Pacers' Monta Ellis: Will start at shooting guard Sunday

Ellis will start at shooting guard for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Analysis:

Coach Nate McMillan said he was hoping to play a little faster Sunday, which was his reasoning for inserting Ellis into the top unit. C.J. Miles will head to the bench in the corresponding move and could see a slight down tick in minutes. In 23 previous starts this season, Ellis has averaged 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 31.2 minutes.
