Karasev will join the starting lineup at shooting guard in Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not playing in a coach's decision in Tuesday's loss to the Hornets, Karasev will reenter the mix in a prominent role Thursday, as coach Tony Brown expressed that he wanted to give his younger players some more opportunities over the final stretch of the regular season. While Karasev figures to see a boost in minutes from the 8.4 he's averaging for the season, he may only be a placeholder in the starting five, as Bojan Bogdanovic and the now-healthy Rondae Hollis-Jefferson are the likeliest candidates to assume most of the minutes on the wing.
