Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Cleveland Cavaliers contra Chicago Bulls (20 mar 2027)

Smith (hand) exited Friday's 125-117 win over the Hawks in overtime and did not return, finishing with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 32 minutes. Smith secured his third double-double of the season while tying his season-high mark in steals. However, the big man came down on his left hand in overtime and exited to the locker room. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's game at Minnesota.

Wilson (hand) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The rookie forward went down during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, and he now needs surgery to repair a fractured right hand. More pressure will likely fall on Josh Giddey going forward, while the likes of Tre Jones and Isaac Okoro will have a chance for added streaming value.

Awaka (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks. Awaka will miss a second consecutive contest due to a back issue. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday at Minnesota.

Swain (back) is out for Friday's game against the Hawks. Swain will miss his second game in a row, with this one being the front end of a back-to-back set. He can be considered questionable for Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Mobley (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Heat. The star big man took a hard fall late in Wednesday's win over the Knicks, and he's missing his first contest of the season Friday with a sprained toe. With Mobley sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Meleek Thomas and Mario Hezonja are each viable streaming options.

Merrill (elbow) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Merrill has battled a lingering elbow issue since the preseason. He will now miss a third consecutive contest, with his next opportunity to suit up coming Friday in Miami. While Merrill is sidelined, Craig Porter, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor should see more minutes.

Tomlin is set to miss several weeks with a lower back stress reaction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. This is a tough blow for the forward and there's no guarantee he's cleared right away when he's re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks. Tomlin wasn't projected to crack the rotation ahead of Opening Night and was penciled in to be an emergency depth option.
