Mbah a Moute will return to the start in Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

After starting every game he had played in since Nov. 29, Mbah a Moute did not play in Game 5. Head coach Doc Rivers was trying to shake things up and figure out how to replace an absent Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and Mbah a Moute was did not play as a result. He is back in the stating lineup Friday however, and should see a healthy workload.
