LeVert ended with 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 99-79 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
LeVert started in place of Isaac Okoro on Friday, and while the Cavaliers struggled as a team, LeVert delivered another strong individual showing. He's now surpassed the 15-point mark in his last two games, and it wouldn't be shocking if he stays in the lineup for Game 4 on Sunday.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Starting Game 3
Rotowire
LeVert will start at small forward in Friday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
LeVert will replace Isaac Okoro in the starting unit. The move is not too surprising considering how effective LeVert was in Game 2. It remains to be seen if Cleveland will stick with this lineup going forward.
LeVert (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Knicks on Saturday.
LeVert missed the final two games of the regular season to rest a lingering knee issue, but as expected, he'll be good to go for playoff action. The backup wing started 30 of his 74 regular-season appearances, posting 12.1 points, 3.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.3 minutes per game.

Rotowire

LeVert continues to play meaningful minutes off the bench, topping 30 for the third time in his past five games. He has scored double-digit points in all five games, totaling 17 assists and 11 steals.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Big night off bench
Rotowire
LeVert finished with 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the 76ers.
After making the start in place of Donovan Mitchell (finger) in Tuesday's win over Charlotte, LeVert was back on the bench Wednesday with Mitchell returning to action. Even with both Mitchell and Darius Garland available for the Cavaliers, LeVert ended up being the surprise star of the night, as he surpassed both starting guards in the scoring column and ended up playing just two seconds fewer than Garland. LeVert has hit his stride of late with averages of 19.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over the past four games, but that level of production doesn't look especially sustainable. He's averaging a more modest 0.9 steals per game for the season, and he's converted at a 51.9 percent rate from the field and 53.6 percent rate from three-point range over that four-game stretch, well above his season-long rates (41.9 percent, 37.7 percent).
