Iman Shumpert (knee) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Houston.

Shumpert (knee) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Houston after missing Monday's practice due to a sore knee, Chris Haynes of the Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Shumpert's absence Monday looks to be only precautionary, and he's expected to work in his usual role Tuesday night. The defensive ace, who's struggled as a shooter this season, will likely spend considerable time matched up with James Harden on the defensive end.
