Dellavedova is dealing with a left ankle injury, but is expected to play Monday against the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Regular point guard Mo Williams (ankle) appears doubtful to play Monday, so Dellavedova could pick up a third straight start in his stead. However, it's worth noting that Jared Cunningham was spotted with a wine-colored jersey usually reserved for starters during the Cavs' morning shooatround, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, so it's far from guaranteed that Dellavedova will be in the lineup. Even so, Dellavedova should be in line for ample minutes even if he's limited to a bench role Monday, as the expected absences of Williams, Kyrie Irving (knee), and Iman Shumpert (wrist) leave the Cavs will few other options in the backcourt.
