Cavaliers' Derrick Rose (ankle) sitting out fourth straight game on Saturday

According to Cavs.com's Fred McLeod, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose will not play on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Rose has already missed three games with an ankle sprain, which means this will mark his fourth. His work at shootaround was encouraging, but given his injury history and LeBron James' ability to be the de facto point guard allows Cleveland to be cautious with the 29-year-old. In his place, Iman Shumpert will start as Jae Crowder plays his first game from the bench this season.

Through 2 games, Rose has averaged 20.4 FanDuel points in 27 minutes a game. He's projected for 826 points in 1,399 minutes the rest of the year.
