Pelicans' E'Twaun Moore: Moves to bench role Tuesday

Moore will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Sixers.

Analysis:

Moore has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, with his latest stint with the top unit coming as a result of Solomon Hill's (personal) absence. However, Hill is back with the team and will rejoin the starting lineup at small forward Tuesday, and coach Alvin Gentry will opt to keep Buddy Hield as the top-unit shooting guard over Moore. Though a decent amount of playing time should still be available for Moore with Tyreke Evans (rest) sitting out Tuesday, Moore could be squeezed out of the rotation Wednesday against the Thunder, when the backcourt is expected to be at full strength.
