Shines again in starting lineup
Jerome got his second start of the year while Darius Garland (groin) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) were inactive, and once again boosted Cleveland offensively while burying a game-best total from three and ending with a team-high scoring total. Jerome set a new season high in threes made as well as points scored, notching his third outing of the year with at least 20 points. Jermone has been strong from deep over his last few games, connecting on at least four threes in two of his last three contests.

Making first career start
The Cavaliers are thin in terms of their wing depth and will give the rookie the first start of his career. Tyson will play alongside Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The rookie out of California only averages 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.
