ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard T.J. Ford, Shooting guard Anthony Parker, Small forward Jamario Moon, Power forward Chris Bosh, Center Rasho Nesterovic. Bench -- Center Andrea Bargnani, Forward/Guard Carlos Delfino, Guard Jose Calderon, Forward Jason Kapono.
PLAYER NOTES: --F Carlos Delfino hit a three-pointer in the second quarter of Wednesday's win over Detroit and it was the first basket he'd made in five games. Delfino went scoreless in four games covering 42 minutes before getting 10 points against the Pistons.
--C Rasho Nesterovic loves to start. He's averaging nine points and seven rebounds a game in 28 starts as opposed to four points and three rebounds in 43 games coming off the bench.
--C Andrea Bargnani has been taken out of the starting lineup now but that doesn't mean there's no future for the second-year big man.
"Considering where we are and making the change at the point guard, we also felt like Andrea's been successful, we know he can play with that second group also," coach Sam Mitchell said. "This is no knock on Andrea and his future with the Toronto Raptors and eventually what position he's going to play, but you have to do what you have to do when you're in this position. You have to do something different."
