Cavaliers' Ty Lue says 12-time All Star Dwyane Wade will move to the bench Tuesday, J.R. Smith will start
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade will move to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls according to 92.3 The Fan's Alex Hooper.
What It Means:
ESPN Dave McMenamin noted that Wade went to Lue and said he wants to come off the bench. It's probably the right move for the Cavaliers' spacing to start J.R. Smith, and this way Wade can handle the ball with the second unit. This move probably hurts Derrick Rose's value more than Wade's, because Rose will no longer handle the ball with the bench unit.
Our early projections have Wade with 29.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,900 on Tuesday against the Bulls.
