Deng (thigh) will start in Friday's matchup with the Magic.

Analysis:

Deng was a late scratch from the Magic's previous matchup with the Spurs due to a thigh injury, and as a result was questionable heading into Friday evening. However, not only will he return, but he will start at power forward. Barring any setbacks, expect him to take on his usual workload.
