Shumpert (knee) will start at small forward Tuesday against the Rockets, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis:

With LeBron James (rest) sidelined Tuesday, Shumpert will move into the starting lineup while the Cavaliers employ a smaller-than-usual lineup. Shumpert has averaged just 2.7 points per game in his three other starts this year, but that's too small a sample size to take that number as a true indicator of his offensive performance. He may have a greater role in the offense Tuesday with James sitting out, but it's also worth noting that Shumpert hasn't scored in double figures since March 5.
