Cavaliers' Kevin Love: Will start in Game 6

Love will remain in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6 against the Warriors, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

After playing 25 minutes off the bench in his return from a concussion in Game 4, coach Tyronn Lue reinserted Love back on the top unit for Monday's Game 5. Though the Warriors were without their top post player in Draymond Green, who served a one-game suspension, Love couldn't take advantage, as he finished with a meager two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes, while committing four fouls. While coach Tyronn Lue appears to be giving Love a vote of confidence by keeping him in the lineup Thursday, the big man could still end up sacrificing minutes to Richard Jefferson.
