Plumlee will get the start Friday in place of Thaddeus Young (knee), Rod Boone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

With Young being held out due to a hyperextended knee, Plumlee will enter the starting five as the Nets go with a bigger look with Brook Lopez at center. Plumlee has grabbed at least five rebounds in seven of his last eight games but rarely sees a workload of more than 15-to-22 minutes per night.
