3 years agoSan Antonio Spurs small forward Keita Bates-Diop is replacing Dejounte Murray in the starting five on Sunday against Detroit. The 25-year-old produced a huge 30-point game against LeBron James and the Lakers just a few nights ago, and it appears that head coach Gregg Popovich is rewarding him for it. Bates-Diop had done very little this season prior to Thursday's explosion, so the chances of him going off again don't look great. But the Pistons are a depleted team, and there could be some nice minutes available for the fourth-year player, which might help him have another solid outing.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
