from starting lineup
LeVert isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Pelicans, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be replaced by Donovan Mitchell in the starting unit Friday. The 28-year-old guard is averaging 10.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.2 minutes across his last five appearances.
Feb 8, 2023
Has all-around showing as starter
LeVert amassed 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 113-85 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
LeVert got a start Wednesday due to Donovan Mitchell (groin) and Darius Garland (thumb) both out, putting forth an all-around performance while securing 15 points in the victory. LeVert has tallied at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in four games this season.
Feb 8, 2023
Starting Wednesday
LeVert will start Wednesday's matchup against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (groin) and Darius Garland (thumb) out, LeVert and Raul Neto will start in the backcourt. Across LeVert's past 10 starts, he's averaged 17.0 points, 4.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 35.6 minutes.
Feb 6, 2023
Will play Monday
LeVert (hamstring) will play Monday versus the Wizards, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed back-to-back contests due to a sore right hamstring and was initially listed as questionable, but he'll ultimately return to action Monday. Prior to his two-game absence, the backup guard had scored in double figures in 14 of his last 18 appearances (nine starts), averaging 13.9, 3.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 31.8 minutes during that stretch. With Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell both healthy, LeVert figures to operate as the top guard off the bench and should garner a sizable workload against Washington.
Feb 6, 2023
Considered questionable Monday
LeVert (right hamstring soreness) is listed as questionable for Monday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
He has missed the past two games for the Cavaliers and remains day-to-day. Ricky Rubio will rest for the second leg of the back-to-back, so we could see a lot of Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro if LeVert does not get the green light.
Feb 5, 2023
Sitting out Sunday
Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said LeVert (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Pacers, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be sidelined for the second game in a row with the sore right hamstring, depriving the Cavaliers' second unit of its top scoring option. In the Cavaliers' most recent game Thursday against the Grizzlies, Cedi Osman was the biggest beneficiary of LeVert's absence, stepping up with 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes.
Feb 4, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
LeVert (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was unable to take the floor Thursday due to hamstring soreness that surfaced before the contest. He's apparently not out of the woods yet as far as the hamstring goes, so it will be worth keeping an eye out for updates on his status on game day.
Feb 2, 2023
Ruled out Thursday
LeVert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a late addition to Thursday's injury report due to his sore right hamstring, and he'll be sidelined for the first time since Nov. 27. Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman are candidates to see increased run against the Grizzlies, while LeVert will have a few days to recover before the Cavaliers face Indiana on Sunday.
Feb 2, 2023
Receives questionable tag
LeVert is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies due to right hamstring soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign for his availability Thursday. If he's unable to suit up, Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman, Dean Wade and Lamar Stevens are candidates to receive extended minutes.
Jan 26, 2023
Set to start Thursday
LeVert will start Thursday against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.comreports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will make his 24th start of the season Thursday with Donovan Mitchell (groin) unavailable. The guard is averaging 15.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a starter this season.
Jan 24, 2023
Coming off bench Tuesday
LeVert will come off the bench Tuesday against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (groin) returning from a three-game absence, LeVert will resume his usual bench role. In five appearances as a reserve this month, he's averaging 9.8 points, 3.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 28.4 minutes.
Jan 22, 2023
Goes for 13 points in win
LeVert chipped in 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started for the third game in a row, and while he couldn't reach the 20-point mark as he did in the past two contests, he still ended with a decent stat line, highlighted by his seven assists -- his highest mark in that category Oct. 30, when he dished out eight against the Knicks. LeVert is averaging 14.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in January.
Jan 21, 2023
Drills five triples
LeVert supplied 22 points (7-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 120-114 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert tied his best mark of the season by hitting five shots from deep. He's scored 20-plus points in back-to-back games and has converted on nine of 15 attempts from downtown over this brief stretch.
Jan 18, 2023
Puts in 23 points in starting role
LeVert closed with 23 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Levert found himself in the starting lineup in the absence of Donovan Mitchell (knee). He made the most of the opportunity, matching his season-high of 23 points. Mitchell had a chance to play Wednesday, so LeVert's time in the starting lineup seems to be limited.
Jan 18, 2023
Starting WEdnesday
LeVert will join the first unit for Wednesday's matchup with the Grizzlies, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert receives the starting nod in place of Donovan Mitchell who will miss Wednesday's contest after exiting Monday's game with a left groin strain. Although there is no timetable for Mitchell to return fantasy managers should expect Levert to remain in the starting five for the duration of Mitchell's absence. In 20 starts this season, LeVert has averaged 15.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists across 34.6 minutes.
Jan 13, 2023
Ugly night despite 31 minutes
LeVert racked up four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-113 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert maintained a significant role Thursday and yet turned in a lackluster performance, even by his standards. Ricky Rubio also returned in this game and while he is going to be eased back in slowly, his presence is likely to cut into LeVert's opportunities. Given his deficiencies, LeVert is probably someone who can be sent packing, at least in 12-team leagues.
Jan 8, 2023
Heads back to bench
LeVert is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
LeVert heads back to the bench with the return of Donovan Mitchell to the starting unit. The guard has scored at least 20 points in two of his last three games and should operate as Cleveland's main second-unit scorer in this game.
Jan 4, 2023
Steps up late as leading scorer
LeVert accumulated 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 90-88 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the team in points and threes made in Wednesday's victory, scoring 12 of his team-high 21 points in the fourth quarter. LeVert has scored 20 or more points in two of his last three games, having done so in eight contests this season.
Dec 31, 2022
Productive in spot start
LeVert chipped in 23 points (10-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Darius Garland who was earlier ruled out due to a thumb injury. As he tends to do when afforded a starting role, LeVert compiled his best game in quite a while, outside of going 0-of-2 from the line. If Garland continues to miss time, LeVert is worth grabbing in standard formats, especially for anyone in need of assists and points.
Dec 31, 2022
Gets starting nod
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Bulls, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will replace Darius Garland (thumb) in the starting five Saturday. He is averaging 14.1 points, 5.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.1 minutes across the 16 games he's started this season.
Dec 27, 2022
Another quiet outing
LeVert racked up eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and two steals across 20 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert strung together three straight 20-plus-point efforts early in December, but since then he hasn't been overly useful to fantasy managers. Over his last seven games, he's averaging just 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals per game while shooting under 40 percent from the floor in 28.1 minutes.
Dec 17, 2022
Rough night Saturday
LeVert posted four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 overtime win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert played 38 minutes off the bench but provided very few highlights, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. While he has been 12-team relevant at certain periods throughout the season, he is simply too inconsistent to warrant a permanent roster spot, especially when both Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are healthy. Outside of some limited streaming appeal, he really belongs on waivers in all standard leagues.
Dec 13, 2022
Scores 23 in return to bench
LeVert posted 23 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 112-111 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert returned to the bench with Donovan Mitchell moving back to the starting unit, but the former Nets guard still found a way to produce on offense. LeVert has now scored at least 20 points in three games in a row for the first time in the current campaign, and he seems to be rediscovering his early season form, as he scored in double digits in his first five appearances of the campaign but hasn't been able to repeat that feat since then.
Dec 12, 2022
Returns to bench Monday
LeVert is coming off the bench for Monday's contest against San Antonio, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The Michigan product started each of Cleveland's past two contests, however, Levert will head back to the bench with Donovan Mitchell (leg) back in the lineup. Throughout his first seven games as a reserve this season, LeVert is averaging 7.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 24.1 minutes per game.
Dec 10, 2022
Strong effort again Saturday
LeVert racked up 22 points (9-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
LeVert scored 22 points for the second straight game, a fine reward for anyone who streamed him in for the back-to-back set. It remains unclear how long Donovan Mitchell (leg) will spend on the sideline, but until he is cleared to return, LeVert makes for a viable short-term addition, even in 12-team formats.
Dec 10, 2022
Scores team-high 22 points
LeVert racked up 22 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Friday's 106-95 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
LeVert moved into the starting lineup, replacing Donovan Mitchell who was out with a leg issue. For anyone who took a chance on LeVert, he repaid the faith, leading the Cavaliers with 22 points. LeVert can certainly be a 12-team asset when his role is large enough. Unfortunately, that has not been the case of late, and so unless Mitchell misses more time, he should be viewed as more of a deeper league commodity.
Dec 9, 2022
Starting for injured Mitchell
LeVert will start Friday's game against the Kings, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Donovan Mitchell (lower leg) sidelined, LeVert gets his first start since Nov. 16. As a starter, LeVert is averaging 12.9 points, 5.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 33.6 minutes this season. He sees a 2.1 percent usage boost with Mitchell off the floor.
Nov 30, 2022
Excellent shooting Wednesday
LeVert provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-85 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert made all five of his shot attempts in the first half as he scored 13 points in 14 minutes. He went just 4-for-26 in his previous four games before catching fire Wednesday. While his 37.8 percent shooting percentage is the lowest of his career, his 38.7 percent mark from beyond the arc is a personal best.
Nov 28, 2022
Back Monday
LeVert (ankle) will play in Monday's contest against the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the Cavaliers' past four games but will officially be active for Monday's battle against the Raptors. The Michigan product is averaging 11.6 points, 4.5 rebounds ad 4.9 assists across 32.2 minutes throughout his first 16 showings this season.
Nov 28, 2022
Probable Monday
LeVert (ankle) is probable Monday against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last four games due to a swollen left ankle, but he'll likely be able to return to action for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's averaging 11.6 points, 4.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game to begin the year.
Nov 27, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
LeVert (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is set to miss his fourth straight game due to a swollen left ankle, and his next chance to play will come Monday against the Raptors in the second half of this back-to-back set. Names such as Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro could benefit from LeVert's injury, as Lamar Stevens, another candidate to see an expanded role, has been ruled out due to illness.
Nov 26, 2022
Could return Sunday
LeVert (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last three games due to a swollen left ankle. Lamar Stevens (illness), Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro have all seen boosts in their playing time with the 28-year-old guard out. If Levert is unable to play Sunday, he could return for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Nov 24, 2022
Out once again Friday
LeVert (ankle) will not play Friday at Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Injuries continue to mount around the league at an alarming rate, and this will be the third straight absence for LeVert, who's battling swelling in his left ankle. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game at Detroit.
Nov 22, 2022
Out Wednesday
LeVert (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a second straight game. Kevin Love (thumb) is questionable while Dean Wade (knee) is probable. Both players, plus Lamar Stevens and Cedi Osman, stand to benefit from LeVert's absence.
Nov 21, 2022
Ruled out Monday
LeVert (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
LeVert exited Sunday's win over Miami due to swelling in his left ankle, but he downplayed the severity of the issue afterward. However, he'll be forced to miss at least one game after being diagnosed with a sprain. Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman should see increased playing time in LeVert's absence.
Nov 21, 2022
Downplays ankle injury
LeVert said he's dealing with minimal swelling his left ankle after exiting Sunday's 113-87 loss to the Heat, but his status for Monday's game against the Hawks hasn't yet been established, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert doesn't look like he's in danger of an extended absence following his removal from the first half of Sunday's contest, but the Cavaliers could still elect to err on the side of caution and hold him out Monday. Expect the Cavaliers to provide an update on LeVert's status closer to Monday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. If LeVert is unable to play Monday, starting small forward Lamar Stevens as well as Cedi Osman -- who broke out for 20 points and 12 rebounds in 37 minutes Sunday -- could be in line for extra playing time.
Nov 20, 2022
Won't return to Sunday's game
LeVert won't return to Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left ankle injury, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was held scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt) with five rebounds, four assists and a steal in 14 minutes prior to exiting Sunday's game in the first half. He was ruled out at halftime, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Nov 19, 2022
Silent in bench role
LeVert totaled four points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 132-122 double-overtime victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had tallied double digits in all but three of his starts this season, but he couldn't find his stroke off the bench Friday despite logging a healthy 30 minutes. Lamar Stevens wasn't particularly efficient in his starting role Friday, so it could be a revolving door for the Cavs' fifth starting spot until something clicks with one of the lineups.
