Magic's Jeff Green: Will serve as backup power forward Wednesday

Green is expected to see a lot of minutes at power forward in Wednesday's season opener against the Heat, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

This comes as a result of Bismack Biyombo (suspension) being out and head coach Frank Vogel planning to play starting power forward Serge Ibaka at backup center for a good chunk of the game. This slides Green into the backup power forward role, giving the wing an opportunity to see some added minutes Wednesday at multiple positions. Once Biyombo returns from his suspension, however, Green will likely go back to his original role on the wing.
