Ajinca made the start at center for the Pelicans on Sunday but only recorded 11 minutes of action.

Analysis:

Ajinca has flown under the radar in some respects, but Sunday's outing showed that maybe it was for good reason. He didn't appear to get injured and wasn't in foul trouble, so it's hard to say exactly why the big man didn't play the 20.7 minutes that he's averaged over the last seven games. The Pelicans' play Wednesday and Ajinca will likely make the start once again, but his afforded minutes seem to be in question.
