Matt Barnes: Will start at power forward Tuesday

Barnes is coming off an outing in Atlanta on Monday where he scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench and head coach Dave Joerger has elected to move the forward into the starting lineup in place of Kosta Koufos. The move was likely made to matchup with Miami’s smaller starting lineup, as the Heat start two small forwards. Look for Barnes to potentially see an uptick in minutes, especially with how solid he has been coming off the bench to start the season.
