The Toronto Raptors will have DeMar DeRozan back in the starting lineup Wednesday when they do battle with LeBron James and Co.

The All-Star shooting guard will play at Quicken Loans Arena against the Cleveland Cavaliers following a one-game absence.

DeRozan sat out Tuesday's 93-86 road win over the Orlando Magic with what the team listed as a left thigh contusion.

The 28-year-old currently ranks 11th overall in the Association in scoring (23.7 points per game) for the 53-18 Raptors, who own a five-game lead over the Boston Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
