Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Muted performance in win
Wade ended with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 18 minutes during Monday's 138-83 victory over Miami in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After playing a combined 13 minutes in the opening two games of this series, Wade has averaged 20.0 minutes in his last two games for an average of 2.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. Darius Garland's (toe) two-game absence has allowed Wade to see a bit more run in the rotation, but he's a low-usage forward who rarely makes a significant impact on the stat sheet.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Muted role continues Wednesday
Wade produced one steal over six minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 win over the Heat in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Wade played fewer than seven minutes for the second straight game, barely bothering the statisticians in the process. Despite playing a somewhat meaningful role for the majority of the regular season, Cleveland has shortened their rotation, relegating Wade to nothing more than a depth piece.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Limited to eight points
Wade recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Wade didn't have his best performance Thursday, but from a category-based perspective, he at least recorded two tallies in four of the five major categories. Wade isn't expected to be a regular in the lineup when the Cavaliers are at full strength, so his upside will remain fairly low in most formats going forward.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Retreating to bench Friday
Wade will come off the bench in Friday's game against Detroit, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Back to bench role
Wade is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns.
The Cavaliers will have Darius Garland (rest) back in the starting lineup for this matchup, so Wade will return to his regular role in the second unit. He's averaging 3.4 points and 3.9 boards per game when coming off the bench this season, so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside in this matchup.

Wade started in place of the resting Darius Garland on Wednesday, matching the team high in three-pointers. The veteran forward has averaged 6.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes over his last 12 games as a starter, although he will likely revert back to the bench with Garland likely to return in Friday's game against the Suns.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Fails to score in win
Wade chipped in zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Friday's 118-117 win over the Hornets.
Wade was a non-factor, failing to score during his limited time on the court. Although he is able to see the floor on most nights, Wade's production typically leaves a lot to be desired. In seven games over the past two weeks, Wade averaged just 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per contest.
