Listed out for Wednesday
Merrill (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Merrill just returned from a three-game absence Tuesday against Boston, logging six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one block across 19 minutes of his first start of the campaign. He's being held out Wednesday for maintenance purposes, so he's likely to be available Sunday against the Raptors.

Paltry numbers in starting role
Merrill (ankle) recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one block across 19 minutes Tuesday in the Cavaliers' 120-117 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
The Cavaliers were without three rotation regulars Tuesday in Caris LeVert (knee), Dean Wade (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (ankle), paving the way for Merrill to make his first start of the season. Merrill -- who had missed the Cavaliers' previous three games with left ankle inflammation -- didn't notice a major spike in playing time as a result of his appointment to the top unit, and he sported the lowest usage rate (7.0 percent) of the team's starters. The Cavaliers could move Merrill back to the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans if any of the three aforementioned injured players are able to return.

Analysis

Merrill has averaged 6.4 points and 2.4 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per game off the bench over his last five appearances.