Nov 18, 2022
Removed from starting lineup
LeVert will move back to the bench for Friday's game versus Charlotte and the foreseeable future, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lamar Stevens will replace LeVert in the starting lineup going forward. LeVert has struggled this season, averaging 12.9 points, 5.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds on a 38.5 field-goal percentage in 33.6 minutes across 14 games this season. The 28-year-old will likely still be a key rotation piece off the bench.
Nov 17, 2022
Minimal impact against Milwaukee
LeVert posted two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's field-goal percentage on the season is now down to 38.5. His points per game are also the lowest of his career since 2017-18. If LeVert continues to play poorly, he could lose his starting to Lamar Stevens or Isaac Okoro.
Nov 10, 2022
Produces well-rounded line in loss
LeVert posted 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has struggled to put the ball in the hoop this season -- he entered Wednesday shooting just 36.5 percent from the field -- but he knocked down half of his attempts Wednesday to finish second on the team with 21 points. Even better, the versatile wing led the Cavs with 10 boards to log his first double-double of the campaign. As icing on the cake, LeVert added six dimes and a pair of thefts to round out one of his better performances this season. While his shooting struggles are problematic, LeVert has maintained fantasy viability by averaging 14.1 points, 5.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 0.9 steals through 11 contests.
Nov 8, 2022
Meager output in loss
LeVert produced four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert struggled to find his shooting stroke during Monday's loss and failed to score in double figures for just the second time this season. Across 10 appearances, the veteran is averaging 13.4 points, 5.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 35.2 minutes per game, but his scoring output may be skewed by a 41-point outburst against the Celtics on Oct. 28 when Darius Garland was sidelined with an eye injury.
Nov 4, 2022
Starting at point guard
LeVert will start at point guard in Friday's game against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealerreports.
ANALYSIS
With Darius Garland (knee) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) ruled out, LeVert will slide to the point guard spot and will claim the primary ball-handling role for the Cavaliers. With this, LeVert becomes an incredibly attractive option in daily formats.
Nov 3, 2022
Plays season-high in minutes
LeVert posted 15 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 46 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime win versus the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's playing time is encouraging, as he received extended minutes despite Darius Garland returning to the lineup. LeVert has struggled from the field (33.3 percent) but is blistering hot from three (47.5 percent on 5.7 attempts per game) through seven games. These percentages will likely flip, and the 28-year-old forward looks to be a key part of the Cavaliers' rotation.
Oct 28, 2022
Unleashes on Boston
LeVert totaled 41 points (12-21 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 43 minutes during Friday's 132-123 overtime victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
LeVert exploded offensively in the comeback victory, notching 11 of his 41 points in overtime. It was easily his best game of the season, and arguably his best game as a Cavalier, matching or beating his season-highs in just about every statistical category. The seventh-year wing has shown flashes of this brilliance over his career, but still needs to prove he can do it on a more consistence basis.
Oct 22, 2022
Near double-double performance
LeVert contributed 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-96 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert tallied season-high marks in both scoring and assists in Saturday's win over Chicago, nearly posting a double-double for Cleveland. In two games this season, LeVert is averaging 12.0 points, 7.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Oct 20, 2022
Well-rounded stat line Wednesday
LeVert accumulated 10 points (2-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert won the starting small forward job to begin the regular season and saw plenty of playing time during Wednesday's narrow loss, while Isaac Okoro logged just 12 minutes off the bench. LeVert shot just 28.6 percent from the floor, but he was productive in multiple categories during the regular-season opener. The 28-year-old will attempt to improve his efficiency moving forward, but he made a strong case to retain his starting role.
Oct 19, 2022
Wins starting job Wednesday
LeVert will start at small forward for Wednesday's season opener against the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has officially won the starting job over Isaac Okoro to start the season. LeVert gives the Cavaliers more offensive versatility as he averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 assists and 0.9 in 30.7 minutes over 58 games for the Cavaliers and Pacers last season. However, Okoro does provide better perimeter defense, so this position battle is worth monitoring as the season progresses.
Oct 15, 2022
Four steals in loss
LeVert had 12 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and four steals Friday during the Cavaliers' 114-108 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert started and logged a team-high 27 minutes. Issac Okoro, LeVert's main competition for Cleveland starting small-forward role, started as well. Speculatively, it seems a timeshare could be firmly in place. LeVert averaged 11.1 points, 3.2 assists and 2.4 rebounds in nine starts off the bench for the Cavaliers in 2021-22.
Oct 14, 2022
Starting Friday
LeVert is starting Friday's preseason finale against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert rested for Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Hawks but will be in the starting lineup for his return to action Friday. The 28-year-old is still in a competition to serve as the Cavaliers' starting small forward to begin the regular season.
Oct 13, 2022
Will play Friday
Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Thursday that LeVert would travel with the team to play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Magic, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Wednesday's preseason game versus the Hawks due to rest. It is still not confirmed if LeVert will be the starting small forward once the regular season rolls around, but all signs are pointing to it. The 28-year-old veteran provides more offensive creation than any of the Cavaliers' options behind him.
Oct 12, 2022
Will rest Wednesday
LeVert will get the night off Wednesday to give others a chance to play against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
While the starting small forward spot remains unconfirmed, LeVert is the clear leader in the clubhouse at this point. His night off Wednesday may be another check in his favor, while Isaac Okoro will get some run with the starters and will get the starting nod in his place.
Oct 12, 2022
Still competing for starting job
Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wednesday that he has not settled on LeVert as the team's starting small forward but adds that he has done everything right to earn the job, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is competing with Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Dylan Windler for the starting small forward spot. However, the 2016 No. 20 pick provides more offensive firepower than any of the other options. LeVert is well-positioned to start once the regular season begins on Oct. 19.
Oct 5, 2022
Set to start in preseason opener
LeVert will start at small forward in Wednesday's preseason opener versus Philadelphia, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff has yet to iron out the starting small forward for the regular season. Isaac Okoro, LeVert, Cedi Osman, Dylan Windler, and Dean Wade will all be competing for the spot. LeVert will get a good chance to earn that role Wednesday night. Last season he averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 30.7 minutes across 58 games for both the Cavaliers and Pacers.
Apr 12, 2022
Balanced line in loss
LeVert posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 115-108 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert wasn't an especially efficient shooter, but he got his teammates involved and was impactful defensively. While Darius Garland will always be the driving force of Cleveland's offense, LeVert will get plenty of chances to act as a secondary creator as long as the Cavs survive in the play-in and playoffs.
Apr 2, 2022
Bounces back Saturday
LeVert notched 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-101 win over New York.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has started the past five games as the Cavaliers have dealt with injuries. His performances have been a mixed bag, and Saturday's effort was one of his better outings lately. While he's tough to roster in daily leagues due to the varience, his overall stats over the course of a week generally make him worth a roster spot in standard formats.
Mar 30, 2022
Bounces back with 32 points
LeVert ended with 32 points (11-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert bounced backed from a dismal shooting performance against the Magic on Monday with his best scoring outing since posting 42 points Feb. 4 against the Bulls. His 32 points led the team by a wide margin, and it also marked a fourth time reaching the 30-point mark this season. The Michigan product has recorded double figures offensively in all but two games since returning from a foot injury March 14 versus the Clippers.
Mar 29, 2022
Poor shooting night
LeVert totaled eight points (4-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 107-101 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was recently elevated into the starting lineup and is expected to remain a starter until Jarrett Allen (finger) returns. However, LeVert struggled greatly Monday, logging a team-worst minus-13 in the box score and failing to knock down a three. Regardless of his future role, he'll look to bounce back Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Mar 28, 2022
Will remain in starting lineup
LeVert will remain in the starting five for Monday's game against Orlando, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In need of a spark, the Cavs mixed up the lineup and rolled with LeVert at shooting guard for Saturday's game against the Bulls. They didn't get the win, but LeVert looked comfortable, putting up 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in 36 minutes -- his most in any game since coming over from Indiana. Fedor relays that the Cavs will continue to start LeVert until Jarrett Allen (finger) returns -- "and possibly beyond."
Mar 27, 2022
Productive in starting role
LeVert closed with 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 98-94 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
LeVert moved back into the starting lineup Saturday, walking away with his best performance since returning from injury. It's been a rough couple of weeks for LeVert and managers will certainly be hoping this is the start of a productive stretch. The Cavaliers are fighting to avoid the Play-In tournament and so every win is going to be key moving forward. Despite the fact his percentages can be an issue, LeVert should probably be added in most places moving forward.
Mar 26, 2022
Playing time no longer restricted
LeVert's minutes will not be restricted moving forward, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been on a pitch count since returning from a month-long absence, playing more than 25 minutes just once in his six appearances. However, his playing time -- and presumably, his output -- figure to pick up from here on out.
Mar 22, 2022
Limited run in loss
LeVert had 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 131-120 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert racked up three fouls in the first quarter, which threw him out of rhythm and forced him to sit prolonged stretches of the game. Additionally, logged a minis-11 in the box score and was suspect defensively -- perhaps playing cautiously with his three fouls. Nonetheless, he was solid offensively and will look to supply a complete outing Thursday against the Raptors.
Mar 16, 2022
To remain on minutes restriction
LeVert will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the 76ers and will have a minutes restriction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert returned to the court Monday following the extended absence and contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes of action. He'll likely handle a similar workload Wednesday as the Cavs start to increase his minutes. Lamar Stevens will draw another start in the meantime.
Mar 15, 2022
Solid in return
LeVert had 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Monday's 120-111 overtime victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert (foot) missed nearly a month of action, but the 27-year-old looked sharp in his return. Facing a minutes restriction, LeVert logging 25 minutes is a good start towards ramping up for a full workload. A duel with Philadelphia is on deck for Wednesday.
Mar 14, 2022
Will return Monday
LeVert (foot) will return to action Monday night against the Clippers, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A foot injury kept LeVert out of the Cavs' first nine games after the All-Star break, but after making progress in recent days he'll return to action for the first time in nearly a full calendar month. For fantasy managers, LeVert's absence couldn't have come at a worse time, though his return could pay major dividends over the final few weeks of the regular season. Cleveland has four games on its schedule this week and is set to play five times during the final full week of the regular season (March 28 - April 3).
Mar 13, 2022
Iffy for Monday
The Cavaliers list LeVert (foot) as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
A sprained right foot has kept LeVert out for nine straight games, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return. If the Cavaliers decide to hold LeVert out for another contest, however, the team could be shorthanded out of the backcourt, as Rajon Rondo (ankle) is being listed as doubtful for the contest. Before injuring his foot, LeVert had seen a downtown in his fantasy value since coming over from the Pacers on Feb. 6. Through his first four games with Cleveland, LeVert averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes.
Mar 12, 2022
Officially out vs. Bulls
LeVert (foot) is out Saturday against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
As expected, LeVert remains out for a ninth straight game. His next chance to return is Monday against the Clippers.
Mar 12, 2022
Doubtful Saturday
LeVert (foot) is unlikely to play Saturday against the Bulls, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It sounds like LeVert isn't too far off, but he'll likely remain out with a sprained right foot. Assuming he's out, his next chance to play is Monday against the Clippers.
Mar 10, 2022
Out at Miami
LeVert (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is out for an eighth straight game as he continues to recover from a sprained right foot. It's not clear when he'll be back, and more minutes should continue to go to Lamar Stevens and Cedi Osman in the meantime.
Mar 7, 2022
Remains out Tuesday
LeVert (foot) is out Tuesday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game as he continues to deal with a sprained right foot. He's been progressing recently and has been ramping up his workouts, and his next chance to return to game action will be Friday against the Heat.
