Lakers' Julius Randle: Will start Tuesday

Randle (hip) will start at power forward Tuesday against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

Analysis:

Lakers coach Luke Walton indicated that while Randle may be rusty after his three-game absence, he'll face no limitations in his return after completing morning shootaround without incident. With the Lakers opening up a back-to-back set, Walton may ease Randle back in anyway, so he won't make for as strong of a DFS option as usual. Randle's return to the starting five will result in Thomas Robinson heading back to the bench.
