Marco Belinelli: Will Join Starting Lineup Thursday

Belinelli will replace Kyle Anderson as the starting small forward in Thursday's tilt with the Thunder, the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

Anderson had been the starter in name only the last two games, as Belinelli had received more minutes in both contests. Though he turned in a quiet showing in the Spurs' most recent contest Monday versus the Clippers, he had attempted a whopping 50 shots (12.5 per game) over the preceding four outings. It appears Belinelli has the green light to fire away right now for the Spurs while Kawhi Leonard (hand) and Patty Mills (shoulder) remain out, making him an intriguing pickup outside of shallow formats.
