Babbitt will move from the starting lineup to a bench role for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Jennifer Hale of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis:

Babbitt has started the past few games for a Pelicans team that has been decimated by injuries this season. His move to the bench can likely be chalked up to head coach Alvin Gentry trying out a different lineup. It's remains to be seen if Babbitt will return to the starting lineup in the final few games of the season, but he should still be expected to play a large role off the bench.
