Bayless will start at shooting guard Friday against the Raptors.

Analysis:

Bayless will get the start at shooting guard, as Kris Middleton has to move to small forward with the ankle injury keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo out of Friday's game. This will be Bayless' first start of the year and he should play in more minutes than his season average of 19. As soon as Antetokounmpo is healthy, Bayless will head back to the bench, so this starting run will most likely be short-lived.
