George back to small forward, C.J. Miles will shift to the bench Thursday

C.J. Miles will shift to the bench Thursday night, Nate Taylor of the Indy Star reports.

Analysis:

Miles got the start at small forward in Wednesday's opener, but the Pacers will mix things up and go with a larger lineup Thursday to combat the Grizzlies' oversized front line. Ian Mahinmi will remain the starting center, and Jordan Hill will slot into the lineup at power forward, pushing Paul George to small forward. Miles played 36 minutes Wednesday, finishing with 18 points and three steals.
