Jerome closed Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 11 minutes.
Jerome was quiet in the Game 5 loss, rounding out what was a breakout season, at least from an individual standpoint. However, despite closing the season with a scoring average of 12.4 points per game, Jerome's output during the playoffs was largely underwhelming. Over the final four games, he averaged 4.7 points, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Jerome is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Friday.
Jerome struggled in his spot start in Game 2 on Tuesday, going 1-for-14 from the field and finishing with two points, three assists and two rebounds over 28 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench for Friday's crucial contest while Darius Garland (toe) returns from a four-game absence.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Comes up short in spot start
Rotowire
Jerome ended with two points (1-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-119 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Jerome moved into the starting lineup as a result of multiple absences from the regular rotation. Although it has been a breakout season for Jerome, he was unable to provide anything of value in a disappointing loss. Darius Garland (toe) has now missed four straight games and despite the urgency, could certainly be sidelined once again for Game 3. Jerome is likely to continue playing a key role but will need to increase his production with the series now shifting to Indiana.

Rotowire
Jerome is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Tuesday, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Sam Merrill will cede his spot in the starting five to Jerome while Darius Garland (toe) is sidelined. Jerome finished the regular season averaging a career-high 12.5 points per game off the bench.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Scores 21 off the bench
Rotowire
Jerome totaled 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Jerome remains one of the most consistent players in the Cavaliers' second unit. The Virginia product attempted 20 shots in Game 1, only second to Donovan Mitchell (30) in this series opener. Outside a career-high 28 points in Game 1 against the Heat in the first round, Sunday's performance was his second-highest point total in Jerome's postseason career.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Notches 18 points in win
Rotowire
Jerome posted 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block over 21 minutes during Monday's 138-83 victory over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Darius Garland (toe) missed his second game in a row and remains day-to-day. Sam Merrill has been starting in Garland's absence, but Jerome offers far more upside in fantasy formats. Through four postseason games, Cleveland's sixth man is averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 51.6 percent shooting from the field.

Rotowire
Jerome notched 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 124-87 win over the Heat in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After emerging as a key piece of the Cavs' second unit late in the regular season, Jerome hasn't faded as the pressure has ramped up in the playoffs. If anything, the journeyman guard has found another gear, recording his first career double-double in the NBA during Saturday's rout. With Darius Garland (toe) banged up, Jerome could see elevated usage again Monday as Cleveland goes for the sweep in Game 4.

Jerome is one of several Cleveland players who will sit out the regular-season finale on Sunday.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Questionable to face San Antonio
Rotowire
Jerome is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left knee soreness.
Jerome contributed 25 points during Tuesday's 122-111 victory over the Trail Blazers, but it remains to be seen if he can build off that game. Even if he's available, he's the backup point guard behind Darius Garland, and with Donovan Mitchell (groin) also set to return, Jerome's playing time will be minimal, reducing his fantasy appeal considerably.

Rotowire
Jerome finished Wednesday's 123-119 loss to the Kings with 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal across 26 minutes.
Jerome failed to find the mark from long range off the bench Wednesday, but he stepped up in the playmaking department with a team-high six assists in the absence of Darius Garland (rest). With Garland likely to return in Friday's matchup with Phoenix, Jerome may not spend as much time with the ball in his hands in that one. Jerome has averaged 12.9 points, 3.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes across his last nine outings.
