Pelicans' Dante Cunningham: Will start at power forward Tuesday

Cunningham will start at power forward in Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Pelicans.com's Daniel Sallerson reports.

Analysis:

With the Pelicans sitting at 0-3, coach Alvin Gentry has elected to shake up the starting lineup for at least one game, inserting Cunningham into the mix in place of Omer Asik. With Asik hitting the bench, Anthony Davis will slide over to center, allowing Cunningham to man the power forward spot. The move to the starting five should come with a bump in minutes, but it will be up to Cunningham to turn in a quality performance Tuesday to prove he belongs on the top unit going forward.
