O.J. Mayo is expected to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Mayo will enter the starting lineup at shooting guard for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Analysis:

The Bucks are benching both Michael Carter-Williams and Jabari Parker in favor of Mayo and Jerryd Bayless. Running with the starters, expect Mayo to see minutes in the upper-20s to low-30s. He's coming off a poor performance Friday against Orlando in which he shot just 1-of-6 from the field and missed all four of his three-point attempts, so coach Jason Kidd is hoping a move into the starting lineup gives him a boost in confidence and production. Don't expect this to be a permanent change for Mayo, as he'll likely move back into a bench role within the next few games.
