With the 28-year-old out of the lineup for an extended period, Max Strus seems poised to reclaim his starting small forward spot from last season, as he has started in each of Cleveland's last five contests. The Cavaliers also have Georges Niang, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson as additional wing depth during Wade's absence.

The unsung hero of Cleveland's victory was Georges Niang, who put together his best game of the season on both ends of the floor. The veteran forward finished the game with 15 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 71 percent (5-for-7) from the floor.
