Entering starting five
Merrill is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Pistons on Sunday.
Análisis
Merrill was able to shrug off a left ankle injury to play Sunday, and he'll make his 12th start of the season due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (illness). As a starter this season, Merrill is averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.7 threes and 0.8 steals over 26.0 minutes per game.

Available to play
Merrill (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Trending toward playing Sunday
Merrill (ankle) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons but is trending toward being available, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Análisis
Merrill missed Friday's win over the Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain, but the sixth-year pro is on the right track to return for Sunday's game. His return would mean less minutes to go around for Lonzo Ball, Craig Porter and De'Andre Hunter.

Iffy for Sunday
Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Análisis
Merrill is considered day-to-day after missing Friday's game against the Nuggets. If Merrill is unable to give it a go, there will be more minutes available for guys like Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter.

Won't go Friday
Merrill (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Análisis
Merrill won't suit up Friday due to a sprained left ankle, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Pistons. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased playing time.

Questionable with ankle sprain
Merrill is questionable for Friday's game against Denver with a left ankle sprain.
Análisis
This is a new issue for Merrill, who recently overcame a bout of left hip soreness. If the sharpshooter is unable to suit up, Jaylon Tyson would become an even more attractive fantasy option Friday.
