Trail Blazers' Meyers Leonard: Will start at power forward Tuesday

Leonard will start at power forward for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

The Trail Blazers have been using Noah Vonleh as their starting power forward in place of Al-Farouq Aminu recently, but apparently want to give Leonard a shot to run with the starters Tuesday. He's going to have a very tough matchup with DeMarcus Cousins in the post, but as long as he doesn't get into foul trouble, he should be able to see a decent increase in playing time after logging 17 and 10 minutes over his last two games, respectively.
