Tristan Thompson scored 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting with 13 rebounds and two blocks in the Cavs' 96-95 loss to the Heat on Monday.
Thompson didn't get much help from his teammates tonight against a depleted Heat squad. Kyrie Irving hit just 6-of-19 shots for 16 points, eight assists, two steals and a block in the loss, and the rest of the box score left a lot to be desired. Apr 15 - 10:07 PM

Date:

Tristan Thompson double-doubled with 12 points and 12 boards, adding two assist and three blocks in 26 minutes on Sunday.

He's come along nicely in his sophomore season with 30 double-doubles and 49 percent shooting. Although, he does lead the NBA in blocks allowed, so Thompson has still got some work to do.
Apr 14 - 7:36 PM

Tristan Thompson had 19 points, eight rebounds, two steals and a block on 8-of-13 shooting Wednesday.

He was overshadowed by Detroit's Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe, but played very well tonight. He had 15 & 16 on Sunday, and should be a strong play over the Cavs' last three games.
Apr 10 - 11:14 PM

Tristan Thompson stayed hot in a win over the Magic on Sunday, scoring 15 points with 16 rebounds and three blocks.

Eight of Thompson's boards came on the offensive glass, consistent with his season averages -- with 3.7 OREB per game, he ranks sixth in the NBA. He's also coming off a 29 & 17 eruption on Friday, and he's a must-start fantasy player until further notice.
Apr 7 - 9:37 PM

Tristan Thompson had career highs with 29 points and 17 boards against the Celtics on Friday to go with one assist and one block in 41 minutes.

He shot 10-of-17 from the field and made all nine free throws. Tristan was horrible over his last previous, shooting 39.5 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from the line. He's been solid all year and should be viewed as a must-start player.
Apr 5 - 10:44 PM

Tristan Thompson was quiet in Monday's 104-92 loss to the Hawks, scoring five points with six boards and two assists in 23 minutes.

He shot 2-of-6 from the field and 1-of-3 from the line while failing to provide any defensive stats. Thompson shot the ball well in March, making 50.4 percent of his field goal attempts and he should have better luck his next time out on Wednesday vs. Brooklyn.
Apr 1 - 10:18 PM

Tristan Thompson shot 4-of-11 from the field and 2-of-7 from the line for 10 points with five boards and one block in 23 minutes against the Sixers.

He has gone cold at the free throw line in his previous five, making just 40 percent of his 20 attempts in that span. Tristan still has been solid in the field goal shooting department and should be starting in all leagues despite the free throw woes.
Mar 30 - 12:15 AM

Tristan Thompson hit just 1-of-6 shots for two points, nine rebounds and zero blocks in Wednesday's loss.

He had 20 & 11 with two blocks on Monday, but just never got it going tonight, despite only having to deal with Chris Wilcox and Brandon Bass. He'll bounce back in his next one.
Mar 27 - 11:40 PM

Tristan Thompson was the lone bright spot in the Cavs starting lineup during Monday's 111-90 loss to the Pacers, scoring 20 points with 11 boards, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes.

He was coming off one of his worst games with an eight-point dud on Saturday, so it was nice to see him turn in a productive game Thompson is having a great sophomore year and he's a must-start player in standard leagues.
Mar 18 - 11:49 PM

Tristan Thompson shot 6-of-9 from the field for 14 points in Monday's 102-97 loss to the Knicks, adding eight boards and one block in 32 minutes.

It was nice to see him shoot the ball well since he shot an ugly 40.8 percent from the field in his previous 10 games. Thompson raised his field goal shooting to 48.8 percent, which is up from 43.9 percent in his rookie year. He's worth owning in all leagues.
Mar 4 - 10:42 PM

Tristan Thompson double-doubled against the Clippers on Friday with 15 points, 12 boards, two assists and two turnovers in 31 minutes.

Thompson dropped off a bit in February with averages of just 12.2 points, 8.9 boards, 1.0 blocks and 1.1 steals on 46 percent shooting. He's still a threat for a double-double every night and his improved free throw shooting makes him a must-start option in standard leagues.
Mar 2 - 12:37 AM

Tristan Thompson played 24 minutes in Saturday's 24-point victory, scoring just two points on 1-of-5 shooting, with 11 rebounds, three assists and one block.

TT had attempted at least eight shots in every game since mid-December, and this was a fluky game all around for Cleveland. Kyrie Irving scored 12 points and none of the Cavs' starters cracked 30 minutes, as Byron Scott reveled in the luxury of a strong bench effort (combined 59 points).
Feb 23 - 10:16 PM

Tristan Thompson shot 2-of-8 from the field and 5-of-12 from the line for nine points with 13 boards, one assist, one steal and one block in 33 minutes against the Hornets on Wednesday.

None of his six misses were blocked, which is a small surprise. Despite the quiet showing tonight, Thompson is enjoying a breakout sophomore year and is shooting an impressive 52 percent from the floor in 2013. He had a major red flag last year in getting his shot blocked and led the league in blocked percentage at 16 percent, but he’s only been blocked 13 percent of the time since January 1. He is flirting with double-doubles while adding a block every night and belongs in all lineups.
Feb 20 - 11:40 PM

Tristan Thompson has shot 70 percent from the free throw line over his last 10 games, and has improved that mark to 84.6 percent over his last six contests.

Thompson shoots below 65 percent from the stripe on the season. "If you put the work and effort in, it should get better in games," Thompson said. After a solid January, Thompson isn't cooling off in February with averages of 15.7 points, 10 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on 62.5 percent shooting. With Anderson Varejao out for the season, Thompson is a must-own, must-start player.
