Singler will start Sunday's game against the Warriors as Greg Monroe moves to the bench, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Singler will step in at small forward, pushing Josh Smith to the power forward spot. Coach Stan Van Gundy is yet to comment on the change, but it's likely prompted by the PIstons' current seven-game slide. While Singler will see the court earlier, it remains to be seen whether his minutes load will take a significant leap. He played 26 minutes against the Bucks on Friday but played just seven in Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.
