Felton will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Hornets, Earl K. Sneed of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis:

Chandler Parsons will come off the bench, moving Wesley Matthews to small forward and pushing Felton into the starting lineup at shooting guard. Felton is averaging 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 26 minutes this season. He could see a slight bump in minutes in getting the start, but he'll likely still produce numbers similar to his season averages. Felton getting the start is likely only for this game as well, so expect him to move back into a bench role following Thursday.
