Merrill is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Merrill made his second start of the regular season this past Monday against the Jazz and finished with 20 points (18 of which came from beyond the arc), four assists, one rebound and three steals over 24 minutes. Merrill will return to the bench for Friday's contest due to Dean Wade (knee) returning from a one-game absence.
