Cavaliers' J.R. Smith: Set to return Saturday

Smith (knee) will return to the starting lineup Saturday against the Hornets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Smith missed the last two games with a hyperextended left knee, but he'll return to action Saturday and will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, pushing DeAndre Liggins to the bench. Expect Smith to play his usual complement of minutes, though his fantasy value is tied almost exclusively to whether or not he's hot from beyond the arc.
