Jared Cunningham will start on Friday for Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jared Cunningham will start on Friday versus the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

There was brief speculation that Iman Shumpert (wrist) may start in his season debut, but Cunningham gets the nod with Shumpert on limited minutes and J.R. Smith (illness) out with a stomach bug. Cunningham shouldn't be rostered.

Cunningham has a -2.6 nERD on the season for the Cavaliers, making two starts in his 18 appearances on the season. His per-36 minute averages are 10.2 points, 2.7 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals with 1.2 threes.
