Cavaliers' Kevin Love: Starting Game 5

Love is back in the starting lineup at power forward for Monday's Game 5 against the Warriors, Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

While returning from a concussion in Friday's Game 4 loss, Love ended up playing 25 minutes off the bench, as coach Tyronn Lue wanted to stick with the same lineup that pulled out a 30-point victory in Game 3. However, after the Cavs ended up losing Friday's contest, Love will take back his spot in the starting five, replacing Richard Jefferson. Love's addition should give the Cavs some more offensive firepower, and he could make his presence felt down low a little more with the Warriors' Draymond Green missing the contest due to a suspension.
