Ellington will return to the starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday since Kobe Bryant (rest) will not play, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Ellington's value is completely contingent on whether or not Bryant is playing. If Bryant plays, then Ellington is stuck on the pine. If Bryant sits, then Ellington starts and plays significant minutes. This trend will likely continue for the rest of the season until Bryant decides to shut it down.
