Pelicans' Alexis Ajinca: Will start Monday vs. Suns

Ajinca will join the starting five for Monday's matchup against the Suns, Craig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Analysis:

With Terrance Jones (thumb) and Dante Cunningham (personal) both out for Monday's contest, Ajinca will draw the start next to Anthony Davis. The 7-2 center hasn't seen the floor since Jan. 12 against the Nets, when he provided one rebound and one steal in three minutes. He's appeared in 21 total games this season and is averaging 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds across 14.2 minutes per contest, but could see a higher workload Monday.
