Who will start at shooting guard for Cavaliers at Miami? Gee, no idea

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott hasn't named a starter at shooting guard for Tuesday's game at Miami, but his choices would seem to be between Alonzo Gee and Christian Eyenga. He could start Ramon Sessions, but that would leave the Cavs reserves without a point guard.
