Bucks' Jabari Parker: Returns to the starting lineup Monday

Parker will return to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Analysis:

Parker came off the bench for Saturday's game against the Heat, as he reportedly was being punished for violating a team rule. However, he'll slot back into the starting five on Monday, pushing Thon Maker back into a bench role in the corresponding move. Parker should take on his usual 30-plus minutes with the top unit and can be activated for a solid matchup with a porous Rocket defense.