Mar 6, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
LeVert (foot) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Toronto, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While it never seemed as though LeVert had much of a chance to play Sunday, the fact that he was listed as doubtful -- as opposed to out -- should be viewed as an encouraging sign. Speaking pregame, coach JB Bickerstaff noted that LeVert isn't quite ready to play, but he's progressing and ramping up in recent workouts. LeVert could be back in the fold as soon as Tuesday at Indiana. If he misses that contest, he'll have two more days off before the Cavs' next game Friday at Miami.
Mar 5, 2022
Unlikely to play Sunday
LeVert (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last five games due to a foot injury, and he's trending toward another absence Sunday. He participated in a light workout Monday but doesn't yet have a clear timetable for his return to game action.
Mar 3, 2022
Remains out Friday
LeVert (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
LeVert participated in a light workout Monday, but he'll be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game Friday. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday against Toronto.
Mar 2, 2022
Going through light activity
LeVert (foot) completed a light workout Monday, but he remains out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday, with his continued absence fully expected after Tom Withers of the Associated Press reported Feb. 24 that the 27-year-old would be sidelined for 1-to-2 weeks due to a sprained right foot. While the fact that LeVert is doing any on-court work is a good sign, he still may have a tough time making it back for the short end of that 1-to-2-week timeline Friday, when the Cavaliers travel to Philadelphia.
Feb 24, 2022
Likely out 1-to-2 weeks
The Cavaliers expect LeVert to miss about a week or two due to his sprained right foot, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Foot injuries have dogged LeVert dating back to his college days at Michigan, and he missed extensive time during the 2018-19 campaign while he was with Brooklyn after dislocating his right foot. Though LeVert's latest foot-related setback doesn't appear to be quite as severe, he'll still miss multiple games coming out of the All-Star break. Starting point guard Darius Garland (back) will also be sidelined for at least the Cavs' first game out of the break Thursday in Detroit, likely leaving Rajon Rondo, Cedi Osman and Brandon Goodwin as the team's primary playmakers out of the backcourt.
Feb 23, 2022
Unavailable Thursday
LeVert has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a right foot sprain.
ANALYSIS
LeVert appeared in each of the final four games ahead of the All-Star break after being traded from Indiana to Cleveland, but he's dealing with a foot issue as the Cavaliers prepare to return to action. Cedi Osman, Lamar Stevens and Brandon Goodwin should see increased run against Detroit.
Feb 23, 2022
Role remains in flux
Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wednesday that he's not sure what LeVert's role will be following the All-Star break, Chris Manning of WKYC 3 News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert, who was acquired ahead of the trade deadline, has averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes across in four appearances (one start) for the Cavaliers. His only start came with Darius Garland and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) sidelined, but it was his best game with his new squad, as he posted 22 points (10-19 FG,1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block in 36 minutes. Garland has since returned to the lineup and Markkanen appears to be trending in the right direction, so there doesn't appear to be a clear avenue for LeVert to join the starting lineup anytime soon.
Feb 12, 2022
Back to bench Saturday
LeVert will come off the bench Saturday against the 76ers, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Darius Garland (back) returning to the starting lineup, LeVert will resume a bench role. In his first two games with the Cavaliers, he's averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.0 minutes.
Feb 12, 2022
Scores 22 in start
LeVert racked up 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-113 victory over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
LeVert drew the start Friday with Darius Garland (back) unavailable, and he tied for the team lead on the scoreboard while leading the Cavaliers' starters with five assists. While the 27-year-old could return to a bench role once Cleveland is back at full strength, he's scored in double figures in each of his first two appearances with his new team while averaging 32.0 minutes per game.
Feb 11, 2022
Starting for injured Garland
LeVert will start Friday's game against the Pacers with Darius Garland (back) sidelined, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will get the nod at point guard in his second game with the team. He wasn't great off the bench in his debut Wednesday against the Spurs, where he posted 11 points, two assists, one rebound and one steal in 28 minutes. Both his minutes and usage should elevate Friday.
Feb 10, 2022
Debuts with Cleveland
LeVert registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-92 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
LeVert having a quiet performance in his debut with a new team is excusable. Expect him to settle into head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's scheme over the next week(s). He led Cleveland with minutes off the bench, and will almost certainly slot in for Dean Wade in the starting lineup in the imminent future.
Feb 9, 2022
Coming off bench in Cavs debut
LeVert will come off the bench Wednesday against San Antonio in his debut for Cleveland, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will debut for the Cavaliers after being acquired from the Pacers over the weekend, and he'll start out as his new team's sixth man. The 27-year-old could eventually shift to a starting role, but he'll play a significant role in Cleveland's backcourt regardless of whether or not he's actually in the starting five.
Feb 9, 2022
Slated to debut Wednesday
LeVert is available to make his team debut Wednesday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was dealt from the Pacers to the Cavaliers on Sunday and will be able to make his first appearance with his new team Wednesday. He's coming off one of his best performances of the season, as he posted 42 points, eight assists and five rebounds in 41 minutes against the Bulls during his final outing with Indiana. The 27-year-old will presumably take on a starting role for Cleveland since Collin Sexton (knee) is out for the season.
Feb 6, 2022
Traded to Cleveland
LeVert was acquired by the Cavaliers on Sunday in exchange for Ricky Rubio (knee) and a package of three draft picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is fresh off a 42-point eruption Friday against the Bulls, and it will end up being his last game with the Pacers. The 27-year-old has averaged 18.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 31.1 minutes this season, and he'll help cover the absence of Collin Sexton (knee), who was lost for the season back in November. LeVert could theoretically be available for his new team Sunday since the Pacers and Cavaliers play each other, though the trade would need to be officially finalized with the league before opening tipoff, which is less than 90 minutes away.
Feb 5, 2022
Drops season-high 42
LeVert recorded a season-high 42 points (19-26 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3-3 FT) in Friday's 122-115 loss to the Bulls along with five rebound and eight assists across 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With the rest of the Pacers' regular starters sidelined, LeVert took his opportunity to shine and ran with it. He is averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.2 triples across 36.4 minutes in his previous five games. There are currently rumors about him being on the trading block and he is certainly showcasing his capabilities. He will suit up against one of those teams reportedly pursuing him Saturday, when the Pacers play the Cavaliers.
Feb 3, 2022
Clutch effort falls short
LeVert chipped in 26 points (10-24 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was slightly inefficient, but heated up down the stretch of a close game. LeVert is on a solo mission in Indianapolis with Myles Turner (foot), Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) all inactive, as well as promising rookie Isaiah Jackson (ankle) getting injured on Wednesday's first play. This is a hindrance to LeVert's playmaking abilities, but his usage has been through the roof. He'll next take the court Friday against the Bulls.
Feb 1, 2022
Flirts with triple-double
LeVert finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 122-116 win over the Clippers. He also had five turnovers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert emerged from a mini-slump with Monday's well-rounded effort. In three games prior, LeVert had shot 27.8 percent from the field on 10-of-36 shooting. While the turnovers were a blemish on an otherwise productive night, LeVert logged a team-high 36 minutes en route to the victory. He's a cog of Indianapolis' offense, but remains a trade candidate with the February 10 trade deadline looming
Jan 25, 2022
Posts strong stat line in return
LeVert notched 19 points (8-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and eight assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 117-113 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed each of Indiana's previous two games with a calf injury, but he was able to return to the court and play 32 minutes Monday. The veteran didn't shoot particularly well from inside the arc, but he complemented a 3-for-6 showing from three-point range with a team-leading eights assists while chipping in six boards. With Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) currently shut down, LeVert will likely continue running the point for the Pacers. That should help him maintain his status as a strong fantasy asset capable of contributing across-the-board stats on a nightly basis.
Jan 24, 2022
Set to play Monday
LeVert (calf) will be available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of Locked On Pacers reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers listed LeVert as a game-time call, but in talking to reporters pregame, coach Rick Carlisle indicated that the guard will be back in action after missing the previous two contests with a calf issue. His return will be a welcomed sight for Indiana, which is still without Myles Turner (foot), Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles).
Jan 23, 2022
Game-time call for Monday
The Pacers are labeling LeVert (calf) as a game-time decision for Monday's tilt with the Pelicans, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
If he's available to play after missing the Pacers' previous two games with a sore right calf, LeVert could be in store for elevated usage as the team's starting point guard. Indiana will likely be without Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) for the next week, if not longer, potentially opening the door for a healthy LeVert to enjoy a spike in both of his field-goal attempts and his assist rate. Domantas Sabonis (ankle), Myles Turner (foot) and T.J. Warren (foot) are also sidelined, leaving Indiana without many offensive playmakers.
Jan 22, 2022
Out Saturday
LeVert (calf) is out Saturday against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a second straight game with right calf soreness. In his absence, Chris Duarte, Jeremy Lamb and Lance Stephenson are candidates for extra minutes.
Jan 21, 2022
Questionable against Suns
LeVert (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
LeVert sustained a right calf injury Wednesday against the Lakers and was unavailable Thursday. If the 27-year-old is sidelined once again, Jeremy Lamb, Lance Stephenson and Duane Washington should continue to see additional playing time.
Jan 20, 2022
Will miss Thursday's contest
LeVert (calf) has been ruled out of Thursday's contest against the Warriors, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss Thursday's action against the Warriors as he continues to recover from the right calf soreness he sustained against the Lakers on Wednesday. Expect Jeremy Lamb, Lance Stephenson and Duane Washington to see extended minutes Thursday with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) also ruled out.
Jan 20, 2022
Questionable with calf soreness
LeVert is questionable for Thursday's game at Golden State due to right calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
LeVert presumably picked up the injury during Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers, though he still played 27 minutes and put up 30 points (12-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jeremy Lamb, Lance Stephenson and Duane Washington should be more involved for Indiana should LeVert miss any time.
Jan 20, 2022
Catches fire in fourth quarter
LeVert logged 30 points (12-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had a quiet eight points through three frames before coming alive with a 22-point fourth period to carry Indiana to the comeback victory. The six-year veteran shot an ultra-efficient 12-for-16 overall, going 3-for-4 from three-point range. Though he wasn't able to extend his seven-game streak of notching at least four assists, LeVert's scoring and rebounding made plenty of fantasy managers happy Wednesday. Over his past 16 contests, LeVert is averaging 22.9 points, 5.3 dimes, 4.3 boards, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.3 steals.
Jan 17, 2022
Leads charge with 26 points
LeVert registered 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 139-133 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to look strong after returning from league protocols, as he nearly secured a triple-double in Monday's loss. It's also been encouraging to see him shoulder his usual workload following the five-game absence, averaging 34.3 minutes in his last three contests. If Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Myles Turner (foot) remain out Wednesday against the Lakers, look for the Pacers to once again lean on LeVert to spark the offense.
Jan 13, 2022
Puts up numbers in return
LeVert finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert returned to a sizable workload, providing and strong scoring effort. Additionally, Malcolm Brogdon reaggravating his achilles injury may have forced the Pacers' hand in regards to LeVert's minutes. Even though he logged a game-worst minus-28 in the box score, LeVert's performance was encouraging after a five game absence.
Jan 12, 2022
Available Wednesday
LeVert (conditioning) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had missed the last five games due to the league's health and safety protocols but will be back in action Wednesday. Although he played at least 30 minutes in each of his last nine appearances, he could have his playing time monitored against Boston.
Jan 11, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
LeVert (conditioning) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the past five games due to protocols, and he could be on a minutes limit if available. He's seen at least 30 minutes in each of his past nine appearances, with averages of 23.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals.
Jan 10, 2022
Listed out Monday
Levert (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
While it looks like the Pacers may get Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) back Monday, LeVert is still in protocols more than a week after initially testing positive for the virus. He'll sit Monday night, and even if he clears protocols in the next 48 hours, it's possible he could also miss Wednesday's rematch against the Celtics due to conditioning concerns. The Pacers also play Friday (vs. PHO) to close out a three-game Week 13.
