Tyson will come off the bench during Game 1 of the quarterfinal-round series against the Heat on Sunday.
Tyson finished the regular season on a high note, dropping a season-high 31 points as a starter for Cleveland in the loss to the Pacers. However, he'll begin the team's postseason run in the second unit against Miami on Sunday.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Posts multiple career highs
Rotowire
Tyson closed with 31 points (12-25 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 46 minutes during Sunday's 126-118 double-overtime loss to the Pacers.
Tyson made his third start of the season Sunday with the Cavaliers resting their top rotational players. Tyson has been used sparingly by the Cavaliers this season, with an average of 9.6 minutes across 47 appearances. Still, he made the most of his extended run Sunday with multiple career highs. Tyson is unlikely to crack the playoff rotation for Cleveland, however.

Tyson missed the Cavaliers' previous six games due to a left knee bone bruise before returning to action Wednesday. Though Cleveland was without Ty Jerome (knee) and Dean Wade (illness) on Wednesday, Tyson wasn't featured in the rotation, as all of his playing time came well after the outcome as decided.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Solid outing off bench
Rotowire
Tyson scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), grabbed five rebounds and blocked one shot in 17 minutes during Thursday's 137-115 win over the Hawks.
The rookie forward put together the second-best scoring game of his young career in the blowout victory and recorded just his second block while he was at it. He also contributed on the glass, and his efficiency was a plus for fantasy purposes as well. However, the bulk of his production came in the fourth quarter with the game already put away, so he likely can't be relied on for volume like this on a regular basis, even if Caris LeVert and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) remain out.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Plays garbage time of loss
Rotowire
Tyson played the final 2:44 of Sunday's 108-93 loss to the Pacers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG) and one assist in three minutes.
After being recalled from the G League's Cleveland Charge earlier in the day, Tyson was called upon off the bench Sunday, though he wasn't a part of the rotation while the game was competitive.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Making first career start

The rookie out of California has averaged only 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.

Rotowire
Tyson (hip) played the final 3:26 of Friday's 136-117 win over the Warriors, missing both of his field-goal attempts and committing a turnover during his time on the court.
The rookie first-round pick made his first appearance for the Cavaliers since missing the team's first three games of the month due to a hip injury. Tyson remains firmly outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation and could be a candidate to head to the G League's Cleveland Charge if playing time remains hard to come by at the NBA level.

Rotowire
Tyson closed Friday's 113-101 victory over the Pistons with no counting stats in one minute.
Tyson showed his face in the win, breaking into the rotation as the clock expired. The Cavaliers are once again pushing to be a competitive team in the Eastern Conference, meaning Tyson is unlikely to see much court time. There are no fantasy moves to be made here.
