J.R. Smith draws first start of season for Cavaliers Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward J.R. Smith will start on Wednesday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Sam Dekker (ankle) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, so Cedi Osman will move over to the four and Smith will make his first start of the season. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood should see an uptick in minutes off the bench.
numberFire's models project Smith to score 18.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,500 on Wednesday.