Jan 2, 2022
Placed in protocols, out Sunday
LeVert won't be available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers after entering the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Indiana added LeVert, Goga Bitadze and T.J. Warren (foot) to the protocols Sunday, bringing the number of players who are sidelined Sunday up to seven. LeVert represents the biggest loss of the three, as he's been averaging 25.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 triples and 1.5 steals over the past five games while serving as the Pacers' top playmaker out of the backcourt with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) playing just eight minutes during that stretch due to injury and his placement in the protocols. Indiana is expected to rely heavily on two-way player Duane Washington and recent G League signee Keifer Sykes to fill heavy minutes out of the backcourt Sunday, and perhaps an additional game or two to follow.
Dec 31, 2021
Leads Pacers in scoring
LeVert generated 27 points (11-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block in 37 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been incredibly consistent recently and has scored 27 points in each of the last three contests. He's topped 20 points in each of his last four appearances and has averaged 26.3 points, 8.0 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 37.8 minutes per game during that time.
Dec 30, 2021
Can't overcome inefficiencies
LeVert recorded 27 points (8-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert shot under 45 percent from the field for fourth consecutive game. Granted, he is shouldering extra attention and usage in the void of Malcolm Brogdon (achilles), but LeVert is amid arguably his least efficient professional campaign. Slashing 42.7/31.4/81.4 through 27 starts, LeVert's future in Indianapolis carries uncertainty.
Dec 24, 2021
Flirts with triple-double
LeVert posted 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
With Malcolm Brogdon (achilles soreness) out, LeVert handled the ball and orchestrated the offense more. LeVert averaged over five assists per game last season, but that figure has dipped to just 3.6 per game this season. His 11 assists Thursday marked the first time LeVert has exceeded seven assists this year. It's also worth noting that Domantas Sabonis (calf) missed his first game of the season -- a factor in LeVert's overall impact.
Dec 22, 2021
Forgettable night
LeVert produced 17 points (4-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 125-96 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert matched Chris Duarte for the Pacers' scoring high, but offered little else in the blowout loss. LeVert logged a team-worst minus-21 during his time on the floor, but extended his 15-point streak to eight games. LeVert will look to put together a big night Thursday against the Rockets.
Dec 17, 2021
Scores at will
LeVert closed with 31 points (12-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
LeVert carved through Detroit, scoring all of his buckets within 10 feet of the hoop. This is slightly concerning in the big picture given that his three-point percentage is on pace to decrease for the third straight season, but managers can still be hyped about the strong productivity. LeVert has scored at least 15 points in seven consecutive contests and will get to recuperate until Indiana plays Miami on Tuesday.
Dec 13, 2021
Puts up 19 in loss
LeVert contributed 19 points (7-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 102-100 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has now drilled seven total threes over his last two contests, knocking down seven of 13 attempts. He continues to see an appealing workload for fantasy managers, logging 33 or more minutes in four of his last five contests. LeVert is averaging 21.1 points and 4.2 assists over that stretch, both well above his 2021 season averages.
Dec 10, 2021
Drops 26 points in win
LeVert recorded 26 points (11-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 106-93 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert remained efficient from the floor in Friday's comfortable win, and he matched his highest rebound total of the season while remaining productive in assists against Dallas. The 27-year-old has shot 49.3 percent from the floor across the last four games and has scored at least 15 points in each of those appearances.
Dec 9, 2021
Solid in win
LeVert closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-102 victory over New York.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has perhaps been turning a corner in his productivity lately -- shooting 50 percent from the field in three straight games. For the season, LeVert still ranks in the bottom third of the league in offensive efficiency, as well as in the 27th percentile of spot-up shots made. Regardless, he'll look to keep rolling against a defensively subpar Dallas team Friday.
Dec 4, 2021
Leads Pacers on scoreboard
LeVert recorded 27 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 113-104 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had shot just 23.1 percent from the floor across his last two appearances and totaled just 15 points during that time. However, he returned to form Friday with a team-high 27 points. Across the last seven games, he's averaged 15.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 29.6 minutes per contest.
Dec 2, 2021
Struggles again
LeVert finished with six points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four assists, a rebound and a steal over 28 minutes in a 114-111 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has shot 6-for 26 over his previous two games, with the respective percentages marking his two most inefficient outings of the season. Connecting on a career-low 27.1 percent of threes is a main culprit of this inefficiency. Despite an inconsistent and sometimes strugglesome start to the season, patience is the best course of action with the talented 27-year-old.
Nov 29, 2021
Cold in loss
LeVert scored nine points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), tacking on four rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes in a 100-98 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert co-led the Pacers with a plus-minus of plus-17, but had little to show for it in the box score. LeVert's production has been all over the map in 14 starts this season, hindered by a 28.6 clip from beyond the arc. Another hindering factor could simply be the Pacers' offense, as six players can be taking double-digit shots on any given night. LeVert will look to regain a rhythm Wednesday versus the Hawks.
Nov 29, 2021
Scores season-high figure
LeVert closed Sunday's 118-100 loss to the Bucks with 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
LeVert reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 7 and while he's scored in double digits in four games in a row, he's not been a very consistent threat when it comes to scoring 15 or more points. While he can still deliver value in other areas of the game, most of LeVert's value is tied to his scoring figures. He's putting up 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game during November.
Nov 24, 2021
Playing with minute restriction
LeVert will play against the Lakers on Wednesday night but will be on a minute restriction, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community Newsreports.
ANALYSIS
The wing popped up as questionable for Tuesday's contest as he is dealing with a back injury. However, LeVert will be available, but will also be on a minute restriction. The restriction does hamper the 27-year-old's fantasy value as Kelan Martin and Jeremey Lamb emerge as candidates to see additional opportunities Tuesday night.
Nov 23, 2021
Dealing with sore back
LeVert (back) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert landed on the injury report Tuesday with a sore lower back. He missed two games earlier in November due to the same issue, but he has struggled since he returned to action, averaging 11.7 points and 2.7 rebounds across 23.7 minutes per game. If he is unavailable Wednesday, then Chris Duarte would likely join the starting lineup at shooting guard.
Nov 21, 2021
Starters' minutes decreased
LeVert has seen just 35 minutes across the past two games, and he's totaled 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal.
ANALYSIS
After Saturday's games, the Pacers ranked 13th in the East with a 7-11 record. Coach Rick Carlisle is seemingly searching for some sort of solution, and he's resorted to playing the bench more over the past two games. Though the most recent contest was their biggest win of the season (111-94 over the Pelicans), the starters' minutes were down in the previous game as well, which was a three-point loss to the Hornets. Over these past two games, no player has seen more than 27 minutes, and that was Kelan Martin. The rotation will presumably normalize sooner than later, but it's been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers relying on high-usage Pacers players.
Nov 16, 2021
Struggles with shot Monday
LeVert posted 17 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 92-84 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed eight of Indiana's first 15 games of the season and that has had a clear impact on his efficiency, as he's looked rusty at times and Monday's game wasn't the exception. Even though he's scoring 16.4 points per game, the fact that he's shooting just 39.5 percent from the field should be concerning for fantasy managers who have the former Nets guard on their rosters.
Nov 13, 2021
Good to go vs. 76ers
LeVert (back) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers. He is unlikely to play minutes in the "deep 30s."
ANALYSIS
A sore back prevented LeVert from playing in Indiana's past two games, but he's good to go Saturday. Over his past three appearances, he's averaged 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes, though he's on a light minutes limit against then 76ers.
Nov 12, 2021
Officially questionable Saturday
LeVert (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been unavailable for the last two games due to lower back soreness, but coach Rick Carlisle is optimistic that the 25-year-old will be back on the court Saturday. He's appeared in just five games this year due to his lingering back issues, and he's averaged 17.2 points and 4.2 assists in 27.0 minutes per contest.
Nov 11, 2021
Hopeful to return Saturday
Head coach Rick Carlisle said the hope is to have LeVert ready to play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has missed the last two games with a sore lower back but there is optimism for him to return Saturday. In the five games he's played in, LeVert has averaged 17.2 points, 4.2 assists, three rebounds and a steal in 27.2 minutes per game. He'll figure to return to the starting five if he ends up being active.
Nov 11, 2021
Remains sidelined Thursday
LeVert (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will miss a second straight game as he deals with a lingering back injury. Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and Torrey Craig are in line for increased roles against Utah.
Nov 10, 2021
Ruled out Wednesday
LeVert has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a sore lower back.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed the first six games of the season with a back injury, but he had ramped up across the last five games and played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three appearances. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and Torrey Craig should see increased run Wednesday.
Nov 8, 2021
Scores 22 against Kings
LeVert notched 22 points (9-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 31 minutes in Sunday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
LeVert missed Indiana's first six games of the season but has looked good since returning to action, scoring at least 15 points in four of his five appearances to date while also providing decent rebounding and passing numbers. He's averaging 17.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds, but he needs to improve his efficiency since he's only shooting 38.9 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from deep -- both figures would be career-low marks for him.
Nov 6, 2021
Scores 12 with six assists
LeVert finished Friday's loss to the Blazers with 12 points (6-21 FG, 0-8 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and a steal.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't the most efficient night for LeVert, but the good news is he played 34 minutes in the loss -- his most in any game since returning from the back injury that sidelined him to begin the season. The Michigan product is averaging 16.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through four appearances.
Nov 1, 2021
Continues ramping up
LeVert supplied 16 points (6-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists and two rebounds over 24 minutes on Wednesday, as the Pacers defeated the Spurs 131-118 on Monday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues building his impact in his second game back this season. Despite the inefficiency, the volume shooting is a welcome sight for fantasy managers and is promising for his rest-of-season outlook. The Pacers were up 22 at the half and never looked back, but LeVert is likely to shed any minutes restriction over the coming week. The Pacers play the Knicks on Wednesday.
Nov 1, 2021
Available against Spurs
LeVert (back) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be available for a second straight game after he made his season debut Saturday. During the team's narrow loss to the Raptors, he totaled 15 points, two assists, two steals and a rebound in 16. minutes.
Oct 31, 2021
Questionable Monday
LeVert is questionable Monday versus San Antonio because of a back injury.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's injury-prone back is affecting his availability again, this time because of soreness. His absence would allow Justin Holiday to start and play about 30 minutes again.
Oct 31, 2021
Scores 15 points across 16 minutes
LeVert recorded 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound across 16 minutes during a 97-94 loss Saturday versus Toronto.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's 2021-22 season debut should remind his fantasy managers about how valuable a scorer he could be. Prior to Saturday, the forward averaged 20.7 points across 35 Pacers games. LeVert's primary problems remain injuries and playing time. However, his most recent stat line indicates the latter issue will not be comparably significant if given.
Oct 30, 2021
Starting in season debut
LeVert (back) will start in Saturday's season debut against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
This is relatively unexpected news, and it's possible LeVert isn't on a significant minutes limit in his first game of the year after recovering from a stress fracture in his back. Justin Holiday heads to the bench as a result.
Oct 30, 2021
Will make season debut Saturday
LeVert (back) is making his season debut Saturday against the Raptors, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been sidelined by a stress fracture in his back, but he's recovered enough to take the court. His offensive skill is especially needed Saturday, as the Pacers are down Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) again. That said, don't expect LeVert to play a full complement of minutes given the nature of his injury and it being his first game of the season.
Oct 30, 2021
Questionable vs. Toronto
LeVert (back) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Raptors, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is on the verge of making his season debut after recovering from a stress fracture in his back. If he's able to play Saturday, he'd likely have his minutes limited.
Oct 29, 2021
Still out Friday
LeVert (back) is out Friday against the Nets, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is close to making a return, but that return won't come Friday. The Pacers are also down Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) for Friday's contest.
Oct 28, 2021
Could debut Friday
LeVert (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been recovering from a stress fracture in his back and was listed as questionable before Wednesday's game before ultimately sitting out. If he makes his debut Friday, he'll likely be on a minutes limit.
