Monta Ellis: Starting Tuesday

Ellis (back) will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Ellis has been afflicted by a sore back since last Thursday, but the ailment won't stop the two-guard from taking the court Tuesday. Facing the team that drafted him in 2005 and fostered his development for six-plus seasons, he'll look to bounce back from back-to-back outings with single-digit points.
