Hickson will start at center Saturday against the Jazz.

Analysis:

Hickson is getting the start with Kenneth Faried shifting down to power forward and Danilo Gallinari sitting out to rest. Hickson is a decent play in daily games, but even with the start, there's no guarantee he plays big minutes. The Nuggets have continued to run a fairly deep rotation even under coach Melvin Hunt.