Oct 27, 2021
Will not debut Wednesday
LeVert (back) will not make his season debut Wednesday against the Raptors, Tony East of Locked On Pacers reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Rick Carlisle said LeVert went through more contact work Wednesday, but the guard is still working his way back from the fractured in his back that's kept him off the floor. LeVert was listed as questionable coming into the day, so his return to action likely isn't far off. His next chance to play will arrive Friday at Brooklyn.
Oct 26, 2021
Listed questionable for Wednesday
LeVert (back) is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game at Toronto.
ANALYSIS
This is a significant step in the right direction for LeVert, who went through a full practice Tuesday for the first time since being diagnosed with a fracture in his back. Coach Rick Carlisle was noncommittal about when LeVert may return to game action, but the questionable designation indicates that his debut could come sooner than anticipated. It would still be somewhat of a surprise if LeVert is cleared to play Wednesday night, but he looks to be on track to rejoin the Pacers before the end of the week. Indiana plays at Brooklyn on Friday before returning home to host the Raptors on Saturday.
Oct 26, 2021
Makes practice return
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said LeVert (back) went through the team's practice Tuesday, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Other than stating that LeVert will be ready to play "hopefully soon," Carlisle wasn't willing to offer up a timetable for the 27-year-old wing's season debut. Nonetheless, LeVert's participation in practice marks a step forward, as he had otherwise been limited to shooting and individual drills since he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back in late September. Fantasy managers should expect LeVert to miss the Pacers' remaining three games this week, but if he continues to experience no setbacks in his subsequent practices, he could debut at some point in early November. In the meantime, high-minute starting roles on the wing for both Chris Duarte and Justin Holiday should be available while LeVert and T.J. Warren (foot) are sidelined.
Oct 25, 2021
Not yet taking contact
LeVert (back) has been shooting on the court on a daily basis, but the Pacers have yet to clear him for full-contact practices and drills as of Monday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Beyond ruling LeVert out for the first four games of the season, the Pacers haven't provided a concrete timeline for when the 27-year-old wing to make his 2021-22 debut. With Monday's game against the Bucks marking the team's fourth game, LeVert looks set to miss at least one more week of action, if not longer, based on where he stands in his recovery from a stress fracture in his back. Rookie first-round pick Chris Duarte has been the biggest beneficiary of the absences of LeVert and T.J. Warren (foot), as he's cleared 30 minutes in each of the first four contests while scoring no fewer than 15 points in any game.
Oct 16, 2021
Missing first four games
LeVert (back) will not play in the Pacers' first four regular-season games, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is recovering from a stress fracture in his back. Given the nature of the injury, his timetable for a return is tough to gauge, but the organization is confident ruling him out for the first week of the season. He's a candidate to be used in many league's IR spots.
Oct 12, 2021
Still not scrimmaging
LeVert (back) remains without a return timetable, the Indy Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Rick Carlise said Monday that LeVert continues to progress on a weekly basis, but the guard has not taken part in any five-on-five scrimmages as he works back from a stress fracture in his back. When asked about LeVert's status, Carlisle offered only a vague, coach-speak assessment. "He'll be up to speed by the time he's ready to play," the coach said. "And we don't know when that will be." Considering the regular-season opener is just over a week away and LeVert is yet to return to full contact, it's highly likely that he'll miss at least a few games to begin the year. With T.J. Warren (foot) also out indefinitely, Justin Holiday (ankle), Jeremy Lamb and rookie Chris Duarte could be set for increased minuets early on.
Sep 28, 2021
Dealing with back fracture
LeVert was diagnosed Tuesday with a stress fracture in his back, but the Pacers are optimistic that he's experiencing only a minor setback and may be ready to go sometime near the start of the regular season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
For a player with as lengthy and varied of an injury history as LeVert, the fact that he's already banged up before preseason play gets underway is less than ideal. That being said, LeVert's back hasn't been a recurring problem for him throughout his career, so there's reason to believe he'll be in line for an abbreviated absence, provided follow-up tests don't reveal anything more concerning. With T.J. Warren (foot) out indefinitely, LeVert is locked in as Indiana's clear top scoring option on the wing heading into 2021-22, assuming he can quickly move past the back injury. Over his 35 games with Indiana following his trade from Brooklyn last season, LeVert averaged 20.7 points, 4.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 32.9 minutes per contest.
May 18, 2021
Expected to miss 10-to-14 days
LeVert is expected to miss 10-to-14 days after landing in the league's health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert isn't likely to return this season for Indiana unless the team unexpectedly advances in the playoffs. The 26-year-old had been effective since landing on the Pacers, averaging 20.7 points, 4.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 triples and 1.5 steals per game across 35 appearances. LeVert joins Jeremy Lamb (knee), Myles Turner (toe) and T.J. Warren (foot) as Indiana players who will miss Tuesday's play-in game.
May 18, 2021
Will miss Tuesday's game
LeVert (COVID-19 protocols) will miss Tuesday's play-in game against Charlotte due to health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had been bothered by a migraine in Sunday's season finale against the Raptors but was expected to be ready for the play-in tournament. However, his placement into the league's health and safety protocols means he will likely be sidelined for multiple games if Indiana advances into the playoffs. It's been a brutal season of health issues for the 26-year-old, and his absence from the lineup will be a big blow to the team's chances to advance. Aaron Holiday (toe), Edmond Sumner (knee) and Justin Holiday are candidates to see increased minutes with LeVert sidelined.
May 17, 2021
Avoids injury report
LeVert (migraine) is absent from the injury report for Tuesday's play-in game versus Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was removed from Sunday's finale due to a migraine, but it won't affect his availability for Tuesday's play-in matchup. LeVert should receive another start at the point if Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) remains sidelined.
May 16, 2021
Not returning Sunday
LeVert (illness) will not return to Sunday's game against Toronto, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will not return due to a migraine after he had played 21 minutes. He should be available for Indiana's play-in game.
May 16, 2021
Questionable to return Sunday
LeVert (migraine) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's season finale may be over due to the migraine. Before leaving, LeVert had posted 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, one rebound and two steals across 21 minutes.
May 15, 2021
Carries Pacers in defeat
LeVert mustered 28 points (11-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 assists, five rebounds, two steals and a block across 39 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers have been missing several important contributors on the offensive end of the court in recent weeks, but LeVert has managed to take a step forward when the team has needed him. He has scored at least 20 points in five games in a row while also recording at least 10 assists three times in that span -- averaging 23.2 points and 9.4 assists per game during that stretch.
May 15, 2021
Playing Saturday
LeVert (knee) will play Saturday against the Lakers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
After a one-game absence, LeVert will return to the lineup. This month, he's averaged 26.0 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36.1 minutes.
May 14, 2021
Questionable Saturday
LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been one of the primary scorers for the Pacers since Malcolm Brogdon went down with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old had been playing well recently, averaging 27.5 points, 8.8 assists, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last four games. If LeVert is forced to miss Saturday's game expect T.J. McConnell to start in his place.
May 13, 2021
Sidelined Thursday
LeVert (knee) will not play Thursday against the Bucks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will join a long list of Indiana players on the sidelines Thursday as he'll miss his first game since mid-March due to a bruised knee. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Aaron Holiday (toe), Justin Holiday, Kelan Martin and Cassius Stanley could all potentially see increased minutes.
May 13, 2021
Questionable with bruised knee
LeVert is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Bucks due to a bruised right knee.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to be an essential piece of the Pacers' offense, and over the past four games, he's averaged 27.5 points, 8.8 assists, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks. If he sits out Thursday, the Pacers would be extremely shorthanded, as Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), Jeremy Lamb (knee) and Edmond Sumner (knee) are all sidelined already. If LeVert sits, more minutes and usage would be available for T.J. McConnell, Aaron Holiday (toe), Justin Holiday and Kelan Martin.
May 12, 2021
Drops team-high 24 in win
LeVert collected 24 points (8-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in a 103-94 victory over the 76ers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had another strong all-around performance and scored 20-plus points for the seventh time in his last eight contests. The guard has averaged a team-high 27.3 points over that stretch, and he's also added 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. If Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) remains out of the lineup, expect LeVert's huge role to continue.
May 11, 2021
Tallies 10 assists
LeVert scored 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with 10 assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 37 minutes in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was overshadowed by Domantas Sabonis' masterful performance, though he was strong in his own right. His line was highlighted by his fourth-double digit assist effort of the campaign. While his scoring fell off a bit from his recent form -- he scored 35 and 31 points in his last two games -- LeVert continues to earn big minutes and has also seen an uptick in ball-handling with Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) sidelined.
May 9, 2021
Logs second-straight double-double
LeVert produced 35 points (12-30 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-11 FG, 14 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 41 minutes in Saturday's 133-132 OT loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert amassed a season-high 30 shot attempts in the narrow loss as he continues to make up for Malcolm Brogdon's (hamstring) absence. LeVert is a dependable fantasy option with or without backcourt injuries and is at his best when he's roaming free at the perimeter and creating his own shots. He's manning the point more often in Brogdon's absence, and it provides a noticeable uptick in the assist column.
May 6, 2021
Bounces back with double-double
LeVert registered 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 assists, three rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old rebounded from Wednesday's 14 points on 27.8 percent shooting to post his fifth 30-plus point scoring output of the season. LeVert also chipped in with one of his best defensive efforts of the season, matching his season high with three blocks along with two steals. The fifth-year forward will look to build on Thursday's bounce-back performance Saturday at home against the Wizards.
May 6, 2021
Struggles from field Wednesday
LeVert had 14 points (5-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has settled in well as one of the Pacers' most reliable complementary scoring options behind Domantas Sabonis and his role has increased with the continued absences of players like Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), Myles Turner (toe) and T.J Warren (foot). He had a rough shooting performance Wednesday, but that shouldn't erase the fact that LeVert had scored at least 15 points in eight straight games before this one. He's averaging 22.4 points per game while shooting 46.6 percent from the field since the beginning of April.
May 3, 2021
Scoring binge continues in loss
LeVert finished with 33 points (11-28 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 154-141 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Since returning from surgery, LeVert has been able to put up mid-round value despite the fact his percentages remain somewhat questionable. With the Pacers currently running without a number of key pieces, LeVert has assumed a much larger role, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Those with shares in LeVert have to be thrilled with his recent uptick in production and obviously, it couldn't come at a better time.
Apr 30, 2021
Racks up 36 points
LeVert tallied 36 points (14-24 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 36 minutes in a loss to Brooklyn on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert couldn't carry the Pacers to a win over his former team, but he left nothing on the floor in finishing with his second-highest scoring total of the campaign. The fifth-year guard posted a fantastic shooting effort, drilling 14 of his 24 shots, including five of nine from three-point range. His 19.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals on the season are all career-best marks.
Apr 27, 2021
Goes for 16 points Tuesday
LeVert had 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Blazers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was one of three Indiana players that surpassed the 15-point mark and while the team was missing two of its best players in Domantas Sabonis (back) and Myles Turner (toe), LeVert stepped it up and delivered an efficient performance. The former Nets guard, who looks completely recovered and has settled as a key piece in the Pacers' starting lineup for a while now, has scored 15-plus points in five straight games and should be one of the team's main scoring threats going forward, especially with Sabonis still sidelined.
Apr 21, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet
LeVert scored 28 points (11-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT) to go along with six assists, five rebounds, four steals and one block across 41 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continued to rack up usage and is averaging 19.7 field-goal attempts per game across his last seven contests. He did it all on Wednesday night, however, racking up at least six assists for the second time in his last 10 games. LeVert's defensive contributions have ticked up noticeably of late as well, as he's averaged 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in that same 10-game span.
Apr 20, 2021
Scores 18 points in loss
LeVert totaled 18 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in a 109-94 loss to the Spurs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert extended his double-digit scoring streak to 12 games but failed to record a defensive stat for the first time over that stretch. Prior to Monday's contest, the guard had recorded multiple defensive stats in six consecutive games. LeVert has averaged 20.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals across his last 12 contests.
