Justise Winslow will replace Shaedon Sharpe in the starting lineup as the Portland Trail Blazers face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 4:00 PM, Pacific Time today. Sharpe had become the customary replacement in the absence of Damian Lillard, who is recuperating from a calf injury. Against the Cavaliers, Sharpe will return to the bench while Winslow gets the starting nod, presumably occupying the small forward position while starter Josh Hart moves to shooting guard.
The move makes sense against a Cavaliers lineup with a large frontcourt and plenty of scoring power at the guard positions.
