Caris LeVert, Lauri Markkanen Questionable For Monday
Caris LeVert (foot) and forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) are both listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. LeVert has been out since mid-February with a right foot sprain, but it seems as if he's getting somewhat close to a return. Markkanen, meanwhile, is dealing with right ankle soreness. He missed the team's most recent game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Cleveland's many injuries have led the team to lean more on Kevin Love and Cedi Osman. We've also seen Lamar Stevens earn about 16 minutes per game off the bench lately, but he hasn't made many notable contributions for fantasy purposes.

Caris LeVert Available On Saturday Evening
Caris LeVert (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus the Warriors. The veteran has played well since being traded to Atlanta, averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Fortunately, the knee soreness won't keep him off the floor. With so many injuries on the Atlanta roster, LeVert should remain involved enough to warrant consideration for any fantasy lineup, although his presence will likely mean less work for Georges Niang.

Caris LeVert Returns For Hawks Wednesday
Caris LeVert (finger) will be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. After missing Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a finger injury, Atlanta initially listed LeVert as questionable for Wednesday's game. LeVert has looked great in a Hawks uniform, averaging 20.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists across his last five appearances. Terance Mann and Vit Krejci will likely play fewer minutes now that LeVert is back in the lineup.

Caris LeVert Iffy Wednesday
Caris LeVert (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He has sprained his left middle finger and may be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. If he returns, LeVert is a candidate to fill in for Trae Young (quadriceps) in the starting unit, who is also questionable for the game. Terance Mann and Vit Krejci should see a bump in playing time if LeVert remains out. On Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, Mann had one of his best games of the season with 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 33 minutes off the bench.

Caris LeVert Is Out For Monday's Matchup With Philadelphia
Caris LeVert (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. LeVert will be sidelined for the first time since being dealt to Atlanta on February 6th due to a left middle finger sprain. Despite the setback, the 30-year-old has fit in well with his new club, finishing with at least 20 points in four of the last five games. Terance Mann and Keaton Wallace will likely carry the team's backcourt with LeVert and Trae Young (quadricep) out of action this evening.
