Cavaliers' Iman Shumpert to start in place of injured Derrick Rose (ankle)
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Iman Shumpert will make his second start of the season as point guard Derrick Rose sits against the Houston Rockets with an ankle injury.
What It Means:
As Shumpert draws the start, Dwyane Wade and Kyle Korver could also see extra minutes off the bench. Whoever occupies the other backcourt spot will get a lot of run alongside point-LeBron on Thursday night.
Projected to play 18.6 minutes against the Rockets, Shumpert is pegged for 12.4 FanDuel points at the minimum price of $3,000.
