Impresses in spot start
Schroder posted 26 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.
Analysis
Schroder saw his name penciled into the starting five Wednesday night with James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) sidelined, and he didn't disappoint. Schroder gave the Cavs a fighting chance, combining with Jarrett Allen to pour in 53 of his team's 116 points. This is just one point shy of his best outing of the season, when he dropped 27 points Jan. 29 while with the Kings. Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals in eight games off the bench since being dealt to Cleveland, so his production figures to take a large hit when Harden and Mitchell are cleared to return, which could arrive as soon as Friday in Detroit.

Starting sans Harden
Schroder is part of the Cavs' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Analysis
Schroder will step into the starting lineup Wednesday night due to the absence of James Harden (thumb). In eight games with the Cavaliers, Schroder is averaging 8.0 points, 4.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 20.3 minutes. Wednesday's game will be his first start for Cleveland.

Sees 22 minutes off bench
Schroder accumulated 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Oklahoma City.
Analysis
Both Schroder and Keon Ellis have secured decent roles off the bench, but neither player has standard-league fantasy appeal as long as James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are upright. Through seven appearances with Cleveland, Schroder has averaged 8.7 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes across seven contests.
