Marjanovic will make his first career NBA start Friday, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

With Tim Duncan resting, coach Gregg Popovich will make a typically unconventional move and start the 7-foot-3 rookie, who is averaging just 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds this season. Marjanovic has logged only 21 total minutes in seven contests this season, so he's unlikely to make much of an impact.
