Spencer Hawes: Will Start Sunday

Hawes will start in place of Blake Griffin (staph infection) on Sunday against the Thunder.

Analysis:

Hawes is in store for a significant boost in value while Griffin is off the court dealing with a staph infection on his elbow. The timetable for Griffin's return is pretty vague at this point, but Hawes is expected to garner extra playing time through the All-Star break at least.
