Cunningham will move into the starting lineup Saturday against the Cavaliers, Pelicans radio play-by-play announcer Sean Kelley reports.

Analysis:

Somehow, Cunningham played 32 minutes in the Pelicans' last game and attempted just one shot from the field, so he's anything but a safe option even with more looks to go around with Tyreke Evans (knee) out. That said, Cunningham probably offers a bit more multi-category upside than Alonzo Gee, who he'll replace in the starting five.
