Hickson will draw the start Wednesday against the Heat, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Hickson has started back-to-back games while Kenneth Faried has been dealing with a lower back strain, but this hasn't necessarily translated in steady production. Faried is expected to be available off the bench Wednesday, which risks cutting even further into Hickson's minutes.
