INDIANAPOLIS: LeBron James and J.R. Smith are both out of the lineup tonight when the Cavs play at the Indiana Pacers, coach Tyronn Lue said. Richard Jefferson and Iman Shumpert will start in their place.
Lue elected to rest James on the second night of a back-to-back. Smith remains out with a sore right ankle. Lue is hopeful Smith can return to the lineup Friday when the Cavs host the Detroit Pistons.