Apr 16, 2021
Paces team with 24 points
LeVert went for 24 points (10-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes of Friday's loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
LeVert appears to have found a rhythm with the Pacers, as he has now posted four straight games with at least 24 points. While his shooting wasn't on point Friday, he is still shooting 48.1 percent in April compared to 37.7 percent in March -- his first month with Indiana. LeVert's defensive skills have also been on display, as he's averaging 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks this month.
Apr 15, 2021
Scores team-high 27 in win
LeVert collected 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist in a 132-124 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's strong two-way play continued, as he scored 25-plus points with multiple defensive stats for the third consecutive game. The guard has shot very efficiently in his last three games, making 53.4 percent of his shot attempts. LeVert is averaging 29.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals per game over that span.
Apr 14, 2021
Drops 26 in Tuesday's loss
LeVert scored 26 points (7-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 11-13 FT) while adding six rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
It was another strong outing for the former Net, as LeVert scored at least 20 points for the fourth time, while also recording multiple steals plus blocks for the fourth time, in the last six games. The three rejections also tied his season high, and over those six contests the 26-year-old is averaging an impressive 22.5 points, 5.5 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.2 threes.
Apr 12, 2021
Drops 34 points in win
LeVert scored 34 points (14-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
LeVert combined volume with efficiency to post a big scoring night, as he had a 27.1 percent usage rate and a 78.1 percent true shooting percentage. The result was his biggest scoring night as a Pacer, and only the third time he's surpassed 20 points in 16 games with the club. While he's averaged 1.6 steals in that same 16 contest span, the three blocks should not be counted on going forward as he's averaged only 0.2 per game since joining Indiana.
Apr 8, 2021
Scores 18 in win
LeVert scored 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the team in shots from the field in the absence of Myles Turner (ankle), Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (hip). However, his production was a bit deflated as he failed to convert any of his three attempts from beyond the arc. More positively, Levert chipped in across the stat sheet otherwise, handing out at least four assists for the 10th time in his last 12 games.
Apr 6, 2021
Scores team-high 20 points
LeVert tallied 20 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-97 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old followed up Saturday's 26-point effort with another 20-point effort. LeVert has been on a roll over his last four games, averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers while shooting 46.9 percent from the field in that span. The fifth-year guard will look to continue his impressive play Friday, when the Pacers travel to Orlando to play the Magic.
Apr 4, 2021
Paces team with 18 points
LeVert totaled 18 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds, three steals and a blocked shot across 38 minutes in Saturday's 139-133 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
With a host of Pacers out of the lineup, LeVert propped up the backcourt and helped propel the team to their highest point total of the season. The absence of Malcolm Brogdon helped Levert open up the flood gates with 19 shot attempts snd nine assists. With or without the presence of his fellow starters, LeVert's contribution will remain significant.
Apr 2, 2021
Scores team-high 16 points
LeVert posted 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes in Friday's loss against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had a bigger responsibility on offense with Malcolm Brogdon (hip) sidelined and Domantas Sabonis being limited by an ankle problem, and he responded by putting up a team-high scoring output. LeVert continues to settle well in the Pacers backcourt and has scored in double digits in six of his last seven contests.
Mar 31, 2021
Solid stat line despite loss
LeVert had 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six assists, four steals and a rebound across 33 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was coming off an eight-point performance the last time out, but he bounced back here and was one of the Pacers' top offensive performers. LeVert has scored in double digits in eight of his first 10 games with the Pacers and is quickly settling as a reliable scoring presence in the backcourt alongside Malcolm Brogdon.
Mar 30, 2021
Struggles with shot in loss
LeVert totaled eight points (3-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in a 132-124 loss to the Wizards on Monday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had his second consecutive game in which he shot the ball inefficiently. The forward is shooting just 25.0 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from three over his last two contests. LeVert has been able to contribute in other areas to make up for the inefficient shooting and is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five games.
Mar 24, 2021
Scores 28 in win
LaVert scored 28 points (10-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
LaVert has struggled from the field in six games as a Pacer, but broke out Wednesday to eclipse 20 points for the first time with the team. Though inconsistent as a shooter, LaVert has consistently provided defensive stats and has notched at least one steal in six straight contests. LaVert should have plenty of opportunity to build on this performance, as he's topped 30 minutes in five consecutive contests.
Mar 21, 2021
Inefficient in win
LeVert registered 13 points (5-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old's minutes have increased in every game he's played in since returning to the lineup back on Mar. 13. Over his first five games as a Pacer, LeVert is averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.4 steals while playing 31.4 minutes in the span. LeVert should continue to start and provide fantasy managers with consistent points, three-pointers and steals along with decent rebounds and assists.

Clocks 34 minutes in loss
LeVert totaled 19 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to work his way back from a well-publicized absence, turning in his best game for the Pacers. The playing time has increased across each of his first three games since returning and the production has followed suit. He should now be active in all formats and despite a couple of flaws in his fantasy game, he should be able to flirt with top-80 value the rest of the way.
Mar 16, 2021
Scores 17 in second game back
LeVert had 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in Monday's loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Playing in his second game since returning from an extended absence, LeVert saw 29 minutes of action and turned in another solid all-around performance. He cut down on his turnovers (one) after committing four giveaways Saturday at Phoenix and drained three three-pointers after going 0-of-4 from downtown in his Pacers debut. LeVert should be locked in to the starting shooting guard spot going forward.
Mar 14, 2021
Plays 27 minutes in return
LeVert had 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes against the Suns on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
In his first action since mid-January, LeVert had some rust to shake off, but he fared well considering the long layoff. LeVert hoisted 14 shot attempts, and while he missed all four of his threes and committed four turnovers, it's a great sign that he was already cleared to play 27 minutes. The ex-Net will likely continue to function as the Pacers' starting two guard going forward.
Mar 13, 2021
Starting in Pacers debut
LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) will start Saturday's game against the Suns, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old hasn't seen game action since Jan. 12 due to the trade from the Nets and subsequent surgery to remove a small cancerous mass from his left kidney, but he'll still start in his debut for Indiana. Coach Nate Bjorkgren previously said LeVert isn't facing a minutes restriction, but he seems likely to face some limitations in his first game back.
Mar 13, 2021
Good to go Saturday
LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) is available for Saturday's game against the Suns, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was acquired by Indiana in January, but Saturday will be his first appearance with his new team after undergoing surgery to remove a small cancerous mass in his left kidney after the trade. Coach Nate Bjorkgren said LeVert doesn't have a minutes restriction, though he still figures to face some limitations since he hasn't seen game action since Jan. 12.
Mar 13, 2021
Officially probable
LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) is probable for Saturday's game against the Suns
ANALYSIS
LeVert was traded to the Pacers in January but hasn't yet appeared in a game for his new team after undergoing surgery to remove a small cancerous mass in his left kidney in late January. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that LeVert is expected to make his debut with the team Saturday, and the Pacers will officially designate him as questionable ahead of the game. The 26-year-old could be brought along slowly following his lengthy absence, but he could develop into a high-usage sixth man for Indiana when he's free of restrictions.
Mar 12, 2021
Returning to action Saturday
LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) will return to the court during Saturday's game against the Suns, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert hasn't played for the Pacers since being acquired as apart of a four-team trade centered around James Harden back in January. He's spent the time recovering from surgery to remove a small cancerous mass from his left kidney. Now that he's been cleared for full participation and a return to action, the only thing left to be seen is how much of a workload he'll handle. It's certainly possible that the Pacers slowly work LeVert back in while ramping up his on-court activity over the course of a few games.
Feb 27, 2021
Could return in March
LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) is expected to be ready to make his Pacers debut at some point in March after the All-Star break, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Since being acquired from the Nets in a four-team trade in January, LeVert has been unable to take the court for his new squad after a small cancerous mass was detected on his left kidney during a physical. LeVert has since had successful surgery to remove the mass, and he looks poised to increase his activities in the next couple weeks as he gears up for a return. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, LeVert is "moving closer to returning to full-contact participation in practice," leaving the Pacers hopeful that he'll be able to play "some time after the beginning of the second half." The Pacers will wrap up their first-half schedule March 4 against the Nuggets before beginning their post-break slate March 12 versus the Lakers, so expect another update on LeVert to come at some point between that window.
Feb 15, 2021
Nearing non-contact work
LeVert (abdomen) is closing in on a return to non-contact basketball activities, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
According to head coach Nate Bjorkgren, LeVert is "moving better and better each day." A return to non-contact basketball activities would certainly be a big step in the right direction, though he still has plenty of hurdles to clear before seeing any game action.
Feb 6, 2021
Observing practice
LeVert (kidney) has been observing practice across the past three or four days, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert hasn't yet started practicing, but it's encouraging that he's active and with the team. However, it remains unclear if he'll return this season.
Jan 26, 2021
Undergoes kidney surgery
LeVert underwent successful surgery Tuesday to treat a small mass on his left kidney.
ANALYSIS
LeVert isn't expected to require any further treatment and is expected to make a full recovery. He remains out indefinitely, with the team not yet providing an update on the timeline given previously by general manager Kevin Pritchard, who suggested it would be 6-to-8 weeks before he's able to pick up a basketball.
Jan 18, 2021
Surgery likely on tap
Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard said Monday that LeVert will likely require surgery to address the small mass on his left kidney, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports. "We will know more in the next seven days...maybe 6-to-8 weeks he's picking up a basketball," Pritchard said.
ANALYSIS
Pritchard made it clear that 6-to-8 weeks isn't a projected timeline for LeVert's return, but it's apparent that the 26-year-old's team debut won't be happening anytime soon after the kidney issue was detected in his physical following last week's four-team trade. As Pritchard notes, a firmer timeline should emerge once LeVert chooses a treatment option for the kidney. With LeVert out indefinitely and possibly at risk of missing the remainder of the season, he'll be tough to justify holding in leagues with limited spots to stash injured players.
Jan 16, 2021
Out indefinitely with kidney mass
LeVert (not injury related) will be out indefinitely after an MRI revealed a small mass on his left kidney, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is obviously a serious concern for LeVert, and more tests may have to be done. Until there's a better understanding of what he's dealing with, LeVert will be listed as out indefinitely. That puts fantasy managers in a tough position, but, for now, he can be benched. While he's out, Justin Holiday, Edmond Sumner and Doug McDermott should retain their elevated roles in the rotation.
Jan 16, 2021
Trade official, not yet with team
The four-team blockbuster trade that sent LeVert to the Pacers has been made official, but LeVert has yet to join the team, Michael McCleary of the Indy Star reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert is technically able to make his debut Sunday against the Clippers, but he'll have to get to the team first, and it's not clear when that will happen. If he plays, it's not immediately clear if he would start or be used in a sixth-man capacity like the Nets often opted to do. Either way, he should still see plenty of usage within the Pacers' offense.
Jan 13, 2021
Sent to Pacers in blockbuster trade
LeVert was dealt to the Pacers in the mega-deal that sent James Harden to Brooklyn and Victor Oladipo to Houston, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert should slot in at shooting guard perfectly for Indiana next to Malcolm Brogdon. It seems possible, if not likely, that his stats will stay relatively stagnant since Victor Oladipo was taking a similar amount of shots and dishing the ball comparably. Fantasy managers certainly don't need to panic about the implications of this move for LeVert's fantasy value.
Jan 12, 2021
Cools off in second half
LeVert scored 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with six assists and five rebounds across 26 minutes in a 122-116 win over Denver on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the Nets in scoring in the first half, shooting 7-for-11 from the field to net 18 points at halftime. The guard was quiet in the second half, attempting four shots to add just two points to his total. LeVert will continue to play a big role in Brooklyn's offense as Kyrie Irving (personal) continues to miss games in the near future.
Jan 12, 2021
Returns to bench
LeVert is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Nuggets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old started the past three games in the absence of Kyrie Irving (personal), but Bruce Brown will receive the starting nod Tuesday. LeVert should still see significant run versus Denver, but he'll so beginning with the second unit rather than the starters.
