LeBron James (rest) out for Cavaliers for matchup with Indiana
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James is out for rest Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
It's the second half of a back-to-back set for the Cavaliers and it's on the road, so this isn't a huge surprise. Cleveland almost has to lose out to not keep their top spot in the Eastern Conference. J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Richard Jefferson should play more. This will also help Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love get more shots.
James ranks fifth in the league with his 15.2 nERD this season. He's averaging 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 3-pointers per game on 29.3 percent shooting from downtown.
