Bargnani will start at center against Detroit on Friday.

Analysis:

Bargnani will replace Jason Smith, who should be the first big man off the bench once Bargnani or Lou Amundson leave the rotation. Bargnani is an intriguing daily fantasy consideration with four straight games with double-digit points while averaging just 23.5 minutes in those four games, but reliability isn't Bargnani's strong suit.