Jan 10, 2021
Drops 21 in loss
LeVert finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, and four boards in 36 minutes of a 129-116 loss to the Thunder on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert made the most of his third consecutive start, scoring at least 20 points for the fourth consecutive game while recording his 22nd assist in his last three games. It's unclear how long Kyrie Irving (personal) will remain out, but as long as he is, LeVert will be the primary minutes benefactor. He'll face the Nuggets on Tuesday.
Jan 9, 2021
Explodes for 43 points
LeVert notched 43 points (15-23 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 36 minutes in Friday's loss against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
LeVert not only drained a career-high seven threes, but he made the most of the fact neither Kyrie Irving (personal) nor Kevin Durant (COVID-19) played Friday, and he carried the Nets offensively. He is no stranger at carrying the team offensively, as he already did that a few times in 2019-20, and while his upside should be high as long as he sticks in the starting lineup, his numbers will take a hit once one of Durant or Irving -- or both -- return to the team, something that could happen as soon as Sunday against the Thunder.
Jan 7, 2021
Records double-double in start
LeVert scored 22 points (9-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-10 FT) to go with 10 assists, seven rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in a 122-109 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert didn't waste a starting opportunity, attempting 15 shots in the first half alone, connecting on seven to total 18 points before halftime. The guard went cold after the intermission, shooting just 2-for-10 from the field across 16 second-half minutes. LeVert is scoring nearly four less points per game as he's transitioned into a bench role this season, but is averaging 25.0 points in his two starts this year.
Jan 7, 2021
Staring Thursday
LeVert will start in Thursday's game against the 76ers, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will start for the second time this season and should have plenty of opportunities to be aggressive on the offensive end in the absence of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. The 26-year-old is coming off a 24-point outing in Tuesday's win over the Jazz.
Jan 7, 2021
Moves into starting five
LeVert will start Thursday's game against the 76ers, Malika Andrews of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kyrie Irving (personal) sitting out, LeVert will get the nod at point guard in a depleted starting five that also includes Bruce Brown, Taurean Prince, Jeff Green and Jarrett Allen. With both of the Nets' stars out of the lineup, LeVert should be the clear No. 1 offensive option Thursday.
Jan 6, 2021
Paces bench during victory
LeVert recorded 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, two steals and one rebound in a 130-96 win versus Utah on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
LeVert provided his best production during the middle quarters. It was there when he scored a total of 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across just 12 minutes. His performance helped the team's bench keep pace with its starters, which will be expected more while Kevin Durant (COVID-19) is out.
Dec 31, 2020
Hands out eight dimes in victory
LeVert finished with 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight assists and four rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 145-141 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert moved back to the bench with the return of both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. The shift resulted in reduced minutes for LeVert who destroyed your field goal percentage, shooting just 4-of-13 from the floor. Despite a significant amount of upside, LeVert is still wildly inconsistent and given the talent he is sharing the floor with, it is hard to see him as anything more than a mid-round asset.
Dec 30, 2020
Shifts back to bench
LeVert will come off the bench Wednesday against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old received the start Monday and put up 28 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3PT, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, five steals and four rebounds across 38 minutes with both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving resting, but he'll move back to the bench Wednesday. Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) is also out for the season, but Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is starting in his place. LeVert is averaging 17.0 points, 5.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 26.8 minutes through four games and should continue operating as Brooklyn's sixth man.
Dec 29, 2020
Paces Nets in first start
LeVert scored 28 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go with 11 assists, five steals and four rebounds across 38 minutes in a 116-111 overtime loss to Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
As expected with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant resting Monday, LeVert was the go-to guy for the Nets as he scored 15 points in the second half, and added all five of Brooklyn's points in overtime. LeVert saw his most shot attempts since a start against Portland in the bubble and was the primary option on offense when the game was close late, taking all three of Brooklyn's field-goal attempts to close the fourth quarter, the first of which gave the Nets the lead. This was LeVert's first start of the year with the two Nets' stars resting and with guard Spencer Dinwiddie missing the rest of the season due to injury, could see himself working back into a starting role going forward.
Dec 28, 2020
Starting Monday
LeVert will start at point guard in Monday's matchup with the Grizzlies, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kyrie Irving (rest) and Kevin Durant (rest) sidelined, LeVert is in line for a major uptick in usage Monday. He will no doubt be a very chalky play in DFS formats as a result. The 26-year-old will replace Irving as the team's primary facilitator, and will be backed up by Bruce Brown and Landry Shamet at point guard.
Dec 27, 2020
Poor shooting effort
LeVert recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt) while adding five rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had all sorts of problems with his shot and only scored 10 points, but he still provided value off the bench due to his ability to contribute on both sides of the ball. He might be in line for a bigger role Monday against the Grizzlies due to Spencer Dinwiddie's knee injury, and that might push LeVert to the starting lineup for the first time in 2020-21.
Dec 25, 2020
Excels in garbage time
LeVert tallied 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists, a rebound and a blocked shot across 19 minutes in Friday's 123=95 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
As Brooklyn settles into their rotation, it's increasingly clear that LeVert's numbers won't be anywhere near his averages from last season. With the return of Kyrie Irving. He's locked in with the second unit and should still see significant minutes, and leading the team with seven turnovers was a factor in his lighter workload.
Dec 23, 2020
Shines off bench in blowout win
LeVert churned out 20 points (6-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block Tuesday in the Nets' 125-99 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Poor shooting from the field aside, LeVert performed about as well as fantasy managers could have hoped after the Nets announced that he would shift to a bench role to begin the season while Spencer Dinwiddie moved to the top unit alongside Kyrie Irving. If LeVert's showing in the opener is any indication, playing off the bench could prove to be fruitful for the 26-year-old, who enjoyed a 33.2 percent usage rate while serving as the clear top option for the second unit. That said the blowout may have freed up more shots than normal for LeVert, as both Irving and Kevin Durant played fewer than 30 minutes while the game was in hand after three quarters.
Dec 22, 2020
Coming off bench Tuesday
LeVert will come off the bench for Tuesday's season opener against Golden State, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old won't be starting to begin the season after coach Steve Nash said he was considering the move during training camp. Spencer Dinwiddie will receive the start at shooting guard, while LeVert comes off the bench to lead the second unit.
Dec 18, 2020
Will come off bench
LeVert (knee) will come off the bench for Friday's preseason game against the Celtics, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert will be eased into the rotation in his return from a knee issue as he will come off the bench. The 26-year-old wing will likely return to the starting lineup once he is considered fully healthy.
Dec 14, 2020
Will play next preseason game
Coach Steve Nash said Monday that LeVert (knee) will be available for Friday's preseason game against the Celtics, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
A bruised knee kept LeVert out of Sunday's exhibition opener, but he'll return to full-contact practice Tuesday and, barring a setback, will be available to make his season debut Friday night. Perhaps of more interest to fantasy managers is the fact that Nash implied Sunday that he may bring LeVert off the bench to begin the regular season.
Dec 13, 2020
May not start once healthy
Coach Steve Nash indicated LeVert (kneecap) could come off the bench once he's healthy, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Nash said the 26-year-old "is clearly a starter" but that he could have more value leading Brooklyn's second unit. LeVert is unavailable for Sunday's preseason opener due to a patellar contusion, with Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris starting at shooting guard and small forward. The Nets' offense is poised to run through Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in the first unit, so LeVert could still provide plenty of fantasy value off the bench if he continues to play heavy minutes.
Aug 23, 2020
Posts 35 points in losing effort
LeVert produced 35 points (11-23 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six assists, six rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Sunday's 150-122 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert one of his best games in the bubble to no avail, as the Nets couldn't notch a W against the overpowering Raptors. They should hold their heads high, as the Nets exceeded every expectation this season. They earned a playoff spot with a depleted roster, and without Kyrie Irving to direct the offense, LeVert seized the opportunity. With a tough playoff series under his belt, LeVert leaves the bubble as a more polished and mature player.
Aug 21, 2020
Leads team with six dimes
LeVert recorded 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 117-92 Game 3 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert led the team in assists, though he cooled down from Games 1 and 2 where he totaled 26 dimes. He's still struggling with efficiency against the tough Toronto defense, shooting only 16-for-50 in the series.
Aug 19, 2020
Another strong playmaking effort
LeVert recorded 16 points (5-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one block across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 Game 2 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's shooting was awful, but he helped get his teammates involved again after going for 15 assists in Game 1. LeVert's passing has been stellar lately, and over his past five appearances, he's averaging 11.0 assists to just 3.6 turnovers. However, he's shooting just 10-for-36 in the series and has yet to make a three-pointer.
Aug 15, 2020
Named to All-Bubble Second Team
LeVert has been selected to the NBA's All-Bubble Second Team, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With so many players sidelined for the Nets, LeVert stepped up as Brooklyn's primary ballhandler, taking on the biggest workload of his career. During his six seeding game appearances, he averaged 25.0 points, 6.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33.0 minutes.
Aug 14, 2020
Scores team-high 37 points
LeVert produced 37 points (16-29 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Thursday's 134-133 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Nets could have easily tanked this game or, at the very least, rested LeVert due to his thigh injury, but coach Jacque Vaughn wanted to make sure his team was running on all cylinders before tackling the Raptors in the first round. The result was an instant classic and one of the most exciting games in Orlando. LeVert figures to be the cornerstone of Brooklyn's offensive scheme against the Raptors as long as his body holds up. Despite working through injuries, he's averaged 25 points, 6.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds in bubble play.
Aug 12, 2020
Will play Thursday
LeVert (thigh) will be available for Thursday's contest against the Trail Blazers, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert sat out Tuesday's game against the Magic due to a bruised left thigh, but he'll be available for the Nets' final seeding game. That said, there's a chance his workload is lightened before the playoffs.
Aug 10, 2020
Won't play Tuesday
LeVert will not play in Tuesday's game against the Magic due to a thigh contusion, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's absence is almost certainly precautionary after the Nets locked up the seventh seed in the East over the weekend. Joe Harris (groin), Jarrett Allen (ankle), Garrett Temple (rest) and Jamal Crawford (hamstring) will also sit out.
Aug 10, 2020
Puts up double-double in win
LeVert totaled 27 points (10-17 FG, 3Pt, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, one steal and 13 assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-120 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert paced his team in points for the second-straight contest, but his 13 assists were more notable as they marked a new season high. The performance helped the Nets clinch the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. On the year, the Michigan product is averaging 18.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, but he has upped his scoring significantly since the restart.
Aug 9, 2020
Available Sunday
LeVert (rest) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chris Milholen reports.
ANALYSIS
After it was expected that LeVert was going to rest for Sunday's contest with the Clippers, it appears plans have changed as the wing will be available. Look for LeVert to continue to excel on the undermanned Nets team in the bubble on Sunday.
Aug 9, 2020
Probable Sunday
LeVert (rest) is considered probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Harris was expected to be given a rest day for Sunday's contest with the Clippers, it now appears the wing is likely to suit up. Be sure to monitor his status as tipoff approaches.
Aug 8, 2020
Expected to rest Sunday
LeVert is likely to rest Sunday against the Clippers, Anthony Puccio of NetsDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has taken on the biggest workload of his career while in the bubble, and it's apparently taking a toll on his body. He's averaging 21.5 points on 19.3 shots, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.5 minutes. In his absence, with Joe Harris (groin) likely out as well, Tyler Johnson, Chris Chiozza and Garrett Temple could all see extra action in the backcourt.
Aug 8, 2020
Leads Nets with 22 in win
LeVert scored a team-high 22 points (9-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT) while adding seven assists, five rebounds and three steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 119-106 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Despite a threadbare roster, Brooklyn continues to stay ahead of Orlando for the No. 7 seed in the east, and LeVert's ability to fill up the basket and the box score has been a big reason why. In his four games since the restart, he's averaging 21.5 points, 4.8 boards. 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 threes.
