Kanter will draw the start at power forward Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Serge Ibaka is getting the night off for rest, opening up the starting role for Ibaka. In addition, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Andre Roberson will also be resting, so the Thunder's offense could very well run through Kanter, who has proven himself as an effective scorer on a per-minute basis off the bench this season. That will make him an attractive DFS target on the evening, but expect his production to decline with the likelihood that he moves back to a reserve role in the Thunder's following game Saturday versus the Kings.
