Larry Nance Jr. is a forward-center for the Cleveland Cavaliers, filling a reserve big role at 6'7" and 245 lbs. He played college basketball at Wyoming and has built a career as a versatile frontcourt piece known for effort plays and positional flexibility. Born January 1, 1993, Nance brings veteran depth to a rotation that leans heavily on its core starters.
Through 36 games this season, Nance is averaging 3.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 12.8 minutes per game, with a 35.2% field goal percentage and a 33.8% mark from three. His free throw percentage sits at 11.6, reflecting limited attempts rather than poor shooting. With a plus-minus of -0.9, he grades out as roughly neutral when on the floor. As a reserve big logging under 13 minutes per night, his role is situational and matchup-dependent. For bettors, the limited minutes cap his upside on most counting-stat props. Points and rebounds unders tend to align with his usage pattern, while a spike in playing time due to foul trouble or injury on the frontcourt remains the most realistic path to exceeding his typical statistical ceiling. His assist and steal numbers (1.1 and 0.7 respectively) are modest but consistent with a player handling secondary playmaking duties off the bench.
