HOUSTON -- Guard Derrick Rose will miss his fifth game tonight against the Rockets because of soreness in the left ankle he sprained Oct. 20, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said.

Iman Shumpert will start in Rose's place for the second time this season.

Rose missed four consecutive games after the injury, and returned Oct. 29. The last two games have been a struggle for him, however, with 10 points in each contest on a combined 8-of-22 shooting with eight turnovers and three assists.

Dwyane Wade, and not Rose, has played the entire fourth quarter in those two games.

Shumpert will have to guard MVP candidate James Harden, who's third in the NBA in scoring (29.5 points per game) and assists (9.7).

The Rockets (8-3) set an NBA record last season with 40.3 attempted 3s per game, and they're shooting even more now. Houston leads the league in 3-point attempts (44.5) and 3s made (15.1).

The Cavs, meanwhile, are allowing the most 3-point field goals (13.4 per game) and the highest 3-point shooting percentage (.419) for an opponent in the league.

Uh-oh.

"I just think we've got to do a good job just closing out, making those guys put the ball on the floor, get to the basket," Lue said. "We know they shoot 45 3s a game, and they take a lot of tough shots also, so, they're going to make some shots, but we can't hang our head. We've got to make sure we're doing everything the right way defensively."
