Rotowire
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.
LeVert continues to play meaningful minutes off the bench, topping 30 for the third time in his past five games. He has scored double-digit points 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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Stays hot with solid showing
Rotowire
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.
LeVert has been on quite the run for the Cavaliers. Over the past five games, LeVert leads all Cavaliers in nine-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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Big night off bench
Rotowire
LeVert finished with 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the 76ers.
After making the start in place of Donovan Mitchell (finger) in Tuesday's win over Charlotte, LeVert was back on the bench Wednesday with Mitchell returning to action. Even with both Mitchell and Darius Garland available for the Cavaliers, LeVert ended up being the surprise star of the night, as he surpassed both starting guards in the scoring column and ended up playing just two seconds fewer than Garland. LeVert has hit his stride of late with averages of 19.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over the past four games, but that level of production doesn't look especially sustainable. He's averaging a more modest 0.9 steals per game for the season, and he's converted at a 51.9 percent rate from the field and 53.6 percent rate from three-point range over that four-game stretch, well above his season-long rates (41.9 percent, 37.7 percent).

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Pops for 22 in Tuesday's start
Rotowire
LeVert produced 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, four steals and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 120-104 win over the Hornets.
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 Cleveland's roster is at full strength.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Makes rare impact on defense
Rotowire
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.
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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Will play Monday
Rotowire
LeVert (hamstring) will play Monday versus the Wizards, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
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 points, 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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Considered questionable Monday
Rotowire
LeVert (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards.
He has missed the past two games with a sore right hamstring and remains day-to-day. Ricky Rubio will rest Monday for the second leg of the back-to-back, so the Cavaliers could lean more heavily Isaac Okoro, Lamar Stevens and Raul Neto if LeVert doesn't get the green light.
