Pelicans' E'Twaun Moore: Set to come off bench Monday

Moore will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Celtics, Justin Verrier of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

The Pelicans are opting to go with their rookie Buddy Hield for his first career start Monday, so Moore will be the odd man out and move into a bench role. Both players saw similar run during Saturday's loss to the Lakers, with Moore logging 24 minutes, while Hield picked up 26. That said, with Hield now starting, Moore could see a slight decrease in playing time if the arrangement holds for multiple games.
