Cavaliers will be without Iman Shumpert (ankle) Wednesday, Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Iman Shumpert (ankle) will not play Wednesday versus the Indiana Pacers or Thursday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Shumpert will miss the back-to-back set, but he isn't expected to miss too much time after getting in some work at shootaround. Consider him questionable for Saturday's home date with the Denver Nuggets. DeAndre Liggins is in line to start, albeit without much fantasy appeal. Kyle Korver may actually be the preferred DFS play with extra opportunity off the bench.
Liggins is averaging 4.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals over 21.9 minutes per game in 17 starting opportunities this season. His -1.8 nERD currently ranks second-worst on the Cavaliers.
