Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Craig Porter Jr. (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday night's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Porter is dealing with a thumb strain that has kept him out of Cleveland's last two games. Even when active, though, the 24-year-old has only gotten minutes during garbage time. Cleveland is likely to give Porter enough time to properly heal given their hot start and lack of need for additional production from their guard positions.
Caris LeVert,
Ty Jerome and
Sam Merrill have all clearly shown they are more dynamic options in front of Porter. Fantasy managers looking for value off Cleveland's bench should set their sights on one of these three guards rather than Porter.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Craig Porter Jr. had an impressive all-around outing in the Las Vegas Summer League on Sunday, leading his team to a 112-81 victory over Milwaukee. The 24-year-old netted 15 points with 5-for-7 shooting and had six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block across 21 minutes on the floor. Porter Jr. did well at times during his rookie campaign in 2023-24 but averaged only 12.7 minutes per game. Good efforts in the Summer League could help him get closer to a more regular role. He has registered 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 22.2 minutes through two games in Las Vegas.

Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of Game 5 against the Celtics on Wednesday. The 24-year-old injured his left ankle in the team's regular-season finale and hasn't yet played in the playoffs. However, it looks like Porter Jr. could be available again for Cleveland on Wednesday. The Cavaliers will need all the warm bodies they can get if
Donovan Mitchell (calf),
Caris LeVert (knee), and
Jarrett Allen (rib) can't shake off questionable tags.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) won't play in Saturday's postseason clash with the Magic. He tweaked his ankle during Cleveland's final game of the regular season. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear Porter will be back anytime soon, with head coach J.B. Bickerstaff reporting that the 24-year-old is currently on crutches. With that said, the Cavs will have
Donovan Mitchell and
Darius Garland handling things in the backcourt, so Porter wasn't figured to see much action anyway.
