Tyler Cavanaugh

Hawks' Tyler Cavanaugh making first career start at center on Tuesday, Miles Plumlee moving to the bench

Atlanta Hawks power forward Tyler Cavanaugh will start at center against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, sending Miles Plumlee to the bench.

What It Means:

It's the first start of Cavanaugh's career. He's averaging 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.0 3-pointers in 24.4 minutes over the past three games, so the Hawks want to see what he can do in the first unit. Plumlee averaged 5.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game across five starts for Atlanta.