Aug 5, 2020
Starting as expected Wednesday
LeVert (thigh) will be in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Celtics, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old sat out Tuesday's win over the Bucks with a bruised thigh, but he's good to go for Wednesday's matchup. LeVert averaged 25.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 33.5 minutes in his first two bubble games.
Aug 5, 2020
Probable Wednesday
LeVert (thigh) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Celtics, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
A bruised thigh prevented LeVert from taking part in Tuesday's win over the Bucks, but he'll likely be good to go just one day later. In his first two bubble games, he's averaging 25.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 33.5 minutes.
Aug 3, 2020
Ruled out vs. Bucks
LeVert will sit out Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to a bruised thigh, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett Allen (rest) and Joe Harris (back) are also sitting out, so it appears the Nets are prepared to accept their fate against the East-leading Bucks on the first half of a back-to-back set. LeVert, who went for 34 points in Sunday's game against Washington, should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Boston.
Aug 2, 2020
Pours in 34 points
LeVert pitched in 34 points (11-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-13 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to lead the charge for the Nets during the restart. While he didn't have his best shooting night from the field, LeVert repeatedly earned his way to the charity stripe and put together a very impressive stat line. Tuesday's matchup versus a stout Milwaukee defense represents a much greater challenge.
Jul 31, 2020
17 points, seven dimes in opener
LeVert recorded 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 128-118 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
LeVert paced the Nets in shot attempts and assists during the opener, which isn't too surprising given the state of the team. It was a solid performance, though not particularly efficient, and he had four turnovers. He'll look to clean things up a bit Sunday against the Wizards.
Jul 27, 2020
Pours in 23 points
LeVert amassed 23 points (11-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 112-107 scrimmage loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to carry a massive load offensively as the team's top option. He could potentially be faced with a difficult matchup if Jonathan Isaac (knee) suits up and covers him in Friday's bout versus the Magic. Nevertheless, Isaac may still have a minutes limit and may not even draw the assignment of guarding LeVert. With as many minutes and touches as he is likely to get going forward, he'll probably make for a strong option for fantasy purposes.
Jul 25, 2020
Explodes for 27 points
LeVert went for a team-high 27 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding three assists, three steals, and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Saturday's 124-119 scrimmage win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert paced the Nets during this scrimmage win, but the combo guard will have to carry a similar load on offense once play resumes next week. He is expected to be the team's main offensive threat due to the absence of other high-profile players such as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, and Spencer Dinwiddie, among others.
Jul 22, 2020
Scores 10 in scrimmage
LeVert posted 10 points (5-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 99-68 loss against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Nets will be without several key players in Orlando, so LeVert will be forced to carry the team offensively in their push to earn a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. He was averaging a career-best 17.7 points per game when play got suspended back in March.

Stays productive Sunday
LeVert scored 23 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
While he didn't repeat his triple-double performance from Friday or his 51-point eruption against the Celtics from Mar. 3, LeVert still delivered a very nice fantasy line. The 25-year-old wing has scored in double digits in 15 straight games since moving into the starting five for the Nets, averaging 24.2 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.7 steals over that stretch.
Mar 7, 2020
Triple-double in win
LeVert had 27 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3PT, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Friday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
LeVert continues to play well of late, averaging 24.4 points, 5.6 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games since the All-Star break. Friday night was another efficient effort, but it was overshadowed by the team parting ways with coach Kenny Atkinson on Saturday morning.
Mar 4, 2020
Explodes for career-high 51 points
LeVert exploded for 51 points (17-26 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 12-18 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 129-120 win at Boston.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has been scorching hot since returning to the starting lineup back in Feb. 3 -- he has scored at least 15 points in all but one of those games -- but he seems to have turned it up a notch here with the best performance of his career. The combo guard is averaging 24.9 points per game in his last 12 starts and while it's unrealistic to expect this kind of scoring output on a nightly basis, he should be trusted as a starter in all formats as long as he remains in Brooklyn's starting five.

Struggles with shooting in loss
LeVert (hand) finished with 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes Saturday in the Nets' 116-113 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
LeVert's counting stats were solid enough, but the poor shooting from the field and three-point range diminished the overall impact of his line. Per Brian Lewis of the New York Post, LeVert acknowledged after the game that the bruised right hand that rendered him questionable heading into the contest is "definitely not 100 percent," but the 25-year-old wing doesn't expect to require any X-rays or further examinations for the injury. He'll have two days to recover further from the injury before the Nets return to action Tuesday in Boston.
Feb 29, 2020
Will play Saturday
LeVert (hand) is good to go Saturday against Miami, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert had been considered questionable due to a bruised hand but has been cleared to play. Whether or not he's going to be at all limited remains to be seen.
Feb 29, 2020
Nursing hand injury
LeVert is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat due to a right hand contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert picked up the injury in Friday's 141-118 loss to the Hawks. His status figures to be determined closer to game time. Garrett Temple and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would presumably be in line for bigger roles if he ultimately gets ruled out.
Feb 27, 2020
Scores 34 to go with full line
LeVert poured in 34 points (10-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and four steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
LeVert has scored at least 30 in two of the last seven tilts and has swiped at least four steals in three of the last five. He's rising to the occasion with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) out for the season, and LeVert will continue to share playmaking duties with Spencer Dinwiddie.
Feb 25, 2020
Scores 19 in loss
LeVert scored 19 points (8-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding eight assists, five rebounds and a steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 115-113 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
He continues to step up in the wake of Kyrie Irving (shoulder) being shut down for the remainder of the season. LeVert has scored in double digits in eight straight games since rejoining the starting lineup, averaging 22.6 points, 5.1 assists, 4.1 boards, 2.6 threes and 2.1 steals over that span, and he should remain a key part of the Nets' attack down the stretch.
Feb 23, 2020
Swipes career-high six steals
LeVert accumulated 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six steals, three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 115-86 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
LeVert was a strong factor in the Nets' dominating defensive performance, as he accumulated a career-high six steals. Saturday also marked the eighth time in LeVert's four-year career that he's posted at least 15 points and three steals, with the Nets having a 5-3 record in those contests.
Feb 20, 2020
Takes 29 shots
LeVert racked up 25 points (9-29 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a steal in 39 minutes Thursday night, as the Nets fell to the 76ers 112-104.
ANALYSIS
His 25 points were a team-high, but his 29 shots tell a more complete story. LeVert was inefficient and easily blew away his previous high of 22 attempts from early in the season. Still, the fearless approach is a plus for fantasy purposes. Outside of Spencer Dinwiddie, LeVert is the primary beneficiary of Kyrie Irving's shutdown (shoulder) and can be expected to regularly eclipse the 20 point and maybe even 20 shot threshold.
Feb 12, 2020
Bounces back versus Raptors
LeVert amassed 20 points (10-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 101-91 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert scored at least 20 for the fourth time in the last five tilts, and he swiped a season high steal total as well. Kyrie Irving (ankle) may be ready to rejoin the lineup following the All-Star break, so those considering LeVert in daily formats will once again want to keep tabs on Irving's status heading into Brooklyn's Feb. 20 matchup versus the 76ers.
Feb 10, 2020
Off night versus Pacers
LeVert had 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 106-105 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
LeVert finished with more field-goal attempts than points and twice as many turnovers (six) as assists. It was an ugly outing for the 25-year-old wing, this after he posted a career-high 37 points in Saturday's loss to the Raptors. Those considering LeVert in daily formats heading into Wednesday's rematch versus the Raptors will want to keep tabs on the status of Kyrie Irving (knee).
Feb 8, 2020
Scores career-high 37
LeVert recorded 37 points (12-18 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-118 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert finished with career highs in scoring and made threes and ended up with over twice as many points as field-goal attempts. He has been sensational of late with Kyrie Irving (knee) sidelined, and with Irving set to miss Monday's matchup versus the Pacers, LeVert will likely remain in attack mode offensively.
Feb 5, 2020
Another impressive showing
LeVert supplied 23 points (8-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists and four rebounds in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-88 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
LeVert logged another strong line, producing a season high assist total and scoring at least 20 for the second straight tilt. Moreover, he didn't need to play many minutes, so LeVert will likely be well-rested heading into Saturday's contest against the Raptors.
Feb 3, 2020
Drops 29 points as starter
LeVert dialed up 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-97 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
LeVert drew his first start since Nov. 10 and made quite the splash, posting season highs in scoring and dimes. With Kyrie Irving (knee) likely to be sidelined for at least a week, it's going to be up to LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie to set the table offensively.
Feb 3, 2020
Back in starting five
LeVert will start Monday's game against the Suns, Nets reporter Mike Mazzeo reports.
ANALYSIS
It'll be LeVert's first start since returning from injury, and he'll slide in at shooting guard in place of Garrett Temple. Spencer Dinwiddie will also get the nod in place of the injured Kyrie Irving, as anticipated.
Jan 26, 2020
Musters 11 points
LeVert totaled 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 23 minutes in Saturday's 121-111 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
It was another bad outing for the 25-year-old, who is now shooting 33 percent from the field through his last eight games. LeVert has shot poorly since returning from a thumb injury and considering he's a restricted free agent this season, the 25-year-old will have to pick up the slack soon if he wants to maximize his earnings.
Jan 23, 2020
Scores 16 in 23 minutes
Levert accumulated 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
In the seven games since returning from a 24-game absence due to a thumb injury prior to this outing, Levert has struggled to produce even standard league value, contributing 12.8 points, 3.1 boards, 2.9 dimes, 1.4 triples and 0.6 steals per game, while shooting 36.5 percent from the field, and 60.0 percent from the charity stripe in that span. It hasn't been pretty for the 25-year old as of late, but, outside of the 37.5 percent shooting, Levert looked decent in his last game, putting up 16 points, six assists and six rebounds, while shooting 75.0 percent from the line. While this outing wasn't the worst of outcomes, it's unfortunate for fantasy owners that Levert couldn't build upon that momentum. Look for him to try and get it right in his next game against the Pistons.
Jan 20, 2020
Goes for 16 and 6 in loss
LeVert had 16 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3-4 FT) and six assists in Monday's loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
LeVert once again came off the bench, but he saw 29 minutes of action -- his most since returning from a lengthy injury absence. His 16 field goal attempts were the second-most on the team on an afternoon when the Nets were without Kyrie Irving due to a hamstring injury. LeVert's six assists also marked a season high.
Jan 13, 2020
Productive despite shooting woes
LeVert had 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-6 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 108-86 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
LeVert eclipsed the 20-minute mark and scored in double digits for the third straight contest. The return of Kyrie Irving should reduce his role moving forward, but the combo guard remains a serviceable player off the bench for the Nets even if he is making just 38.5 percent of his field goals since returning from injury earlier this month.
Jan 11, 2020
Rough shooting night Friday
LeVert managed 11 points (4-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 24 minutes Friday during the Nets' 117-113 victory against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old ended up playing two minutes more than his previous 22 against Oklahoma City. He would end up taking the most crucial shot of the game, drilling a three to give Brooklyn the lead with around a minute left in regulation. That was the fourth-year guard's best moment in what was a subpar shooting performance not short in confidence but lacking in success. But if LeVert's injury has told anything, it's that he needs time to re-adapt, as he did after his devastating foot dislocation last season.
Jan 10, 2020
To see another spike in minutes
LeVert is expected to have his minutes limit raised Friday against Miami, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
LeVert logged 22 minutes Tuesday against the Thunder, and he'll likely play around 25 minutes Friday after the team revealed his restriction is once again being raised. He didn't disappoint in just his second game back, pouring in 20 points while securing six boards.
Jan 5, 2020
Plays 16 minutes off bench
LeVert made his return from injury Saturday night against Toronto, finishing with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist in 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It was LeVert's first action in nearly two months, as he last played back on Nov. 10 against the Suns. The Nets brought him off the bench, but considering he started every game in which he played prior to the injury, LeVert figures to move back into the starting lineup in the near future.
