Cavaliers' Iman Shumpert: To start Monday vs. Heat

Shumpert is in the starting lineup for Monday's tilt with the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

The Cavaliers are resting both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, so they'll go with Deron Williams, J.R. Smith and Shumpert at the top three spots in the lineup. Shumpert should see an uptick in playing time Monday and could even help out Williams as an extra ball-handler at point guard, although Shumpert hasn't necessarily been extremely effective when seeing added minutes, so he's still isn't the most appealing option in Monday's DFS slate.
