Suns' P.J. Tucker: Starts at small forward Sunday

Tucker will start at small forward for Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets, Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

With usual starter T.J. Warren out indefinitely with a head injury, the Suns are opting to go with Tucker in the starting lineup, despite originally using a three-guard lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight and Devin Booker. Knight heads back to the bench in the corresponding move, with Booker shifting back over to shooting guard and Tucker jumping into the open small forward spot. Tucker's entry into the starting lineup doesn't necessarily mean he's slated to see an increase in minutes, but he should still see playing time pushing the 30-minute mark like he has the last few games.
