5 years agoCleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat due to rest purposes. The absence will be the first of the season for Thompson, who is averaging a double-double (14.5 points and 10.1 rebounds) over his first 13 contests. Ante Zizic is likely to enter the starting five in his place, although he remains a tricky DFS play as he has appeared in just two games since returning from injury and has not exceeded 21 minutes in either performance. Thompson should be cleared for Friday’s meeting versus Dallas.--Jesse Borek
