Hickson will start at center in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Joffrey Lauvergne has recently been starting at center, but since he's dealing with an illness, Hickson will take his spot. With Lauvergne's illness, Hickson will likely see a bump in his overall minutes, although he should move back into a bench role as soon as Lauvergne is back to full health. So far this season, Hickson is averaging 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist over 16 minutes per game.
