Cavaliers' Richard Jefferson: In the starting lineup for Game 3

Jefferson will draw the start at power forward for Wednesday's Game 3 against the Warriors, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

With Kevin Love sitting out with a concussion, Jefferson will get the call to the top unit in his place. Jefferson saw 26 minutes when Love exited early with the head injury in Game 2, so look for his playing time to continue to climb Wednesday. Channing Frye is also expected to see elevated playing time off the bench, with the two veterans absorbing most of Love's minutes.
